00:00Look up, look down, look all around. Up in the air or on the ground. Come for a walk, come for a ride. There's so much to see, so come outside.
00:27I've got two arms. There's one. There's two. A hole at the top for your head to go through. A front and a back. And when you go out to play, I'll keep you warm all through the day.
00:49What am I? I'm a woolly jumper.
00:55Hello, my dears. I've knitted this jumper for my sister, Edie. She's coming to tea today, so I finished it just in time.
01:12I think she'll like it. Blue's her favourite colour. And I had some wool left over, so I knitted a coat for Pippin.
01:26Yes, Pippin, you look very smart. But there was a time I didn't think I'd ever get this jumper finished.
01:34What a to-do that was. Let me tell you the story.
01:43It all started a few days ago. I'd finished one sleeve and almost finished the other.
01:50Oh. Pippin, we didn't buy enough wool. And I must get this finished before Edie arrives.
02:05Pippin, we're going shopping.
02:06I took a piece of the wool with me so I could match the colour.
02:25When I got to the wool shop, I started looking for blue wool.
02:29Pippin, we're going to buy a wool wool.
02:47None of these match. Too light. Too dark.
02:54Pippin, yes, I know you're clever, but it's not the right colour.
03:05Now, put it back.
03:09Now, sit there quietly while I find out about my wool.
03:16Hello. Hello.
03:17Do you have any wool exactly this colour?
03:20No, I'm afraid I've completely sold out of this colour.
03:24I could order it for you.
03:25Oh, dear. I need it today.
03:29Oh, well. Never mind. Thank you. Bye.
03:32Bye-bye.
03:33There had to be a way of getting more blue wool.
03:37I decided to start at the beginning.
03:40Now, where does wool come from?
03:43I know. Pippin, it's time to fly.
03:46Oh, well, it's time to fly.
03:48Oh, well, it's time to fly.
03:48Oh, well, it's time to fly.
03:49Oh, well, it's time to fly.
03:50Oh, well, it's time to fly.
03:51Oh, well, it's time to fly.
03:52Oh, well, it's time to fly.
03:53Oh, well, it's time to fly.
03:54Oh, well, it's time to fly.
03:55Oh, well, it's time to fly.
03:56Oh, well, it's time to fly.
03:57Oh, well, it's time to fly.
03:58Oh, well, it's time to fly.
03:59Oh, well, it's time to fly.
04:00Oh, well, it's time to fly.
04:01Oh, well, it's time to fly.
04:02Oh, well, it's time to fly.
04:03Oh, well, it's time to fly.
04:34We're getting close.
04:53I can see the hills.
04:56See those little white dots?
04:59They're sheep.
05:04We found the sheep
05:21and saw Cal, the sheepdog, hard at work.
05:26Cal understood exactly what Norman, the shepherd, wanted him to do.
05:31They were moving the sheep to want a farm
05:36because it was time to have their woolly coats clipped.
05:41Come on, mate. Come on.
05:42Come on, mate. Come on.
05:44Good dog.
05:46How are we?
05:48Some of the sheep tried to go the wrong way,
05:52but Cal soon rounded them up.
05:54What have you got there, Pippin?
06:08It was a piece of wool.
06:10It comes off easily when the sheep's coat gets long.
06:15It didn't look much like my wool, though.
06:17We went to the barn to see how the wool is clipped.
06:29Hello.
06:30The sheep's wool had grown very long and thick.
06:34Too hot for summer, so it needed cutting.
06:37It was just like having a hair cut.
06:44It doesn't hurt,
06:46and the wool grows again to keep the sheep warm in winter.
06:48All that wool came from one sheep.
07:04Baba, black sheep, have you any wool?
07:09Yes, sir.
07:10Yes, sir.
07:11Three bags full.
07:14One for the master
07:16and one for the dame
07:18and one for the little boy
07:21who lives down the lane.
07:32Hello.
07:34I wanted to see what happens to the wool next.
07:38Hello.
07:38So Jennifer showed me.
07:44This is the fleece you wanted to see.
07:45Oh, yes, that's just like the one we saw at the farm.
07:50But what happens to it now?
07:51Now I card it.
08:04That's called carding.
08:06It's a bit like brushing hair.
08:08Oh, that looks like a sausage.
08:23It's called a ronag.
08:25Oh.
08:27Now the wool was ready for spinning.
08:28The spinning wheel twists the wool
08:42to make one long thread.
08:48Now that looked more like knitting wool.
08:51But it wasn't blue.
08:52So we went to the factory
09:02where they colour the wool.
09:10Inside the factory
09:11we found bales of coloured wool
09:13ready for spinning.
09:14I saw some blue.
09:21But it wasn't the right blue.
09:23It was too dark.
09:27Hello.
09:29Do you know where I can find
09:31some blue wool like this?
09:32Try over there.
09:33Oh, thank you.
09:35Bye.
09:35Bye.
09:35There were dozens of machines
09:44spinning all sorts of colours.
09:48I saw some more blue wool.
09:50But it wasn't the right blue.
09:53So on I went.
10:01Then I found the place
10:03where they colour the wool.
10:05It's soaked in dye
10:11and that puts the colour in.
10:16This is it!
10:19But it's still wet.
10:21Where can I find some that's dry?
10:23You can try over there.
10:35Pippin, what have you found?
10:52Pippin, what have you found?
11:01That's it!
11:02Pippin, what have you found?
11:03Pippin, what have you found?
11:04Pippin, what have you found?
11:04Wool!
11:05Pippin, what have you found?
11:06Wool!
11:07Clever girl.
11:08I knew we'd find it in the end.
11:09Pippin, what have you found?
11:10Wool!
11:15The sheep grows a fleece, what a lot of wool he's got.
11:16Then along will come the summer and he gets too hot.
11:19From the summer and he gets too hot
11:22Ba-ba-here, ba-ba-there
11:26The sheep have a haircut and there's wool everywhere
11:29The fleece gets a comb, then it's fun to make a thread
11:41But we want a different colour, make it blue instead
11:44Ba-ba-here, ba-ba-there
11:48The sheep have a haircut and there's wool everywhere
11:52We hurried home with the wool and I knitted as fast as I could
12:06Ah, finished at last
12:14Two sleeves
12:16The front and the back
12:21Now, all we have to do is sew them together
12:26And here it is, Edie's blue jumper
12:38And now you know all about wool
12:43Shhh, Pippin, it's all Edie
12:48Hello, I've come in
12:58Oh dear, I'm sorry I'm late
13:00Do you know, I waited half an hour for a bus
13:03Then three came at once
13:04And the one I got on only went as far as the library
