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.
03:47after July 4th, I see it's time.
03:48It's time to hold all the wool.
03:53No, never mind.
03:59I don't know.
03:59It's time to fly.
04:01I see it's time to fly.
04:02And, you know, a nice piece of greystrings.
04:05It's time to fly.
04:06All times to fly.
04:07Everything isn't going bad, man.
04:08You're not going to my heart.
04:10It's time to fly.
04:10And, you know, I love to find male things.
04:12My mood is coming to fly.
04:13As you've for example,
04:13It's time to fly.
04:14ORGAN PLAYS
04:44THEY'RE GETTING CLOSE
04:49I CAN SEE THE HILLS
04:54SEE THOSE LITTLE WHITE DOTS
04:58THEY'RE SHEEP
05:14WE FOUND THE SHEEP
05:21AND SAW CAL, THE SHEEP DOG, HARD AT WORK
05:25CAL UNDERSTOOD EXACTLY WHAT NORMAN THE SHEPHERD WANTED HIM TO DO
05:31THEY WERE MOVING THE SHEEP TO WANT THE FARM
05:36BECAUSE IT WAS TIME TO HAVE THEIR WOOLY COATS CLIPPED
05:39SOME OF THE SHEEP TRIED TO GO THE WRONG WAY
05:51BUT CAL SOON ROUNDED THEM UP
05:54WHAT HAVE YOU GOT THERE, PIPPIN?
06:08IT WAS A PIECE OF WOOL
06:09IT COMES OFF EASILY WHEN THE SHEEP'S COAT GETS LONG
06:12IT DIDN'T LOOK MUCH LIKE MY WOOL, THOUGH
06:17WE WENT TO THE BARN
06:26TO SEE HOW THE WOOL IS CLIPPED
06:28THE SHEEP'S WOOL HAD GROWN VERY LONG AND THICK
06:33TOO HOT FOR SUMMER
06:35SO IT NEEDED CUTTING
06:37IT WAS JUST LIKE HAVING A HAIRCUT
06:42IT DOESN'T HURT
06:45AND 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

07:21AND ONE FOR THE LITTLE BOY WHO LIVES DOWN THE LANE
07:32Hello!
07:34I wanted to see what happens to the wool next.
07:36Hello.
07:37So Jennifer showed me.
07:39This is the fleece you wanted to see.
07:45Oh, yes.
07:46That's just like the one we saw at the farm.
07:49But what happens to it now?
07:50Now I card it.
07:52That's called carding.
07:53It's a bit like brushing hair.
07:55Oh, that looks like a sausage.
07:57It's called a ronag.
07:58Oh.
07:59Oh.
08:00Now the wool was ready for spinning.
08:03Now the wool was ready for spinning.
08:04Oh.
08:05Oh.
08:06Now the wool was ready for spinning.
08:07Oh, that looks like a sausage.
08:08It's called a ronag.
08:09Oh.
08:10Now the wool was ready for spinning.
08:13The spinning wheel twists the wool to make one more.
08:14Oh, it's a little bit like a sausage.
08:15Oh, it's a little bit like a sausage.
08:16Oh, it's a little bit like a sausage.
08:17Oh, it looks like a sausage.
08:18It's called a ronag.
08:19Oh.
08:20Now the wool was ready for spinning.
08:23It's called a ronag.
08:24Oh.
08:25It's called a ronag.
08:26Oh.
08:27Now the wool was ready for spinning.
08:39The spinning wheel twists the wool to make one long thread.
08:47Now that looked more like knitting wool.
08:50But it wasn't blue.
08:55Bye.
09:00So we went to the factory where they colour the wool.
09:10Inside the factory we found bales of coloured wool ready for spinning.
09:19I saw some blue.
09:20But it wasn't the right blue.
09:22It was too dark.
09:23Hello?
09:24Do you know where I can find some blue wool like this?
09:26Try over there.
09:27Oh, thank you.
09:28Bye.
09:29There were dozens of machines spinning all sorts of colours.
09:32I saw some more blue wool.
09:33But it wasn't the right blue.
09:34So on I went.
09:39Then I found the place where they colour the wool.
09:40Then I found the place where they colour the wool.
09:41Then I found the place where they colour the wool.
09:47It's soaked in dye and that puts the colour in.
09:48This is it!
09:49It's soaked in dye and that puts the colour in.
09:55This is it!
09:56But it's still wet.
09:57Where can I find some that's dry?
10:02You can try over there.
10:03You can try over there.
10:04It's soaked in dye, and 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.
10:34Pippin, what have you found?
10:57That's it!
11:03My blue wool!
11:05Clever girl.
11:07I knew we'd find it in the end.
11:14The sheep grows a fleece, what a lot of wool he's got.
11:17Then along will come the summer and he gets too hot.
11:21Back, back here, back, back there.
11:25The sheep have a haircut and there's wool everywhere.
11:33The sheep have a hair cut and there's wool everywhere.
11:37The sheep have a hair cut and there's wool everywhere.
11:43We hurried home with the wool and I knitted as fast as I could.
11:53Ah!
11:54Finished at last.
11:55Two sleeves.
11:56The front and the back.
12:00Now, all we have to do is sew them together.
12:01Ah!
12:02All we have to do is sew them together.
12:03Ah!
12:04oh!
12:05Ah, finished at last. Two sleeves, the front and the back. Now, all we have to do is sew
12:25them together. And here it is, Edie's blue jumper. And now you know all about wool. Shhh, Pippin, it's
12:47here, Edie. Hello, I've come in. Oh dear, sorry I'm late. You know, I waited half an hour
13:02for a bus, then three came at once, and the one I got on only went as far as the library.
13:08Oh dear, I had to walk the rest of the way. Sit down, Edie. I'll make us a nice cup of
