A Love Yarn (2021) Movie Script
1
- Good morning!
- Hey! How are you?
Hi!
Hey!
Sorry!
Morning, Soph!
Early as promised.
Stock inventory is go!
Hey, Rose!
Nice night?
Did Chris come over?
Um, no, he didn't.
He's pretty busy right now.
He has two commissions:
that new vineyard
and a house in Auckland.
And his football...
Uh-oh.
Soph, how many times?
Football, rugby.
Important.
Maybe why Chris hasn't...
Possibly.
Give him time!
Two years is time!
What's up?
This came from King Family Farm.
They're stopping production
and taking a whole bunch
of our sales with them,
just as I'm looking
to expand the business.
But nobody makes yarn like Ida.
Why would she close the mill?
Sheep uprising?
I'm gonna get to
the bottom of this.
Can you do the inventory
while I do some digging?
- No worries, boss.
- Thank you.
- I'll be back.
- OK!
Well, you can quit
worrying, Dad. I'm here.
Yeah, well, I would
have called earlier,
but I had to get a new SIM card
for my cell, and...
Well, yeah, yeah, I can...
Sure, I can do that.
I'll be more...
Uh, I... I'll be more expeditious.
I can be as expeditious
as possible. Sure.
Hey, say hi to Mo...
Have a biscuit...
home-made.
Thanks, Aunt Ida.
Just Ida'll do.
My brother giving you
a hard time?
Well, he's worried about me
driving on the wrong side
of the road.
And getting things
done quickly, hey?
There was an element
of that, yeah.
Well, I've got the books
ready for you in the office.
And when you want to have
a look around this place,
there's gummies on the veranda.
- Gumboots, for your feet.
- Oh.
And you need to change
out of that gear too.
It's muddy out there.
Any jeans?
Yeah, I... I came prepared.
Great coffee!
Locally roasted.
They tried to grow beans in
the Coromandel, north-east.
So, Ida, are...
are you OK with this?
Personally, sure.
Fits in with my plans.
But...
But selling off entirely?
I think that would
be a shame, Sam.
Don't let Dad hear you say that.
I have. I told him
on the phone, at length.
At least do an audit!
Which is why I'm here.
But King Enterprises
has outgrown it,
and, well, Dad had
pretty much forgotten
the... the farm was
still on the books.
"There is no room for
sentiment in business." Yeah.
That's actually
scarily accurate.
Yeah.
That's what your father thinks.
What do you think
about selling off?
This is where the whole
business started!
History, Sam!
Yeah, I... I can see that.
It's just history versus future.
Put that to my father,
and no contest.
Ah! Come on!
You might want to
sit down to do that.
Uh, you might be right.
Oh! Yeah.
Here, this pair
might be a better fit.
Um, thanks.
You know, I'm... I'm new to this.
Really?
Never would have known.
Your car?
Rental, yeah.
I'm from the States.
Like you, huh?
What's a fellow American
doing way down here?
Escaping LA.
Ah! Well, now,
that I can understand.
I'm not, like,
a big fan of LA myself.
East Coast, born and bred.
New York.
Ah! So, not liking LA would
be mandatory, of course.
Oh, absolutely!
I mean, poor you.
You had to grow up there, huh?
Hey, I managed to
survive the sunshine.
So, New Zealand...
Yeah, my mom is a Kiwi.
She met my dad in
the States and stayed.
I'm here because
of my grandma, really.
Small inheritance.
I came to find out about it,
and 3 years later...
Escapee from
the West Coast life.
Nice work!
Well, turns out I'm
a country girl at heart.
You don't miss home?
Oh, I miss Mom.
But...
this is home now.
And you have me calling
her "Mom" already.
- No, I call her "Mum" now.
- Oh.
I picked up her
old accent, she says.
Hey, hi!
I am Sophie.
Nice to meet you,
Sophie! I'm Samuel.
Uh, King.
Oh. I hope you're not
the reason I'm here.
- Are you?
- Uh...
- Sophie!
- Hi!
- What a nice surprise!
- Hi!
I see you've met my nephew.
Sophie sells our yarn
in her shop, Sam.
Oh.
I'm supposed to have
an order for Sophie,
but I'm sorry, love,
it's still drying.
Tomorrow, I promise.
Uh, no, that's fine.
It's just...
I'm here because I... I
got your letter, Ida.
I have to say,
I'm so disappointed!
I just can't understand why
you'd be stopping production.
It's not just the yarn, love.
It might be the whole shebang!
Which is why I'm here,
to see if King Enterprises
should sell.
Right, I see.
So, you are the reason I'm here.
What about you, Ida?
Either way, I'll go.
I've been invited to Mosgiel
to teach weaving and wool dying.
Mentoring a whole lot
of young talent!
Wow, that's great!
I am so happy for you!
Ah, but their gain is our loss.
Ida's yarn is our best-seller.
Local product from
a great local artist.
Thank you, Sophie.
Thanks for letting us
know so promptly, Ida.
Expeditious.
Runs in the family.
Mmm...
Speedy, you mean.
The speed limit in town
is 50 kilometers, Mr. King.
Wow! That was you.
I am... I'm so sorry.
Unfamiliar car,
wrong side of the road.
And your speed limit signs
have me so confused.
I mean, I was...
Being overly expeditious, yeah?
Oh...
Good luck with
the audit, Mr. King.
Bye!
Oh!
Hey! Take off those gummies!
You are out of control!
I mean, does all
this yarn really need
to be in rainbow-betical order?
I want it to look
as beautiful as possible.
It's incredible stuff!
And can you believe
Ida makes it all herself?
The customers are gonna be so
disappointed when it's gone.
Maybe they don't have to be.
Disappointed, I mean.
Maybe we don't
have to lose the yarn.
Here we go!
Glenda, Kyle...
Last of the yarn?
What's that about?
- Well, I think it's a shame.
- It is. It's a huge shame.
But Sophie's got
a plan, I think.
Formulating one.
If Ida can turn out
all this yarn by herself,
maybe we can too.
It's worth exploring.
If I'm gonna build the business,
it's probably
more than worth it.
Yep!
You've made your shop the
heart of this place, Sophie.
And the bigger
that heart, the better!
Hi there!
Can I help you?
Hi! Um, I'm Lucy.
I was wanting to join
the knitting group,
if you're still
accepting people.
Oh! There's no accepting.
People just turn up!
Come through, take a seat.
I'm Sophie. You'll get
to know everybody else.
There's tea, coffee and
pastries, courtesy of Kyle.
Kyle is our resident baker.
You sit here by me.
I'm Glenda.
Make yourself comfy.
Wow! That's a lot of baking!
Yeah.
Kyle starts
baking at 4:00 a.m.
He starts knitting
straight after.
He's got his priorities right.
Yeah.
Hi, Lucy! I'm Rose.
Eat those. Save me from myself.
Oh, you... you're
nearly done, Soph.
I honestly didn't think
you'd finish in time.
It's for Chris, her boyfriend.
Oh.
It's his birthday tomorrow.
Kyle's gonna bake him a cake.
- Right, Kyle?
- Yep!
It's beautiful.
Maybe I should make
a sweater for my boyfriend.
Oh, I wouldn't do
that if I were you.
Don't listen to her, Lucy.
"The sweater curse..."
It's ridiculous.
Ridiculous?
Young lady, there is nothing
in the knitting universe
more powerful than
the sweater curse.
Some people believe
if you knit a sweater for your
partner before you're married,
they'll leave you.
It happened to me! Twice.
And I'm not the only one.
I hadn't even finished
the jumper for my boyfriend
when he emailed to break up.
Who emails to break up?
Especially when you can text.
- Oh!
- Sorry.
What about you and
the sweater curse, Kyle?
He doesn't like
to talk about it.
You knit whatever
you like, Lucy.
We can even get you
started if you want.
We do one-on-one lessons.
The first two are free.
And it is just
a dumb superstition.
I suppose we'll find out
when Chris gets his sweater,
then, won't we?
Ooh!
What color can I start you with?
- I like that one.
- Perfect!
- Want me to take them both?
- No, I'll take one.
Is that the audit guy
you were telling me about?
Mr. Numbers, yeah.
You also failed to mention
he's Mr. Dreamy.
He is one of the reasons
we won't have Ida's yarns,
so don't you go being
too nice to the guy.
But I always try
to be nice, Soph.
Hi!
"Rest of the yarn tomorrow,"
which is today, as promised.
Oh, thank you for
delivering it, Ida.
So, you're Samuel.
Rose.
Pleasure.
Hi.
In the stock room
for now, please, Rose.
Rose?
May I?
Yeah, sure.
Come in.
Huh! It's nice in here.
To be honest, I've never been
inside a knitting store before.
Really? What, you buy your
silk/cashmere online then, huh?
Department store.
Different vibe.
This place has a nice one.
I hope making it bigger
is the right move, then.
I have a proposition.
If the milling equipment
is not going with you, Ida,
I'd like to buy it.
Oh, I'm not taking it.
I'll be all set up there.
But, I mean,
the equipment, it's...
Part of the assets, which has
to get sold at market price.
Might just be
a tad over your budget.
And how do you know that?
Well, sorry, I don't
mean to be rude.
It's just...
It's really expensive machinery
and tough to operate too.
I imagine it is.
Ida, when do you leave?
Two weeks.
The boys can bring the city
bloke up to speed on the farm,
but I need to show him the area
first, the local economy.
How about a quid pro quo?
Ida, you teach me how to
make and dye the yarns,
and I show Sam how things
work around Kingsvale.
Well, I think it's a great idea.
Sophie really knows
the area and all the locals.
She'd be a great tour guide!
And if you can tell me
what the budget is,
it'll give me two weeks to
make sure I can manage it.
Sound like a deal?
Well, I'm supposed to
have this all wrapped up
inside a week, but...
I guess I can
buy you a little time.
- Deal.
- Deal.
Soph, hey!
Happy birthday!
I come bearing gifts.
A late-harvest Riesling from
Mike Barnes' Cellar Door.
He says happy birthday.
Oh, that's nice!
It should go nicely
with Kyle's contribution.
I was thinking we
could have a night in.
Some wine, some cake...
I was actually thinking
we'd go down to the pub
and have a beer
with the boys from the team.
From the foot... The...
From the rugby team.
Uh, sure! We can do that.
It's your birthday.
And, hey, it is one way
of making sure
all the cake gets eaten.
But first, presents.
Guess what?
A new pair of rugby boots?
Huh.
Ta-da!
Oh, wow!
That's... that's
a nice pullover, Soph.
Real nice.
- It's not a "pullover."
