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.
00:56Hello, my dears. I've knitted this jumper for my sister Edie. She's coming to tea today, so I've finished it just in time. I think she'll like it. Blue's her favourite colour. And I had some wool left over, so I knitted a coat for Pippin.
01:23Yes, Pippin, you look very smart. But there was a time I didn't think I'd ever get this jumper finished. What a to-do that was. Let me tell you the story.
01:40It 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. Pippin, we're going shopping.
02:06I took a piece of the wool with me so I could match the colour.
02:13When I got to the wool shop, I started looking for blue wool.
02:29None of these match. Too light. Too dark.
02:51Pippin. Yes, I know you're clever. But it's not the right colour. Now, put it back.
03:07Now sit there quietly while I find out about my wool.
03:13Hello. Hello. Do you have any wool exactly this colour?
03:20No, I'm afraid I've completely sold out of this colour. I could order it for you.
03:25Oh, dear. I need it today. Oh, well. Never mind. Thank you. Bye.
03:32Bye-bye. There had to be a way of getting more blue wool. I decided to start at the beginning.
03:39Now, where does wool come from? I know. Pippin, it's time to fly.
03:46MUSIC MUSIC
04:41We're getting close.
04:52I can see the hills.
04:56See those little white dots?
04:59They're sheep.
05:11We found the sheep and 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 toward the farm
05:35because it was time to have their woolly coats clipped.
05:41Come on to me. Come on.
05:42Come on to me. Come on.
05:44Good dog.
05:45How 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 haircut.
06:44It doesn't hurt,
06:45and the wool grows again to keep the sheep warm in winter.
06:55All that wool came from one sheep.
06:58And one for the little boy who lives down the lane.
07:23I wanted to see what happens to the wool next.
07:37Hello.
07:38So Jennifer showed me.
07:44This is the place you wanted to see.
07:46Oh, yes.
07:47That's just like the one we saw at the farm.
07:49But what happens to it now?
07:51Now I card it.
07:53That's called carding.
08:06It's a bit like brushing hair.
08:20Oh, that looks like a sausage.
08:23It's called a ronag.
08:25Oh.
08:26Now the wool was ready for spinning.
08:28The spinning wheel twists the wool to make one long thread.
08:45Now that looked more like knitting wool.
08:49But it wasn't blue.
08:55Bye.
09:00So we went to the factory where they colour the wool.
09:03Inside the factory, we found bales of coloured wool ready for spinning.
09:14I saw some blue.
09:15I saw some blue, but it wasn't the right blue.
09:21But it wasn't the right blue.
09:22It was too dark.
09:26Hello?
09:27Hello?
09:27Do you know where I can find some blue wool like this?
09:32Tie over there.
09:33Oh, thank you.
09:34Bye.
09:35There were dozens of machines spinning all sorts of colours.
09:46I saw some more blue wool.
09:49But it wasn't the right blue.
09:50But it wasn't the right blue.
09:52So on I went.
10:01Then I found the place where they colour the wool.
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?
10:54Pippin, what have you found?
11:00That'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.
11:15What a lot of wool he's got.
11:17Then along will come the summer, and he gets too hot.
11:21Ba, ba, here.
11:23Ba, ba, there.
11:25The sheep has a haircut, and there's wool everywhere.
11:29Ba, ba, ha, ha!
11:30The sheep have a hair cut, and there's wool everywhere.
11:31The fleece gets a comb, then it's fun to make a thread
11:40But we want a different colour, make it blue instead
11:44Back, back here, back, back 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
12:06Finished at last
12:14Two sleeves
12:16The front
12:19And 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
12:46It's all Edie
12:47Hello, 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
13:06Oh dear, I had to walk the rest of the way
13:08Sit down, Edie
13:09I'll make us a nice cup of tea
13:11Now I'll quickly wrap up Edie's present
13:15Oh, Pippin
13:20Oh, Pippin
13:26Oh, Pippin
