This documentary was simply a masterstroke in filmmaking. I've long searched for a well informed, artistic, and overall beautiful presentation of the textile industry (in particular wool) and its many intricacies. Thank you very much for this insightful film.

Excellent film! I was born and raised in a small town located in Lancashire, which had a cotton mill, this film brought back memories of going into that mill, and I have to say from the noise and smells, did not entice me to work in the textile industry! As a knitter and looking for more local resources I am thankful for those sheep farmers around me that have taken the initiative to use as local to them that they can find micro mills to bring back to their farm wool for crafters to enjoy in the making. This film obviously has a global outlook but the end result is the same, producing quality product to the consumer.

Watching this as I'm spinning some lovely grey Merino I've washed and combed. Doing the spinning on a beautiful drop spindle and plying with an Andean ply. Very restful. On to knitting my socks!

The most interesting documentation I have ever seen. Even as a hand spinner producing my own yarn from sheep to wheel I have learned a great deal. And beautifully presented, by people who truly love what they do. Thank you so much.

Proud to be a Keighley lad, home of the first wool mill Low Mill, and it's still standing "just" I left school at 15 and went straight onto night's at Migleys Mill, I ran two rack's worsted spinners, it was hot noisy and you couldn't breathe, I worked striped to my vest "wife beater to our American friends" lol, it was bloody hard work but my mother and father worked hatersley Mill on days, and I worked at king's mill too, shame they don't mention that Keighley Low Mill was the first in the country 🤔

Amazing story of what was Yorkshire and Lancashires manufacturing history. My Parents families were involved in the woolen industry. Dad's family were originally were from Salford Lancashire, working in the local Mills. My Mums family, worked, in the clothing industry, at Montague Burtons, John Temples and other tailoring factories, sadly all gone.

Wool is the best what a human can wear or use. I am very passionate about wool and using it for my creation for last 35 years. I am amazed what we have seen being done in all those companies and want to say only 2 things. Big respect and if by any occasion post pandemic you will organise tours. I will be there. All the best.

wow! Finally a quality educative film on industrial wool production. Excellent production. I wish everyone that buys ºRed Heart” acrylic yarn for knitting or crocheting would view this!

True true. I tell my spinning and knitting friends that acrylic (some did not know it came from oil) is wrong for 3 reasons: one, we need to support our farmers and local industry, two, natural fibers are healthier for your nervous system, three, fire resistant. There is another reason, the constant war for oil. So yes, wool is great!

Great film that everyone should watch and learn from. I worked in WT Johnson for a short while after school but didn’t have a clue what was going on. I didn’t appreciate the superior quality of wool until my early 30’s and subsequently discarded my synthetic wardrobe. Respect to the carders, spinners, fullers, weavers, dyers, menders and finishers of Yorkshire and beyond.

Grew up in Dewsbury all my family worked in the Mills my Mums Parents moved for Scotland to work in the Mill My Dad grew up in Batley and like his dad worked in the Mill moving rags from Dewsbury to London. Dewsbury also produced Mungo and Shoddy recycling old wool into new cloth I can remember going with my Mum to sell clothing to the mill it was weighed an depending on the quality you got paid wooden items always brought the highest prices. Dewsbury also supplied Fabric for Army Uniforms and blankets as well as the Point Blankets made for The Hudson Bay Company in Canada.

This is excellent, absolutely excellent. The quality of the film mirrors the quality of the topic. I want to show this to a group of people in rural Spain to show them what potencial their merino wool has. And what potencial wool has in rural Spain to create a young generation of people who want to participate in the renaissance of wool in Spain. Is it possible to have subtitles, or dubbing? Thank you for your beautiful film