- Oh.
And... and it's not "nice."
This is a
beautifully handcrafted
cable-knit polo-neck sweater!
Mmm...
Put it on!
Careful!
Sorry.
It's...
It's a bit tight.
Oh, I'm sure I had
the right measurements.
And quite itchy around the neck.
- Itchy?
- Yeah.
That is the finest merino wool.
Do you know how many
microns the fibers are?
No. And to be honest,
I don't... I can't...
I won't wear this. Sorry.
- Don't pull at it.
- Sorry.
Sophie, Sophie, I can't wear
this down at the pub, OK?
I'm sorry.
This isn't about the sweater.
I think we should sit and talk,
about us.
The sweater curse...
What?
N-nothing.
Um, look, I know that I've
been busy with the business
and not as here
as I could have been...
No, Soph, look, you're great.
You're amazing, OK?
This isn't about you.
This is about us.
I think we're right
in so many ways.
It's just that...
I mean, you're so
focused on all this.
It's what I do, Chris.
It's all you do, Soph.
I mean, you must be
the only person I know
that can't get ethusiastic
about rugby or...
Chris, I'm American.
I can't get enthusiastic
about the rugby.
Yeah, well, I can't
get enthusiastic
about knitting or wool.
17.7 microns.
The fibers, twice
as thick as human hair.
Let me guess:
The sweater destroyed
your relationship
and left you sad and single?
More puzzled than sad.
But single? Definitely.
What? Wait, I was joking.
You didn't really break up?
As Kyle would say, yep!
We actually broke up.
Oh! I should have stopped
you knitting that thing.
No!
If a man can get spooked
by a bit of cable knit,
he is not the man for me.
Did he tell you it wasn't you
and that you're
really, really great?
Basically.
Yeah. They always say that.
I guess I can always
sell it at the store.
Good idea! One of the last
King Family Farm creations.
Oh, sorry.
Today was not your day, huh?
Ay-ay-ay!
Don't answer it.
It'll be Chris.
Changed his mind.
They always do that as well.
Uh...
No, I'll get it.
No thanks. I already ate.
Uh...
Hi.
We were just...
Yeah, well, Ida found
this box that we missed,
and I said I'd drop it by, so...
Oh. Thank you!
Come in.
OK.
Um...
Uh, nice sweater!
Sophie made it.
But it's cursed.
Oh.
Well, I better...
Oh, hey, thank you!
Thank you!
I bet he kept
that yarn back on purpose.
Yeah, sure.
At least it wasn't Chris.
Ah!
OK, enough wallowing
for one day.
Oh, no, no, no. Rose...
Come on! Come on!
Cake and ice cream
are doing it for me.
No!
Come here!
What you doing out here, hey?
Ay-ay-ay!
There you go!
No, Mom, I don't miss the city.
But if Chris
broke up with you...
It was mutual, Mom, I think.
A-a-anyway, that's no reason
to just pack up and leave,
not after nearly
3 years of work.
Pity. An architect would be
great to have in the family.
I closed on a gem
of an apartment yesterday
that would have
been perfect for you.
All you need to do is
sell that shop and come home,
with the cash to buy something.
This is home now. LA is...
The place where you got a
degree in journalism, darling,
just by the way.
You should be
back here using it,
doing great things.
I think knitting
is a great thing.
Lots of people do,
including Glenda,
who was asking about you
again last week,
just by the way.
She was a heck
of a realtor, Glenda.
Shame she gave it up.
Uh, she didn't give it up, Mom.
She retired.
She still misses you.
You should give her a call.
Perhaps I will.
In the meantime, I have
a business to run, viewings.
Just think about
what I've said, darling, OK?
Bye, Mum.
Mom.
Mom...
- Hey...
- Wow!
Oh, uh, I was talking to my mum.
You sleep with sheep.
Yeah, it saves counting them.
Well, reporting for duty.
You're up early.
Well, you have an
enthusiastic student.
OK...
Good.
I will be ready in 10.
Hard to believe, I know, but...
No, it's fine.
I'll be waiting out front.
B-b-bye!
- Doing OK there?
- Yeah.
And then I go around...
- That's the one.
- OK.
Then out, through and in.
Yeah, that's the one. Nice!
Hey, Soph!
I'm having my lesson.
Oh, great!
Let's take a look.
It'll have to be quick, though.
Samuel's waiting.
So I'm thinking something
structurally simple,
but with some
variations in the stitch.
Yes! Good choice for starters.
That's a really
nice scarf, Lucy.
Just I'm so nervous
about making a mistake.
I'm a bit of a perfectionist.
You know, I don't worry
too much about mistakes.
I call them "design elements."
Every piece is unique.
We see mistakes,
but most people, they just see
a lovely piece of work.
I volunteer at
the Makers' Fair every year,
but I never see you there!
You're so talented. It'd be a
great place to sell your work.
I can organize a spot
for you if you like!
- Really?
- Yeah, really!
Oh, that would be amazing!
Do that! Thank you!
Ah, make it 5 free lessons.
Yeah?
Uh, I have to go.
I have some other
teaching to do.
You're fine with this, Rose?
I am the ninja
of knitting. Go.
Don't sell any more of that
King Yarn for the moment.
Where to, teach?
A good place to
rip out an undercarriage,
if we go in that thing.
He's probably been
digging for some tuatua.
Shellfish.
See, the local Iwi, the tribe,
they have fishing rights.
There are quotas for what
can be taken from the sea.
It's all about management,
self-sustainment.
Morning!
- Don't catch a cold, hey?
- OK.
Didn't Ida tell you
how Kingsvale got its name?
No.
See, all this belonged to your
family once, for generations.
It's gradually been broken down
into smaller parcels and sold,
but in many ways,
it's... it's still one.
How?
The sheep.
They're just the top layer.
Did you know there are
4 vineyards in this area?
You'd think they'd
be rivals, right?
But someone has a problem,
they all pitch in.
See, no one's gonna drive
all the way down here
just to visit one vineyard.
They want to visit
a few, go shopping.
The vintners need each other.
And the rest? You?
Well, my yarn
might attract someone
who wants to buy an antique
or some artisan loaves of bread.
And it could work
the other way around.
Kyle's bread could lead
to a sale of my yarn.
It's a micro-economy,
self-sustaining.
So, by definition,
not profitable.
Well, that depends on what
you consider profit to be.
Money, happiness,
a great life...
OK.
Seen enough?
Posterity.
You enjoy taking
photographs, huh?
Well, when I have time.
Well, we should all make time
for the things we enjoy.
Oh.
Come on!
OK.
Hey!
I have a plan:
a booth at the fair.
Fair?
It is a big deal.
Artisans and craftspeople
from all over the
region come together.
There's wine,
produce, woodworking,
crafts, clothes, everything!
I am gonna raffle
off the King Yarn,
sell as many
knitted items as I can.
I will raise the money
for that mill equipment.
That is a lot of selling.
I have some savings too.
I'm not as short
as you might think.
And, like I said, there's
a lot of support here.
Everyone will be
happy to help. You'll see.
Is everything all right?
Whoa, whoa!
Uh, not really.
I mean, you wanna hold her?
Absolutely!
- OK.
- Hey!
Him.
Oh! He is a
strong little guy!
Yeah, he... he's starving.
I heard him bleating in there,
and thought, you know...
I'm trying to tell him,
he's being bottle fed.
Well, if he's being fed,
then why is he wailing?
Uh, because they're like babies.
The kids late
for the feed again?
- Yeah.
- What kids?
Come on.
OK.
The local school
has a roster going
for orphan lambs,
bottle feeding.
It's a class project.
They have four going.
Uh, OK.
I should probably go
tend to the books.
Oh, no, no!
I have my lesson with Ida.
You can take over here.
Um... Oh.
See? Silence of the lamb.
Just a bit softer.
You need to wash it, but you
don't want to felt it together.
OK...
I am getting a whole
new appreciation
for your yarn now, Ida.
Well, it's nice to spend time
with someone who
takes an interest.
It's a pity Sam doesn't.
It's hard to see things when
your attention is channeled.
Sam's never been allowed
to chart his own course.
It's always been assumed
that he'd take over
from my brother
and run the textile business.
Well, that's where
his head seems to be.
Maybe his head
needs to be turned.
Well, it... it's a big place.
And I'm gonna need more time.
Uh, I'll be out of range
a lot of that time,
so if you want the
job done properly, Dad,
you'll have to leave
me alone to do it.
I'll be in touch when
I have some results.
Sick him, tiger!
Results?
Projections for
the next two years,
which brings me to this, Ida.
These wool grades, the finest
are the best, right?
- Right.
- Most profitable.
But we don't put
any up for export.
I mean, that's crazy.
Where do they, uh...
Oh...
Sophie, can I have a minute?
Sure. I'll let you two...
With you.
A minute with you.
Uh...
Looks like you did a good job.
Well, I'm taking
my schooling seriously.
Lamb feeding,
self-sustainment, gummies,
export...
You're wasting
your time, Sophie.
You're a business woman.
Part of running a business
is letting go of things
that aren't working.
Letting go of dreams?
Sometimes, if we have to, yeah.
But crafting the yarn here
is such a huge part of what
makes all this so special, Sam.
Your aunt knows that.
Sheep products make up
over 4% of your GDP.
Wow!
Yes, wow!
That's a major export.
If this farm doesn't
tap into that market,
it'll have to be sold.
Well, isn't that what you want?
It's not a question
of what I want.
It's what the books say.
And the books are telling me
that if we export the best wool,
then, well, we can
make a small profit.
But if we sell it at
local domestic prices...
A loss.
So, even if I
sell you the equipment,
which, believe me, my father's
gonna want market value...
I won't have the raw materials
to make the yarn.
I see.
I love that smell.
Lanolin.
Oh. OK.
OK, there.
Hey, um, I'm sorry.
Do you like it here?
Um...
Yeah, it's... it's beautiful.
It is.
Do you know, at one point,
I tried to convince myself that
I wanted to be a journalist,
but I always dreamed
of making a living
doing something that I love.
And, yeah, it's weird,
maybe, but...
I love knitting.
Well, weird's not always
such a bad thing.
So...
What was your dream?
Uh, photography, maybe?
But what?
It got replaced by
"make it big in the city"?
Well, yeah, that's what
I've always been told, yeah.
No! No one tells us
what to dream.
We choose our own dreams.
Or they sneak up on us
from behind and grab ahold.
Maybe I always was
a small-town girl,
and I just didn't know it yet.
Maybe.
Wool.
Thank you.
I can't afford
to be wooly-headed?
