Black wool
Black wool is a free-to-play item, with a high alchemy value of 1 coins. The simplest way for an Ironman to get Black wool is to buy it: Wolf Wares in Havenhythe sells it for 2 coins.
“This probably came from a black sheep. You can spin it into a ball of black wool at a spinning wheel.”

Ironman verdict
Only one monster drops it: Zombie (New Varrock), at 1/1,024 (about one every 341 kills). Other sources include Sheep (black), Zombie (New Varrock), Black ewe and Black ram. One recipe uses Black wool: Ball of black wool. Black wool is available on free-to-play worlds too. It is tradeable on normal accounts, but an Ironman cannot use the Grand Exchange or trade for it, so the sources on this page are the whole list. High Alchemy turns one into 1 coins, which is 1 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
