Suggestion "Unspool" skill for Farmer

Could we just add an Unspool skill to convert wool back to four string? It's possible for anyone to craft wool from string but not vice-versa, so a skill would be useful. (I understand that bats drop string, but it's not a reliable source, whereas wool is easy to come by so long as you have a single sheep and a pair of shears.)

While I agree, I doubt we're gonna see any farmer changes any time soon.
There have been a lot of great suggestions for it and nothing that I know of has even been talked about.

What an interesting idea! Are you wanting the string to make bows and fishing rods, yes? If so it would need to be costly so that slaying spiders for string is still an attractive option.

We're all entitled to our opinions, Azzezima. Care to back yours up with some substance?

Balance still needs to be considered with the Professions.

Ideas:
Long CD ( 1 - 2 Minutes)
Negative Return (3 String per wool)
Would cost 2% of a shear's use (Similar to how Samurai uses it's swords)
(60-1 per level)% chance to ruin the wool and get 0 string (1% at 60)
Require it be White Wool (Please no, but still an option)

I like the idea of negative returns as a "debuff."

Witch: I was thinking more for reagents than crafting, but I see your point.

Also, I could code it in myself and push it if Kainzo gives me permission :p so long as we can come up with something viable.