I've got things to do.
Do you remember what I told you,
that this is a community here?
People help each other?
Uh-huh.
There are a lot
of farms here, Sam.
A lot of those sheep
with the finest wool.
And when I see a challenge,
I don't back down.
So, just pulling the piece
like... like that?
Yeah, perfect.
Being fed in
on a conveyor belt.
And it goes through...
Good! Looking good!
There you go! There you go!
Good!
Yeah.
OK!
Yay!
Nice!
Yeah, buddy!
Whoo!
Calling it a day?
Yeah, knit group this afternoon.
Oh. Well, how's the spinning
going, Rumpelstiltskin?
Turning to gold.
You want to come?
To the knit group.
Me?
Well, I don't think I fit
the target demographic,
"Oh..."
You would be surprised
how young our crowd is.
We even have some
guys who come along.
- Really?
- Sure!
Real men don't just drive wool
bales around on mini-loaders.
Oh, and here was me thinking
that the only people
that knit were old ladies.
Excuse me! Do I look
like an old lady to you?
Oh, well, yeah...
Oh! Tread very
carefully, Mr. King.
I have needles in my car.
You... you have
knitting in your car.
Yes! Of course.
You never know when you might
want to decorate a tree
or someone's mini-loader.
You take yarn everywhere you go?
Pretty much.
OK!
Got a problem with that?
Oh, yeah, Ida gives
me that look too.
Good. You deserve it.
You know, you should update your
knitting stereotyping, Sam.
A good businessman knows
demographics shift all the time.
Huh, OK.
Well, I might have to take you
up on that offer, then,
being the good businessman I am.
All right.
What time?
4:00! And don't be late!
A stitch in time...
See you later!
"See you later!"
Is that a date?
More of a challenge, I think.
I have to learn how to knit.
Knitting, you?
Mmm...
Wow! She must
be pretty special.
Oh, wow!
Look who's here.
I invited him.
If he sees where
the wool ends up,
it might change his thinking.
Uh, so, Samuel.
Sam, ready to make
a fool of himself.
- Hi, Sam!
- Hi!
Uh, Ida let me borrow
these needles, so...
Come in! Take a seat.
Yeah.
Oh! Here you go, Sam.
Sit yourself down.
- Hello, Sam!
- Col.
Come on.
Did you bring some yarn?
Uh, yarn. Tha-that would
have been a good idea.
Might I suggest...
this.
Our finest wool,
locally produced.
You don't say!
First skein is on the house.
Uh, I will be right back.
Good luck!
Hi there!
- OK.
- Can I help you?
Right, well, do you
know how to cast on?
- No.
- Col will show you.
- Oh yeah.
- OK. Thank you.
- And around...
- OK!
- OK...
- He's getting it!
Yeah.
Great!
- Yes!
- There you are!
So, how's he doing?
- Having a ball!
- Yeah, see?
Sweet as!
He's a natural.
Yeah, hey, hey, guys,
thanks for the lesson, you know,
and... and the pastries.
- I might even come back.
- Yeah!
Oh, that's how we get them.
Always, always!
OK, I'll see you guys later.
- See you!
- See you!
- Bye!
- See you!
Hey, now, I, uh,
I don't want to brag,
but I'm kind of a genius
at this whole knitting thing.
Oh...
Hey, do you... do you
advertise these sessions?
Yeah, they're listed
on our website.
Uh, social media?
I hardly ever update it.
- Rose does!
- Ah!
Sometimes...
OK. Let's have a look.
Homespun...
Uh, wow! OK.
It's, uh, it's a bit bare bones.
Come on!
It's not that bad!
You've dropped a stitch here.
If you hadn't invited me,
I would have never
known about this group.
Your social media doesn't
show how much fun it can be.
Yeah, well, once people
meet us and find out,
they seem to come back, so...
OK, but maybe you could use
this to get more people in here.
OK, I could
update it more often.
Yeah, I mean, what you
got here is just...
Well, it's so good.
I bet we could get you
a bunch of new customers
by upping your online presence.
We?
Sorry, I'm being
presumptuous. It's...
I see a business
problem I can fix,
and I just can't help myself.
You just need more images
and some decent photographs.
OK, yeah, if you want to.
It'd be my pleasure,
Ms. Markham.
But we should do it
sooner rather than later.
OK. OK, that
would be great.
OK. I'll see you later.
Sooner.
Bye, Sam. Thanks!
No ring.
I reckon he's single.
It is just business!
Yeah, sure it is.
This is nice, you calling me.
Well, I wanted to talk
with you about the store.
Great! You're
selling the business.
Glenda can probably help.
No, Mom, not even close.
The opposite, in fact.
I want to expand
the business. I'm...
I want to buy my own
milling equipment.
Oh!
Making my own yarn
is a smart investment.
It's a way to grow
the business naturally.
See, our best-selling wool
is locally made,
but they're
stopping production, so...
You want to buy
a failing business.
It's not failing, Mom.
The owners are just
moving on to other things.
And I'm...
I'm just buying equipment.
Not many knitting shops make
their own yarn on-site, so...
Are they willing
to sell this equipment?
Yes. Yes, they are.
But I only have a week left
to raise the money.
Now, I can manage most of it,
but I think I'm gonna
come up short.
So I was wondering if...
Sophie, please don't ask me to
help you do something foolish.
I'm not.
I just thought,
you're my mother and that,
maybe, you might
want to support me.
Why do you hate
knitting so much?
I don't! That's absurd.
Mom...
Grandma told me she tried
to teach you to knit.
I tried! Finicky little
needles and knots.
Just not my thing, darling.
You're allowed to not be
good at everything, Mom.
No, I'm not.
Knitting can't possibly
have any real future
in a world of
evolving technology.
And, Sophie, I can't
help you rush headlong
into what sounds like disaster!
Has my mom always
been such a pain?
She was a scallywag as a kid.
Good fun.
When your grandma had the shop,
we spent lots of time here.
Wasn't so flash in those days,
of course, but we loved it.
We used to play tiddlywinks
with buttons on
the floor right there.
Later, when we were a bit older,
making dresses.
So, no, dear,
she wasn't always a pain.
You still miss her.
Some friendships
just won't go away.
We went into
real estate together.
And that's what took her away,
in the end.
I was sad when she went to
America, for a long time.
And then, I was very happy when
your grandma left you the shop
and you decided to take it on.
You should give her
a call, have a chat.
She'd like that.
I might just do that.
These ones too, I think.
OK!
You know, what we need to do
is find a really cool spot,
show natural products
in a natural environment.
Great!
Oh, I think I know
just the spot!
OK!
How's it going?
Chris, hi!
Good, great!
Uh, really busy. You?
Yeah, you know, all good, yeah.
The vineyard thing fell through,
but the house in Ponsonby
is still a go, so...
Hi!
Hi! Samuel, or Sam.
I'm sorry.
Chris, Sam.
We're doing a photo shoot
for my website!
Oh, right. You... you
a photographer, Sam?
For today, I am, yeah.
Right.
And...
we really need to
get this thing on the road.
Yeah. No, all good.
Hey, it was
good to see you, Soph.
Good luck with everything.
You too.
All right. I'll, um,
I'll catch you around.
Nice guy!
Ex-boyfriend?
- Ah, you got that, huh?
- Yeah.
Recently ex.
Oh, um, I'm sorry.
No, no.
No, it's fine.
Rugby versus cable knit.
Two worlds, one long story.
Short one, actually.
And I think I know
just where to shoot.
Bring that box!
Uh, OK!
Hey, what about this blue one?
Yeah, put that over there.
Oh, it's such a beautiful color!
- Put that on there.
- Yeah.
Oh, that is such
a good contrast.
Nice.
Maybe...
What else?
Hey, is this the one
Rose said you made yourself?
Labor of love.
It's going into
the Makers' Fair.
It's so soft!
- Not itchy?
- No, it's beautiful!
You know, we should get
some good shots of it.
Promote the booth,
you, this sweater.
Show people what
yarn can become.
I mean, man, this... this
really is beautiful.
Here, put it on.
What? No!
It's too big for me!
No! Even better.
Put it on.
OK...
Don't look.
No, sorry.
See?
Doesn't fit.
Uh...
Yeah, I know.
I'm terrible.
I hate having
my photograph taken.
No, you're fantastic.
It's, uh... It's me.
Yeah, sure.
That's what Chris said.
No, really. It's my framing.
I just need more practice.
You're beautiful!
I mean, you're great.
See? Great.
So, how recent was Chris?
Too recent for it to
be comfortable yet?
Yeah, he kind of looked
like he was regretting it.
Oh, I doubt that.
No, he's probably relieved.
Maybe we were never really
right for each other,
if I'm being honest.
That's a shame.
Well, it takes two to not tango.
Yeah.
What about you?
Anyone on the dance card
in New York?
Nope. Never had time.
Two left feet, I guess.
I doubt that too.
Hey, yeah!
This one is terrific.
Yeah.
They're fantastic!
Sophie's modeling.
Your shots!
Oh, I've had another idea
for the Makers' Fair.
Live sheep?
A knit-o-thon, a race,
all skill levels welcome.
Turning out a scarf.
The longest one wins.
Could be the ugliest thing ever.
That's what makes it fun.
And...
an auction, this!
We'll make more
money from it that way.
People always spend more
when they're competing
against each other.
She's getting the hang of this.
We are gonna push this
weekend's events big time
on my social media.
We?
Yeah, well,
you used the term first.
This is all
your fault, Mr. King!
These are gonna get
a whole lot of extra bodies
along to the store
and to the fair.
Sounds like we're gonna need
all the help we can get.
OK, hold it out, hold it out!
OK, hold on. Perfect!
Yeah, yeah.
- Stay... stay there!
- OK.
Yes!
Yes!
Nice! I got it.
OK, hold them out.
Nice!
Yeah, nice. I like that.
Let's go. Perfect!
There! That looks great.
Rose was right.
The promo ones are amazing too.
Yeah, well,
the camera likes you.
I mean, they're beautiful.
Looks like you
inspired Rose too.
Yeah, she's certainly
into her subject.
I really appreciate
you doing this.
Well, I told you.
I can't help myself.
You know, I'm really starting
to get this whole yarn thing.
But don't worry.
I'm not gonna open
my own store any time soon,
even though I know
you like a challenge.
Ha! A challenge?
- Yeah.
- You?
Ah, you wouldn't stand a chance!
- Which is why I'll stick
to what I know: the books.
Um...
But I'll, uh, I'll post
the ones that we... we picked out,
and then get the rest printed.
Great!
Thank you for today.
