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. What am I? I'm a woolly jumper.
00:57Hello, my dears. I've knitted this jumper for my sister, Edie. She's coming to tea today, so I finished it just in time. I think she'll like it. Blue's her favourite colour.
01:27Pippin, 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.
02:20When I got to the wool shop, I started looking for blue wool.
02:28None of these match. Too light. Too dark.
02:50Pippin. Pippin. Yes, I know you're clever. But it's not the right colour. Now, put it back.
03:09Now, sit there quietly while I find out about my wool. Hello. Hello.
03:16Do you have any wool exactly this colour? No, I'm afraid I've completely sold out of this colour.
03:23I could order it for you. Oh, dear. I need it today.
03:28Oh, well. Never mind. Thank you. Bye. Bye-bye.
03:32There 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.
03:46See ya.
03:49Oh, man.
03:50See ya.
03:52Good job now.
03:54You know?
04:07hone5
04:43We're getting close.
04:53I can see the hills.
04:56See those little white dots?
04:59They're sheep.
05:13We 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, mate. Come on.
05:42Come on, mate. 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.
06:15Didn'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.
06:44Doesn't hurt, and the wool grows again
06:47to 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 fleece you wanted to see.
07:46Oh, yes.
07:47That's just like the one we saw at the farm.
07:50But what happens to it now?
07:51Now I card it.
07:52That'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 to make one long thread.
08:45Now that looked more like knitting wool.
08:51But it wasn't blue.
08:56Bye.
08:56So we went to the factory where they colour the wool.
09:10Inside the factory, we found bales of coloured wool ready for spinning.
09:14I saw some blue.
09:20But it wasn't the right blue.
09:23It was too dark.
09:26Hello?
09:29Do you know where I can find some blue wool like this?
09:32Try 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.
09:48I saw some more blue wool.
09:50But it wasn't the right blue.
09:53So on I went.
09:54Then I found the place where they colour the wool.
10:09It'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.
10:24No.
10:51But...
10:52It's so dry.
10:52Pippin, what have you found?
11:01That's it.
11:03My blue wool.
11:06Clever girl.
11:08I knew we'd find it in the end.
11:14The sheep grows a fleece.
11:16What a lot of wool he's got.
11:18Then along will come the summer
11:20and he gets too hot.
11:22Back, back, here.
11:24Back, back, there.
11:26The sheep have a haircut
11:27and there's wool everywhere.
11:37The fleece gets a comb,
11:39then it's fun to make a thread.
11:41But we want a different colour,
11:43make it blue instead.
11:45Back, back, here.
11:47Back, back, there.
11:48The sheep have a haircut
11:50and there's wool everywhere.
11:52We hurried home with the wool
12:02and I knitted as fast as I could.
12:06Ah, finished at last.
12:14Two sleeves,
12:16the front
12:19and the back.
12:21Now, all we have to do
12:24is sew them together.
12:35And here it is.
12:37Edie's blue jumper.
12:41And now you know all about wool.
12:43What's up, Edie?
12:45Shhh, Pippin.
12:47It's all Edie.
12:48It's all Edie.
12:57Hello.
12:58I've come in.
12:59Oh, dear.
12:59I'm sorry I'm late.
13:01Do you know,
13:01I waited half an hour for a bath
13:03and three came at once
13:04and the one I got on
13:05only went as far as the library.
13:06Oh, dear.
13:07I had to walk the rest of the way.
13:08Sit down, Edie.
13:09I'll make us a nice cup of tea.
13:12Now, I'll quickly wrap up Edie's present
13:15and...
13:15Oh.
13:19Oh, Pippin.
13:25Oh, my God.
13:35Oh, my God.
13:47Oh, my God.