Oh! Samuel!
Your... your camera!
Hey, guys. The donations!
- Oh, wonderful!
- Amazing!
Hey, Rose, what do
you think of this?
Please...
I'll just double check.
Do we have any more of the
sapphire color out of the back?
Um, yes, but it's
another dye lot.
Look! Everyone loves it!
Are they saying they're coming
to the Makers' Fair?
See you!
How's Sophie doing?
With the lessons?
Really well.
She isn't just good at knitting.
No, she's a woman
of many talents.
You haven't reconsidered
selling the mill equipment?
No, it's still
the right decision.
Ida, if I change
the business plan,
this place will lose money.
I can't just do that
because the person that wants
to buy the machines is a friend.
Is she? Just a friend?
Hi!
Sophie!
Oh, Sophie, I completely
forgot our dying lesson.
Do you mind if we put it off?
I, um, need to
get some supplies.
- Sure.
- What supplies?
Just things.
You two stay out of trouble.
Or not!
Um...
Coffee or tea?
Sure! Some tea, please.
Wow! You have assimilated.
So, how's the social
media working out?
Great!
You know, we did 20% more
business this week
than the same week last year.
Excellent!
And the market prep?
Mmm, it's coming together.
All under control?
Well, since it's
under control...
and Ida's deserted you,
you wanna help me instead?
Sure! What were
you thinking?
Oh, just cleaning out
the water troughs,
checking on the lambing ewes.
Easy.
You got it.
Ah, you could help me!
This is heavy!
Where do you want them?
Uh, I don't know.
Oh, crap! Whoa!
- What did you do?
- Get in there!
What did you do?
Ah!
Ah!
That's, uh, great!
Oh, you could have warned me!
I was not prepared for that!
Well, hey!
I didn't see you
rushing in to help.
Oh, well, I guess
my shirt will dry.
And hey, look!
Knitted socks.
My feet are still warm.
Wet wool retains heat.
Huh. I bet you're wishing your
shirt was made from wool, huh?
Ah, like the Vikings used to.
They used to make all their
clothes out of wool
because they spent
so much time on the water.
Sometimes, their sails
were even wool too.
It's amazing stuff.
So, you're saying my
next attempt at knitting
should be sails or socks?
Hmm...
Looks like socks
might be the way to go.
Ah!
Oh, you know,
we have a blanket that
my grandmother always said
was made from the wool
of the very last sheep
that her ancestors from
way back raised in England.
And that when they
came over and settled,
they didn't bring much,
but they brought that blanket.
Aw, that's lovely!
Yeah.
Well, knitting is like that.
Heirloom jumpers, um, sweaters,
handed down through generations.
It connects people.
It... it's your creative energy
that connects the people here.
It's fantastic.
Thank you.
Your passion for
what you do is...
It's my favorite
thing about you.
You built a whole community
just off that passion.
And I wish I had that
for what I do.
Maybe you just need to
look for it somewhere else.
Uh, racing cars, perhaps.
Ah, I haven't broken
the speed limit for days.
I don't know.
It's like there's more time here
to figure out your wants,
your passions,
like a whole new pace to life.
In New York, I always feel like,
uh, I'm moving fast.
Even sitting behind a desk,
it can be relentless.
Yeah, well, sometimes,
it's good to slow down.
Helps you see what
you've been missing.
Yeah.
I'm gonna miss all this
when I go back to New York.
Well, you can't go
until after the Makers' Fair,
because otherwise,
you won't have time to
acknowledge my triumph.
OK.
Well, I'll... I'll at least
stay to do that, I promise.
Oh, you might want to...
- Sit down?
- sit down, yeah.
Yeah, OK.
Balance, Sam.
It's very important in life.
Balance.
Oh, it's fine.
It's just water!
Col...
Sam.
Oh, whoa!
Col and the gang
have been working on it
in the utility shed,
for the market.
What do you think?
Well, it's...
Isn't it wild?
Uh, I... I think you better
get your knitting project
out of your car
and give me a free
private lesson.
Uh, I mean, at least
it's still driveable.
Concentrate! Here,
bring the yarn to the front.
- Yeah.
- Put it through.
- Around...
- All right.
Purl's just the same as knit,
except the bump
ends up on the other side.
- Like that?
- Perfection.
You know, I'm gonna
finish this scarf
and donate it to your cause.
Don't get ahead of yourself!
We only have 3 days.
Hey!
You might want to reconsider
and make a coaster.
Well, you're not the only
determined one around here.
Or the most focused.
In, around, under and off.
- Yeah.
- Practice. You know what?
I think I might even keep my
knitting and needles in the car.
Stop! Truce, truce! Hey!
You're gonna pay
for that, Mr. King!
- Hey! Hey, stop!
- Here I am!
Hey, you guys gotta come
see this! There's a ewe.
She's come into the hay shed.
She's ready to lamb.
Really?
I have never seen
a lamb being born before.
Me neither.
You're gonna love this then.
Come on! It's the
circle of life!
Come on!
Whoo! The circle of life!
Col was right!
That was amazing!
Col was just great!
I'm so happy
we got to share that.
Yeah, me too.
Oh...
Are you gonna get that?
Ah! Uh, that can
go to voicemail.
My father's ringtone.
You know, kind of suits him.
He's on my case about
getting home, closing deals.
So, here's the important part.
We attended the birth,
so it is our duty to come up
with a name, right?
Uh, Wooly, 'cause sheep are...
- What...
- No, OK.
What else have you got?
Uh, Jumper, 'cause she's...
Oh, come on!
Ida did get all the
creativity in the gene pool.
Hey, that's not true!
I'm a photographer.
Oh!
You finally realized that, huh?
Good for you.
So, the lamb,
she's a girl, so...
Ba-aarbara.
- Ah!
- Obviously.
Yes! That's great!
You know what?
I think Ba-aarbara needs to come
back and join team Homespun.
Every yarn shop
needs a resident sheep.
I'm surprised you
don't have one already.
Come on! I'm focused on the
milling equipment at the moment.
Mmm...
And I should probably go.
I am late for knit group, again.
You're leading me astray.
What...
Hey, thanks for an unusual day.
Thank you.
It was amazing!
Did you know a newborn lamb
can stand up in a half hour?
I mean, I knew it, but I had
never actually seen it before.
It was so gorgeous! So cute!
Unsteady...
Kind of like Sam, really.
He's pretty special, huh?
Yeah, he is.
The... she. The lamb.
It's a girl.
Sophie, news flash!
You're falling in love
with this man.
No! I was just...
Rose, I just broke up with Chris
2 weeks ago. It's too soon.
You've been breaking up
with Chris for a long time.
And guess what?
Knitting follows
a pattern. Love doesn't.
Maybe this is exactly
the right time.
But he's so stubborn
and determined.
Hmm, like someone else I know.
And he's leaving,
in two days. No.
No, I just need to
focus on that mill.
Stubborn, determined...
Stop!
Romance can come later,
if and when.
I don't think that's quite
how these things work, Sophie.
Awesome!
Wonderful!
Lucy's a natural.
Yeah!
Yeah, see you!
Keep practicing!
OK, thank you.
Bye! Have a good day.
Bye!
Good job!
It is really impressive how far
you've come so quickly, Lucy.
If you can help
someone with knitting,
it means yours
has really improved.
You keep it up!
Soon, you're gonna be
as good as any of us,
maybe even better.
I don't know about that.
I do feel more
confident, though.
Good! Hang on
to that confidence.
We'll need it
at the Makers' Fair.
Sophie.
- Hey!
- Quick! It's important.
- What...
- Yeah.
Uh, can you manage
the store, Rose?
My pleasure!
Sam?
Sam?
I'm back!
Hold out your arms!
Guess who?
Oh!
Ba-aarbara?
Oh!
She's gorgeous!
She's so soft!
Yeah, 'cause she's all wool.
Oh, beautiful girl!
She's gorgeous!
To Ba-aarbara!
Now, Col has managed
to source us
a very special seafood delicacy.
Oh, yum!
Paua! Uh...
Oh! God, I'm sorry. That's...
- It's fine!
- It's black!
It's supposed to be!
It has the most beautiful shell.
Yeah. Here, look.
See this? It's made
out of paua shell.
Pretty, huh?
Yeah.
Oh, and it tastes
delicious! Try this!
Oh, um...
Oh! That is amazing!
And so are you.
I mean, the photos.
It really is a good idea.
Well, I do have
the occasional one.
You and Ba-aarbara,
great social media posts!
Pics with animals always get
a lot of likes and interest.
Probably need about 4 of those.
And, uh, oh...
Thanks. The shots
are great, again!
Well, hey, had a good subject.
Ba-aarbara!
Yeah, I'll pull some
prints together.
Try to post every day
leading up to the weekend.
It'll help with
the turnout at the market.
I will. Thanks, Sam.
Well, to quote Col:
"Sweet as, bro."
Hey, Chris.
Soph, I've been trying
to get ahold of you.
I know. I'm sorry.
Look, I think we made a mistake.
We?
Me, I... I made a mistake.
Can we just...
- Chris, I...
- No, no, no, Soph, please.
Just hear me out, OK?
Just give me a chance.
Thanks again for
letting us use it.
Oh, no problem.
You know, I think I might
actually leave it like that.
Hey, I'll get you
the last batch of yarn.
- You should take it with you.
- Oh, great!
Hi!
Good day, love!
It's a wee bit early, I know,
but, uh, I'm looking
for Mr. Samuel King.
Here to measure up
the fiber milling gear.
Oh, you're...
Are you gonna buy it?
Well, that's the idea.
He gave me a new price,
so I'm here to sign off.
Just need to make sure
it's in working order
and measure it for transport.
You work here?
I...
I... I used to help out
around the place.
Great!
So, uh, where can I
find Mr. King?
- Want me to take both?
- No, no, no. I can take that.
That's Mr. King,
right over there.
Thanks! Have a good day!
Hey, one minute.
Sophie! Sophie!
Hey! I can explain.
You didn't even
give me a chance!
Hey!
Sophie!
Oh! Chairs have
been picked up.
Volunteers are ready to go.
I think we're all set!
Has anyone seen Glenda?
Oh, she took off last night.
She's disappeared!
But, hey, Soph, look at
all these donations!
Great!
But it doesn't matter anymore.
There's no point!
Sam's selling the mill
to someone else.
What? He can't do that!
He can do what he likes.
He has made that
perfectly clear.
This is just business.
Soph, regardless, your friends
put so much hard work into this,
and love.
It'll still be a great
promotion for the shop, hey?
Yeah. Yeah,
you're right.
And Samuel's gone to
so much trouble for us.
Maybe it isn't what you think.
These are amazing, Ida.
You... you really are an artist.
Actually, that's not mine.
That's hers.
I really messed up, huh?
I mean, Sophie's never
gonna trust me again.
I don't know.
But what I do know is you
have to start trusting this,
like she does.
Admit it!
You've fallen in love
with this place, Sam,
just like I did.
I can see it, even if you can't.
Listen to this.
Maybe this was
your path all along.
What do I do?
An explanation is a good start.
Oh, Kyle, have you seen Sophie?
Yep!
Hey, Chris!
Nice of you to come.
I wanted to wish you good luck.
I... I was hoping maybe
we could hang out later.
What's Chris doing with Sophie?
Thought they'd split.
Guess not, hey?
No...
The Homespun knitting contest
starts on the stage in one hour.
Come see me to sign up.
I want to fix this.
I've missed you, a lot.
That's really sweet, Chris.
We are gonna have to talk later.
I have a contest to run.
With a bit of rearranging
in the stock room,
this place will fit
the milling machines
and still have room
for the knitting club.
You shouldn't have those keys.
Perks of the trade!
Changed a bit, hey?
It's normally full.
They're all at the market.
All these years...
Haberdashery, patterns,
buttons...
Tiddlywinks.
You're a very
cunning woman, Glenda.
And persuasive.
I got you on that
plane, didn't I?
Only so I can deal with
this mill foolishness.
Oh, come on, Liz!
It's a great idea!
You should be supporting her.
It's a huge risk!
I remember a certain young woman
who wanted to open
her own real estate office.
Her parents didn't
approve of that,
but she did it anyway,
and look at her now.
Sophie is just as
passionate about this place
as you are about your work.
She's more like you
than you know, Liz.
You did not enter me in this!
Oh, yes, I did!
The knitting contest
starts in one minute!
Come on!
Just relax, enjoy yourself.
Hello, everyone!
I'm Sophie Markham, the owner
of Homespun in Kingsvale!
Thank you! Today's contest
is not one of skill.
It is one of speed.
Whoever can knit the longest
scarf in an hour wins.
OK, so, as I was saying,
it doesn't have to be
the most beautiful scarf
or the most technical.
You just have to...
Mom?
What?
Ha!
What...
Uh, sorry, um...
Surprise contestant!
Ladies and gentlemen,
all the way from LA, my mom!
Uh, OK.
This is just about
using your two needles
and some of this
home-milled King Yarn
to knit the longest scarf
you possibly can.
Room for one more?
Yep!
Today's prize is very special.
King Yarn won't be
around for much longer.
I milled this batch...
the last one ever.
OK, when I say go,
you can start knitting.
Three, two...
Mom!
- Not yet, Mom.
- Oh, sorry.
One, go!
Come on, Sam!
Come on, Sam!
Come on, Liz! Let's go!
Whoo!
Come on, Liz!
You can do it!
I didn't know you had it in you.
We're into the final straight,
and the needles are flying!
We've got serious competition.
Kyle the Baker
in the home stretch.
Lucy-Goosey picking up the pace.
Christopher and
King Samuel neck and neck,
which is handy,
'cause it's a scarf.
Pride of LA is battling away.
Big Hands Col is charging down
the back straight.
But here we go!
It's over to the stewards now!
OK! Everyone, 10...
9, 8, 7,
6, 5,
4, 3, 2, 1!
Needles down!
Mom, needles down!
Uh...
Ah, Lucy!
- That's amazing!
- Thank you!
Wow!
Ten...
Ah, Mom!
All right.
Wow!
Hmm...
Um, OK, everyone,
in first place
with an impressive 22 inches,
Lucy Collins!
Congratulations! I told you!
And in second place,
the most unlikely of knitters
with probably the messiest
and ugliest piece,
my mother, Liz Markham!
See? You can knit!
Thank you for coming.
It is so good to see you.
You too, darling.
Congratulations on all this!
Thank you!
- Oh, I'll do it!
- Oh!
Oh! Ow!
And in third place,
Samuel King,
King Farm's financial advisor.
Congratulations.
The last of the yarn.
A memento.
Sophie...
Well, thank you,
everyone, for coming!
Hope to see you all at Homespun.
No speed knitting required!
Well, I'm a terrible knitter,
but it was a lot of fun.
Well, maybe you just
need more lessons.
Yeah. I... I'd like
that, more lessons.
Oh, but that's all
it would be, Chris.
I'm happy to be friends,
but that's all.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, I understand.
I just want you
to be happy, Soph.
Excuse me, Sophie.
Can we talk?
You're not gonna believe this.
Uh...
Believe what?
It's your mom.
Come and see.
She is not trying to
sell my store, is she?
I can so see her doing that!
It's gorgeous!
Your mom had the highest bid!
Oh, wow!
Thanks, Mum!
It looks great.
No, you don't get it.
She bid high.
Mum...
This is way too much!
You didn't have to.
- "Mom..."
- No, you can't!
I can and will.
Think of it as an apology.
I see the community you've
built around this business.
And what kind of
mother would I be
if I didn't help you
keep it alive?
You can repay me
in knitting lessons.
How about that?
- Thank you!
- I love you.
Love you.
This is huge.
Now you can buy the equipment!
The mill is yours.
Except you're forgetting.
Sam already sold it.
Has it gone yet, though?
Maybe you can outbid
this other buyer now.
Rose, I'm not gonna beg him!
Oh, come on!
If the immovable Liz Markham
can come around,
so can her daughter.
Just give him
a chance to explain.
Samuel...
Let's go get some air.
I would like to make
an official offer on the mill,
a higher bid, if that's needed.
- Sophie, can I just explain?
- What's to explain?
It's all about the bottom line.
I haven't sold the mill.
Yes, I lined up a buyer,
not long after I got here,
but then I got to see how deeply
Ida feels about all of this:
the... the farm, everything.
God, she loves this place.
And I... I realized
she'd do anything
to keep it in the family.
Yeah.
And then you and I started
to get to know each other.
And I could see you'd done
exactly the same thing:
fallen in love and stayed.
So, I changed my mind.
I... I don't understand.
You offered that guy
a better price!
No, I didn't.
I called him and told him
the price had gone up.
It... it's just...
I don't know.
He turned up today to try
and change my mind,
but I already knew.
The equipment,
the yarn, the last mill,
it all belongs to you.
So, I said no.
And I stole the needles
out of your car, so, uh...
So, the mill,
it's still for sale, to me?
Yeah.
OK!
This is my mother's
investment in me.
So I am going to use it
to pay for that equipment.
OK...
Partner.
Partner?
But aren't you going
back to New York?
No, I'm not.
I've kind of fallen
in love myself.
With this place, you know.
I have to get used to
the speed-limit signs
and maybe help Col
deliver a lamb or two.
What is your father gonna say
about you not going back?
I'll handle my father.
You know, I'm gonna do
what I want to do.
Right now, it's making you
some fine, fine merino wool,
17 microns.
It'll be nice to be
around you still,
even if we're just friends.
Just friends?
Yeah, well, I, uh, I saw you
with Chris before, so...
Oh, no, Sam, Chris is great.
But we're not
getting back together.
No, I need to be with
someone who gets me.
You get me.
You would do anything to
help me and the business.
You care about what I do.
It's you I want to be with.
OK.
That's good.
Because...
I finally figured
out what I want too.
You.
Hey!
Mum, this is Sam.
We are going to be
business partners.
Looks like more than that to me!
I hope you can help my daughter
make Homespun bigger
and better, then, Sam.
She deserves it.
She certainly does.
Oh! And I think
you deserve this.
It'll look much better on you.
Oh, he's a Kiwi!
It's perfect.
Sophie, I think
you just officially
ended the sweater curse.
I think you might
be right, Glenda.
Lovely!
A well-made jersey is like
a well-made loaf of bread,
both crafted with love
and each perfect in
their own particular way.
Hmm.
Biscuits?
He speaks!
- That was very eloquent, Kyle.
- Yep!
Well done!
- Oh!
- Thank you!
- Biscuit?
- Oh, nice!
Yeah.
Hi! Hey, Mum!
- Hi, darling!
- Hey!
Guys, come check these out!
So, this is where
the mill and carders
and tumblers
and tubs are gonna go.
- Sweet as!
- Stock can come in here?
Hi!
Say hello to
Homespun's newest mascot!
Ba-aarbara?
Yeah, making her debut!
She's all yours.
I don't know what to say!
Don't say a thing.
She'll be available
for special events,
photo shoots,
picnics, weddings...
And she'll live at the farm,
so you'll get to
see her every day.
You know exactly
who I am, don't you?
I do.
And you're exactly who I want.
- Aw!
- Aw!
- Good morning!
- Hey! How are you?
Hi!
Hey!
Sorry!
Morning, Soph!
Early as promised.
Stock inventory is go!
Hey, Rose!
Nice night?
Did Chris come over?
Um, no, he didn't.
He's pretty busy right now.
He has two commissions:
that new vineyard
and a house in Auckland.
And his football...
Uh-oh.
Soph, how many times?
Football, rugby.
Important.
Maybe why Chris hasn't...
Possibly.
Give him time!
Two years is time!
What's up?
This came from King Family Farm.
They're stopping production
and taking a whole bunch
of our sales with them,
just as I'm looking
to expand the business.
But nobody makes yarn like Ida.
Why would she close the mill?
Sheep uprising?
I'm gonna get to
the bottom of this.
Can you do the inventory
while I do some digging?
- No worries, boss.
- Thank you.
- I'll be back.
- OK!
Well, you can quit
worrying, Dad. I'm here.
Yeah, well, I would
have called earlier,
but I had to get a new SIM card
for my cell, and...
Well, yeah, yeah, I can...
Sure, I can do that.
I'll be more...
Uh, I... I'll be more expeditious.
I can be as expeditious
as possible. Sure.
Hey, say hi to Mo...
Have a biscuit...
home-made.
Thanks, Aunt Ida.
Just Ida'll do.
My brother giving you
a hard time?
Well, he's worried about me
driving on the wrong side
of the road.
And getting things
done quickly, hey?
There was an element
of that, yeah.
Well, I've got the books
ready for you in the office.
And when you want to have
a look around this place,
there's gummies on the veranda.
- Gumboots, for your feet.
- Oh.
And you need to change
out of that gear too.
It's muddy out there.
Any jeans?
Yeah, I... I came prepared.
Great coffee!
Locally roasted.
They tried to grow beans in
the Coromandel, north-east.
So, Ida, are...
are you OK with this?
Personally, sure.
Fits in with my plans.
But...
But selling off entirely?
I think that would
be a shame, Sam.
Don't let Dad hear you say that.
I have. I told him
on the phone, at length.
At least do an audit!
Which is why I'm here.
But King Enterprises
has outgrown it,
and, well, Dad had
pretty much forgotten
the... the farm was
still on the books.
"There is no room for
sentiment in business." Yeah.
That's actually
scarily accurate.
Yeah.
That's what your father thinks.
What do you think
about selling off?
This is where the whole
business started!
History, Sam!
Yeah, I... I can see that.
It's just history versus future.
Put that to my father,
and no contest.
Ah! Come on!
You might want to
sit down to do that.
Uh, you might be right.
Oh! Yeah.
Here, this pair
might be a better fit.
Um, thanks.
You know, I'm... I'm new to this.
Really?
Never would have known.
Your car?
Rental, yeah.
I'm from the States.
Like you, huh?
What's a fellow American
doing way down here?
Escaping LA.
Ah! Well, now,
that I can understand.
I'm not, like,
a big fan of LA myself.
East Coast, born and bred.
New York.
Ah! So, not liking LA would
be mandatory, of course.
Oh, absolutely!
I mean, poor you.
You had to grow up there, huh?
Hey, I managed to
survive the sunshine.
So, New Zealand...
Yeah, my mom is a Kiwi.
She met my dad in
the States and stayed.
I'm here because
of my grandma, really.
Small inheritance.
I came to find out about it,
and 3 years later...
Escapee from
the West Coast life.
Nice work!
Well, turns out I'm
a country girl at heart.
You don't miss home?
Oh, I miss Mom.
But...
this is home now.
And you have me calling
her "Mom" already.
- No, I call her "Mum" now.
- Oh.
I picked up her
old accent, she says.
Hey, hi!
I am Sophie.
Nice to meet you,
Sophie! I'm Samuel.
Uh, King.
Oh. I hope you're not
the reason I'm here.
- Are you?
- Uh...
- Sophie!
- Hi!
- What a nice surprise!
- Hi!
I see you've met my nephew.
Sophie sells our yarn
in her shop, Sam.
Oh.
I'm supposed to have
an order for Sophie,
but I'm sorry, love,
it's still drying.
Tomorrow, I promise.
Uh, no, that's fine.
It's just...
I'm here because I... I
got your letter, Ida.
I have to say,
I'm so disappointed!
I just can't understand why
you'd be stopping production.
It's not just the yarn, love.
It might be the whole shebang!
Which is why I'm here,
to see if King Enterprises
should sell.
Right, I see.
So, you are the reason I'm here.
What about you, Ida?
Either way, I'll go.
I've been invited to Mosgiel
to teach weaving and wool dying.
Mentoring a whole lot
of young talent!
Wow, that's great!
I am so happy for you!
Ah, but their gain is our loss.
Ida's yarn is our best-seller.
Local product from
a great local artist.
Thank you, Sophie.
Thanks for letting us
know so promptly, Ida.
Expeditious.
Runs in the family.
Mmm...
Speedy, you mean.
The speed limit in town
is 50 kilometers, Mr. King.
Wow! That was you.
I am... I'm so sorry.
Unfamiliar car,
wrong side of the road.
And your speed limit signs
have me so confused.
I mean, I was...
Being overly expeditious, yeah?
Oh...
Good luck with
the audit, Mr. King.
Bye!
Oh!
Hey! Take off those gummies!
You are out of control!
I mean, does all
this yarn really need
to be in rainbow-betical order?
I want it to look
as beautiful as possible.
It's incredible stuff!
And can you believe
Ida makes it all herself?
The customers are gonna be so
disappointed when it's gone.
Maybe they don't have to be.
Disappointed, I mean.
Maybe we don't
have to lose the yarn.
Here we go!
Glenda, Kyle...
Last of the yarn?
What's that about?
- Well, I think it's a shame.
- It is. It's a huge shame.
But Sophie's got
a plan, I think.
Formulating one.
If Ida can turn out
all this yarn by herself,
maybe we can too.
It's worth exploring.
If I'm gonna build the business,
it's probably
more than worth it.
Yep!
You've made your shop the
heart of this place, Sophie.
And the bigger
that heart, the better!
Hi there!
Can I help you?
Hi! Um, I'm Lucy.
I was wanting to join
the knitting group,
if you're still
accepting people.
Oh! There's no accepting.
People just turn up!
Come through, take a seat.
I'm Sophie. You'll get
to know everybody else.
There's tea, coffee and
pastries, courtesy of Kyle.
Kyle is our resident baker.
You sit here by me.
I'm Glenda.
Make yourself comfy.
Wow! That's a lot of baking!
Yeah.
Kyle starts
baking at 4:00 a.m.
He starts knitting
straight after.
He's got his priorities right.
Yeah.
Hi, Lucy! I'm Rose.
Eat those. Save me from myself.
Oh, you... you're
nearly done, Soph.
I honestly didn't think
you'd finish in time.
It's for Chris, her boyfriend.
Oh.
It's his birthday tomorrow.
Kyle's gonna bake him a cake.
- Right, Kyle?
- Yep!
It's beautiful.
Maybe I should make
a sweater for my boyfriend.
Oh, I wouldn't do
that if I were you.
Don't listen to her, Lucy.
"The sweater curse..."
It's ridiculous.
Ridiculous?
Young lady, there is nothing
in the knitting universe
more powerful than
the sweater curse.
Some people believe
if you knit a sweater for your
partner before you're married,
they'll leave you.
It happened to me! Twice.
And I'm not the only one.
I hadn't even finished
the jumper for my boyfriend
when he emailed to break up.
Who emails to break up?
Especially when you can text.
- Oh!
- Sorry.
What about you and
the sweater curse, Kyle?
He doesn't like
to talk about it.
You knit whatever
you like, Lucy.
We can even get you
started if you want.
We do one-on-one lessons.
The first two are free.
And it is just
a dumb superstition.
I suppose we'll find out
when Chris gets his sweater,
then, won't we?
Ooh!
What color can I start you with?
- I like that one.
- Perfect!
- Want me to take them both?
- No, I'll take one.
Is that the audit guy
you were telling me about?
Mr. Numbers, yeah.
You also failed to mention
he's Mr. Dreamy.
He is one of the reasons
we won't have Ida's yarns,
so don't you go being
too nice to the guy.
But I always try
to be nice, Soph.
Hi!
"Rest of the yarn tomorrow,"
which is today, as promised.
Oh, thank you for
delivering it, Ida.
So, you're Samuel.
Rose.
Pleasure.
Hi.
In the stock room
for now, please, Rose.
Rose?
May I?
Yeah, sure.
Come in.
Huh! It's nice in here.
To be honest, I've never been
inside a knitting store before.
Really? What, you buy your
silk/cashmere online then, huh?
Department store.
Different vibe.
This place has a nice one.
I hope making it bigger
is the right move, then.
I have a proposition.
If the milling equipment
is not going with you, Ida,
I'd like to buy it.
Oh, I'm not taking it.
I'll be all set up there.
But, I mean,
the equipment, it's...
Part of the assets, which has
to get sold at market price.
Might just be
a tad over your budget.
And how do you know that?
Well, sorry, I don't
mean to be rude.
It's just...
It's really expensive machinery
and tough to operate too.
I imagine it is.
Ida, when do you leave?
Two weeks.
The boys can bring the city
bloke up to speed on the farm,
but I need to show him the area
first, the local economy.
How about a quid pro quo?
Ida, you teach me how to
make and dye the yarns,
and I show Sam how things
work around Kingsvale.
Well, I think it's a great idea.
Sophie really knows
the area and all the locals.
She'd be a great tour guide!
And if you can tell me
what the budget is,
it'll give me two weeks to
make sure I can manage it.
Sound like a deal?
Well, I'm supposed to
have this all wrapped up
inside a week, but...
I guess I can
buy you a little time.
- Deal.
- Deal.
Soph, hey!
Happy birthday!
I come bearing gifts.
A late-harvest Riesling from
Mike Barnes' Cellar Door.
He says happy birthday.
Oh, that's nice!
It should go nicely
with Kyle's contribution.
I was thinking we
could have a night in.
Some wine, some cake...
I was actually thinking
we'd go down to the pub
and have a beer
with the boys from the team.
From the foot... The...
From the rugby team.
Uh, sure! We can do that.
It's your birthday.
And, hey, it is one way
of making sure
all the cake gets eaten.
But first, presents.
Guess what?
A new pair of rugby boots?
Huh.
Ta-da!
Oh, wow!
That's... that's
a nice pullover, Soph.
Real nice.
- It's not a "pullover."
- Oh.
And... and it's not "nice."
This is a
beautifully handcrafted
cable-knit polo-neck sweater!
Mmm...
Put it on!
Careful!
Sorry.
It's...
It's a bit tight.
Oh, I'm sure I had
the right measurements.
And quite itchy around the neck.
- Itchy?
- Yeah.
That is the finest merino wool.
Do you know how many
microns the fibers are?
No. And to be honest,
I don't... I can't...
I won't wear this. Sorry.
- Don't pull at it.
- Sorry.
Sophie, Sophie, I can't wear
this down at the pub, OK?
I'm sorry.
This isn't about the sweater.
I think we should sit and talk,
about us.
The sweater curse...
What?
N-nothing.
Um, look, I know that I've
been busy with the business
and not as here
as I could have been...
No, Soph, look, you're great.
You're amazing, OK?
This isn't about you.
This is about us.
I think we're right
in so many ways.
It's just that...
I mean, you're so
focused on all this.
It's what I do, Chris.
It's all you do, Soph.
I mean, you must be
the only person I know
that can't get ethusiastic
about rugby or...
Chris, I'm American.
I can't get enthusiastic
about the rugby.
Yeah, well, I can't
get enthusiastic
about knitting or wool.
17.7 microns.
The fibers, twice
as thick as human hair.
Let me guess:
The sweater destroyed
your relationship
and left you sad and single?
More puzzled than sad.
But single? Definitely.
What? Wait, I was joking.
You didn't really break up?
As Kyle would say, yep!
We actually broke up.
Oh! I should have stopped
you knitting that thing.
No!
If a man can get spooked
by a bit of cable knit,
he is not the man for me.
Did he tell you it wasn't you
and that you're
really, really great?
Basically.
Yeah. They always say that.
I guess I can always
sell it at the store.
Good idea! One of the last
King Family Farm creations.
Oh, sorry.
Today was not your day, huh?
Ay-ay-ay!
Don't answer it.
It'll be Chris.
Changed his mind.
They always do that as well.
Uh...
No, I'll get it.
No thanks. I already ate.
Uh...
Hi.
We were just...
Yeah, well, Ida found
this box that we missed,
and I said I'd drop it by, so...
Oh. Thank you!
Come in.
OK.
Um...
Uh, nice sweater!
Sophie made it.
But it's cursed.
Oh.
Well, I better...
Oh, hey, thank you!
Thank you!
I bet he kept
that yarn back on purpose.
Yeah, sure.
At least it wasn't Chris.
Ah!
OK, enough wallowing
for one day.
Oh, no, no, no. Rose...
Come on! Come on!
Cake and ice cream
are doing it for me.
No!
Come here!
What you doing out here, hey?
Ay-ay-ay!
There you go!
No, Mom, I don't miss the city.
But if Chris
broke up with you...
It was mutual, Mom, I think.
A-a-anyway, that's no reason
to just pack up and leave,
not after nearly
3 years of work.
Pity. An architect would be
great to have in the family.
I closed on a gem
of an apartment yesterday
that would have
been perfect for you.
All you need to do is
sell that shop and come home,
with the cash to buy something.
This is home now. LA is...
The place where you got a
degree in journalism, darling,
just by the way.
You should be
back here using it,
doing great things.
I think knitting
is a great thing.
Lots of people do,
including Glenda,
who was asking about you
again last week,
just by the way.
She was a heck
of a realtor, Glenda.
Shame she gave it up.
Uh, she didn't give it up, Mom.
She retired.
She still misses you.
You should give her a call.
Perhaps I will.
In the meantime, I have
a business to run, viewings.
Just think about
what I've said, darling, OK?
Bye, Mum.
Mom.
Mom...
- Hey...
- Wow!
Oh, uh, I was talking to my mum.
You sleep with sheep.
Yeah, it saves counting them.
Well, reporting for duty.
You're up early.
Well, you have an
enthusiastic student.
OK...
Good.
I will be ready in 10.
Hard to believe, I know, but...
No, it's fine.
I'll be waiting out front.
B-b-bye!
- Doing OK there?
- Yeah.
And then I go around...
- That's the one.
- OK.
Then out, through and in.
Yeah, that's the one. Nice!
Hey, Soph!
I'm having my lesson.
Oh, great!
Let's take a look.
It'll have to be quick, though.
Samuel's waiting.
So I'm thinking something
structurally simple,
but with some
variations in the stitch.
Yes! Good choice for starters.
That's a really
nice scarf, Lucy.
Just I'm so nervous
about making a mistake.
I'm a bit of a perfectionist.
You know, I don't worry
too much about mistakes.
I call them "design elements."
Every piece is unique.
We see mistakes,
but most people, they just see
a lovely piece of work.
I volunteer at
the Makers' Fair every year,
but I never see you there!
You're so talented. It'd be a
great place to sell your work.
I can organize a spot
for you if you like!
- Really?
- Yeah, really!
Oh, that would be amazing!
Do that! Thank you!
Ah, make it 5 free lessons.
Yeah?
Uh, I have to go.
I have some other
teaching to do.
You're fine with this, Rose?
I am the ninja
of knitting. Go.
Don't sell any more of that
King Yarn for the moment.
Where to, teach?
A good place to
rip out an undercarriage,
if we go in that thing.
He's probably been
digging for some tuatua.
Shellfish.
See, the local Iwi, the tribe,
they have fishing rights.
There are quotas for what
can be taken from the sea.
It's all about management,
self-sustainment.
Morning!
- Don't catch a cold, hey?
- OK.
Didn't Ida tell you
how Kingsvale got its name?
No.
See, all this belonged to your
family once, for generations.
It's gradually been broken down
into smaller parcels and sold,
but in many ways,
it's... it's still one.
How?
The sheep.
They're just the top layer.
Did you know there are
4 vineyards in this area?
You'd think they'd
be rivals, right?
But someone has a problem,
they all pitch in.
See, no one's gonna drive
all the way down here
just to visit one vineyard.
They want to visit
a few, go shopping.
The vintners need each other.
And the rest? You?
Well, my yarn
might attract someone
who wants to buy an antique
or some artisan loaves of bread.
And it could work
the other way around.
Kyle's bread could lead
to a sale of my yarn.
It's a micro-economy,
self-sustaining.
So, by definition,
not profitable.
Well, that depends on what
you consider profit to be.
Money, happiness,
a great life...
OK.
Seen enough?
Posterity.
You enjoy taking
photographs, huh?
Well, when I have time.
Well, we should all make time
for the things we enjoy.
Oh.
Come on!
OK.
Hey!
I have a plan:
a booth at the fair.
Fair?
It is a big deal.
Artisans and craftspeople
from all over the
region come together.
There's wine,
produce, woodworking,
crafts, clothes, everything!
I am gonna raffle
off the King Yarn,
sell as many
knitted items as I can.
I will raise the money
for that mill equipment.
That is a lot of selling.
I have some savings too.
I'm not as short
as you might think.
And, like I said, there's
a lot of support here.
Everyone will be
happy to help. You'll see.
Is everything all right?
Whoa, whoa!
Uh, not really.
I mean, you wanna hold her?
Absolutely!
- OK.
- Hey!
Him.
Oh! He is a
strong little guy!
Yeah, he... he's starving.
I heard him bleating in there,
and thought, you know...
I'm trying to tell him,
he's being bottle fed.
Well, if he's being fed,
then why is he wailing?
Uh, because they're like babies.
The kids late
for the feed again?
- Yeah.
- What kids?
Come on.
OK.
The local school
has a roster going
for orphan lambs,
bottle feeding.
It's a class project.
They have four going.
Uh, OK.
I should probably go
tend to the books.
Oh, no, no!
I have my lesson with Ida.
You can take over here.
Um... Oh.
See? Silence of the lamb.
Just a bit softer.
You need to wash it, but you
don't want to felt it together.
OK...
I am getting a whole
new appreciation
for your yarn now, Ida.
Well, it's nice to spend time
with someone who
takes an interest.
It's a pity Sam doesn't.
It's hard to see things when
your attention is channeled.
Sam's never been allowed
to chart his own course.
It's always been assumed
that he'd take over
from my brother
and run the textile business.
Well, that's where
his head seems to be.
Maybe his head
needs to be turned.
Well, it... it's a big place.
And I'm gonna need more time.
Uh, I'll be out of range
a lot of that time,
so if you want the
job done properly, Dad,
you'll have to leave
me alone to do it.
I'll be in touch when
I have some results.
Sick him, tiger!
Results?
Projections for
the next two years,
which brings me to this, Ida.
These wool grades, the finest
are the best, right?
- Right.
- Most profitable.
But we don't put
any up for export.
I mean, that's crazy.
Where do they, uh...
Oh...
Sophie, can I have a minute?
Sure. I'll let you two...
With you.
A minute with you.
Uh...
Looks like you did a good job.
Well, I'm taking
my schooling seriously.
Lamb feeding,
self-sustainment, gummies,
export...
You're wasting
your time, Sophie.
You're a business woman.
Part of running a business
is letting go of things
that aren't working.
Letting go of dreams?
Sometimes, if we have to, yeah.
But crafting the yarn here
is such a huge part of what
makes all this so special, Sam.
Your aunt knows that.
Sheep products make up
over 4% of your GDP.
Wow!
Yes, wow!
That's a major export.
If this farm doesn't
tap into that market,
it'll have to be sold.
Well, isn't that what you want?
It's not a question
of what I want.
It's what the books say.
And the books are telling me
that if we export the best wool,
then, well, we can
make a small profit.
But if we sell it at
local domestic prices...
A loss.
So, even if I
sell you the equipment,
which, believe me, my father's
gonna want market value...
I won't have the raw materials
to make the yarn.
I see.
I love that smell.
Lanolin.
Oh. OK.
OK, there.
Hey, um, I'm sorry.
Do you like it here?
Um...
Yeah, it's... it's beautiful.
It is.
Do you know, at one point,
I tried to convince myself that
I wanted to be a journalist,
but I always dreamed
of making a living
doing something that I love.
And, yeah, it's weird,
maybe, but...
I love knitting.
Well, weird's not always
such a bad thing.
So...
What was your dream?
Uh, photography, maybe?
But what?
It got replaced by
"make it big in the city"?
Well, yeah, that's what
I've always been told, yeah.
No! No one tells us
what to dream.
We choose our own dreams.
Or they sneak up on us
from behind and grab ahold.
Maybe I always was
a small-town girl,
and I just didn't know it yet.
Maybe.
Wool.
Thank you.
I can't afford
to be wooly-headed?
I've got things to do.
Do you remember what I told you,
that this is a community here?
People help each other?
Uh-huh.
There are a lot
of farms here, Sam.
A lot of those sheep
with the finest wool.
And when I see a challenge,
I don't back down.
So, just pulling the piece
like... like that?
Yeah, perfect.
Being fed in
on a conveyor belt.
And it goes through...
Good! Looking good!
There you go! There you go!
Good!
Yeah.
OK!
Yay!
Nice!
Yeah, buddy!
Whoo!
Calling it a day?
Yeah, knit group this afternoon.
Oh. Well, how's the spinning
going, Rumpelstiltskin?
Turning to gold.
You want to come?
To the knit group.
Me?
Well, I don't think I fit
the target demographic,
"Oh..."
You would be surprised
how young our crowd is.
We even have some
guys who come along.
- Really?
- Sure!
Real men don't just drive wool
bales around on mini-loaders.
Oh, and here was me thinking
that the only people
that knit were old ladies.
Excuse me! Do I look
like an old lady to you?
Oh, well, yeah...
Oh! Tread very
carefully, Mr. King.
I have needles in my car.
You... you have
knitting in your car.
Yes! Of course.
You never know when you might
want to decorate a tree
or someone's mini-loader.
You take yarn everywhere you go?
Pretty much.
OK!
Got a problem with that?
Oh, yeah, Ida gives
me that look too.
Good. You deserve it.
You know, you should update your
knitting stereotyping, Sam.
A good businessman knows
demographics shift all the time.
Huh, OK.
Well, I might have to take you
up on that offer, then,
being the good businessman I am.
All right.
What time?
4:00! And don't be late!
A stitch in time...
See you later!
"See you later!"
Is that a date?
More of a challenge, I think.
I have to learn how to knit.
Knitting, you?
Mmm...
Wow! She must
be pretty special.
Oh, wow!
Look who's here.
I invited him.
If he sees where
the wool ends up,
it might change his thinking.
Uh, so, Samuel.
Sam, ready to make
a fool of himself.
- Hi, Sam!
- Hi!
Uh, Ida let me borrow
these needles, so...
Come in! Take a seat.
Yeah.
Oh! Here you go, Sam.
Sit yourself down.
- Hello, Sam!
- Col.
Come on.
Did you bring some yarn?
Uh, yarn. Tha-that would
have been a good idea.
Might I suggest...
this.
Our finest wool,
locally produced.
You don't say!
First skein is on the house.
Uh, I will be right back.
Good luck!
Hi there!
- OK.
- Can I help you?
Right, well, do you
know how to cast on?
- No.
- Col will show you.
- Oh yeah.
- OK. Thank you.
- And around...
- OK!
- OK...
- He's getting it!
Yeah.
Great!
- Yes!
- There you are!
So, how's he doing?
- Having a ball!
- Yeah, see?
Sweet as!
He's a natural.
Yeah, hey, hey, guys,
thanks for the lesson, you know,
and... and the pastries.
- I might even come back.
- Yeah!
Oh, that's how we get them.
Always, always!
OK, I'll see you guys later.
- See you!
- See you!
- Bye!
- See you!
Hey, now, I, uh,
I don't want to brag,
but I'm kind of a genius
at this whole knitting thing.
Oh...
Hey, do you... do you
advertise these sessions?
Yeah, they're listed
on our website.
Uh, social media?
I hardly ever update it.
- Rose does!
- Ah!
Sometimes...
OK. Let's have a look.
Homespun...
Uh, wow! OK.
It's, uh, it's a bit bare bones.
Come on!
It's not that bad!
You've dropped a stitch here.
If you hadn't invited me,
I would have never
known about this group.
Your social media doesn't
show how much fun it can be.
Yeah, well, once people
meet us and find out,
they seem to come back, so...
OK, but maybe you could use
this to get more people in here.
OK, I could
update it more often.
Yeah, I mean, what you
got here is just...
Well, it's so good.
I bet we could get you
a bunch of new customers
by upping your online presence.
We?
Sorry, I'm being
presumptuous. It's...
I see a business
problem I can fix,
and I just can't help myself.
You just need more images
and some decent photographs.
OK, yeah, if you want to.
It'd be my pleasure,
Ms. Markham.
But we should do it
sooner rather than later.
OK. OK, that
would be great.
OK. I'll see you later.
Sooner.
Bye, Sam. Thanks!
No ring.
I reckon he's single.
It is just business!
Yeah, sure it is.
This is nice, you calling me.
Well, I wanted to talk
with you about the store.
Great! You're
selling the business.
Glenda can probably help.
No, Mom, not even close.
The opposite, in fact.
I want to expand
the business. I'm...
I want to buy my own
milling equipment.
Oh!
Making my own yarn
is a smart investment.
It's a way to grow
the business naturally.
See, our best-selling wool
is locally made,
but they're
stopping production, so...
You want to buy
a failing business.
It's not failing, Mom.
The owners are just
moving on to other things.
And I'm...
I'm just buying equipment.
Not many knitting shops make
their own yarn on-site, so...
Are they willing
to sell this equipment?
Yes. Yes, they are.
But I only have a week left
to raise the money.
Now, I can manage most of it,
but I think I'm gonna
come up short.
So I was wondering if...
Sophie, please don't ask me to
help you do something foolish.
I'm not.
I just thought,
you're my mother and that,
maybe, you might
want to support me.
Why do you hate
knitting so much?
I don't! That's absurd.
Mom...
Grandma told me she tried
to teach you to knit.
I tried! Finicky little
needles and knots.
Just not my thing, darling.
You're allowed to not be
good at everything, Mom.
No, I'm not.
Knitting can't possibly
have any real future
in a world of
evolving technology.
And, Sophie, I can't
help you rush headlong
into what sounds like disaster!
Has my mom always
been such a pain?
She was a scallywag as a kid.
Good fun.
When your grandma had the shop,
we spent lots of time here.
Wasn't so flash in those days,
of course, but we loved it.
We used to play tiddlywinks
with buttons on
the floor right there.
Later, when we were a bit older,
making dresses.
So, no, dear,
she wasn't always a pain.
You still miss her.
Some friendships
just won't go away.
We went into
real estate together.
And that's what took her away,
in the end.
I was sad when she went to
America, for a long time.
And then, I was very happy when
your grandma left you the shop
and you decided to take it on.
You should give her
a call, have a chat.
She'd like that.
I might just do that.
These ones too, I think.
OK!
You know, what we need to do
is find a really cool spot,
show natural products
in a natural environment.
Great!
Oh, I think I know
just the spot!
OK!
How's it going?
Chris, hi!
Good, great!
Uh, really busy. You?
Yeah, you know, all good, yeah.
The vineyard thing fell through,
but the house in Ponsonby
is still a go, so...
Hi!
Hi! Samuel, or Sam.
I'm sorry.
Chris, Sam.
We're doing a photo shoot
for my website!
Oh, right. You... you
a photographer, Sam?
For today, I am, yeah.
Right.
And...
we really need to
get this thing on the road.
Yeah. No, all good.
Hey, it was
good to see you, Soph.
Good luck with everything.
You too.
All right. I'll, um,
I'll catch you around.
Nice guy!
Ex-boyfriend?
- Ah, you got that, huh?
- Yeah.
Recently ex.
Oh, um, I'm sorry.
No, no.
No, it's fine.
Rugby versus cable knit.
Two worlds, one long story.
Short one, actually.
And I think I know
just where to shoot.
Bring that box!
Uh, OK!
Hey, what about this blue one?
Yeah, put that over there.
Oh, it's such a beautiful color!
- Put that on there.
- Yeah.
Oh, that is such
a good contrast.
Nice.
Maybe...
What else?
Hey, is this the one
Rose said you made yourself?
Labor of love.
It's going into
the Makers' Fair.
It's so soft!
- Not itchy?
- No, it's beautiful!
You know, we should get
some good shots of it.
Promote the booth,
you, this sweater.
Show people what
yarn can become.
I mean, man, this... this
really is beautiful.
Here, put it on.
What? No!
It's too big for me!
No! Even better.
Put it on.
OK...
Don't look.
No, sorry.
See?
Doesn't fit.
Uh...
Yeah, I know.
I'm terrible.
I hate having
my photograph taken.
No, you're fantastic.
It's, uh... It's me.
Yeah, sure.
That's what Chris said.
No, really. It's my framing.
I just need more practice.
You're beautiful!
I mean, you're great.
See? Great.
So, how recent was Chris?
Too recent for it to
be comfortable yet?
Yeah, he kind of looked
like he was regretting it.
Oh, I doubt that.
No, he's probably relieved.
Maybe we were never really
right for each other,
if I'm being honest.
That's a shame.
Well, it takes two to not tango.
Yeah.
What about you?
Anyone on the dance card
in New York?
Nope. Never had time.
Two left feet, I guess.
I doubt that too.
Hey, yeah!
This one is terrific.
Yeah.
They're fantastic!
Sophie's modeling.
Your shots!
Oh, I've had another idea
for the Makers' Fair.
Live sheep?
A knit-o-thon, a race,
all skill levels welcome.
Turning out a scarf.
The longest one wins.
Could be the ugliest thing ever.
That's what makes it fun.
And...
an auction, this!
We'll make more
money from it that way.
People always spend more
when they're competing
against each other.
She's getting the hang of this.
We are gonna push this
weekend's events big time
on my social media.
We?
Yeah, well,
you used the term first.
This is all
your fault, Mr. King!
These are gonna get
a whole lot of extra bodies
along to the store
and to the fair.
Sounds like we're gonna need
all the help we can get.
OK, hold it out, hold it out!
OK, hold on. Perfect!
Yeah, yeah.
- Stay... stay there!
- OK.
Yes!
Yes!
Nice! I got it.
OK, hold them out.
Nice!
Yeah, nice. I like that.
Let's go. Perfect!
There! That looks great.
Rose was right.
The promo ones are amazing too.
Yeah, well,
the camera likes you.
I mean, they're beautiful.
Looks like you
inspired Rose too.
Yeah, she's certainly
into her subject.
I really appreciate
you doing this.
Well, I told you.
I can't help myself.
You know, I'm really starting
to get this whole yarn thing.
But don't worry.
I'm not gonna open
my own store any time soon,
even though I know
you like a challenge.
Ha! A challenge?
- Yeah.
- You?
Ah, you wouldn't stand a chance!
- Which is why I'll stick
to what I know: the books.
Um...
But I'll, uh, I'll post
the ones that we... we picked out,
and then get the rest printed.
Great!
Thank you for today.
Oh! Samuel!
Your... your camera!
Hey, guys. The donations!
- Oh, wonderful!
- Amazing!
Hey, Rose, what do
you think of this?
Please...
I'll just double check.
Do we have any more of the
sapphire color out of the back?
Um, yes, but it's
another dye lot.
Look! Everyone loves it!
Are they saying they're coming
to the Makers' Fair?
See you!
How's Sophie doing?
With the lessons?
Really well.
She isn't just good at knitting.
No, she's a woman
of many talents.
You haven't reconsidered
selling the mill equipment?
No, it's still
the right decision.
Ida, if I change
the business plan,
this place will lose money.
I can't just do that
because the person that wants
to buy the machines is a friend.
Is she? Just a friend?
Hi!
Sophie!
Oh, Sophie, I completely
forgot our dying lesson.
Do you mind if we put it off?
I, um, need to
get some supplies.
- Sure.
- What supplies?
Just things.
You two stay out of trouble.
Or not!
Um...
Coffee or tea?
Sure! Some tea, please.
Wow! You have assimilated.
So, how's the social
media working out?
Great!
You know, we did 20% more
business this week
than the same week last year.
Excellent!
And the market prep?
Mmm, it's coming together.
All under control?
Well, since it's
under control...
and Ida's deserted you,
you wanna help me instead?
Sure! What were
you thinking?
Oh, just cleaning out
the water troughs,
checking on the lambing ewes.
Easy.
You got it.
Ah, you could help me!
This is heavy!
Where do you want them?
Uh, I don't know.
Oh, crap! Whoa!
- What did you do?
- Get in there!
What did you do?
Ah!
Ah!
That's, uh, great!
Oh, you could have warned me!
I was not prepared for that!
Well, hey!
I didn't see you
rushing in to help.
Oh, well, I guess
my shirt will dry.
And hey, look!
Knitted socks.
My feet are still warm.
Wet wool retains heat.
Huh. I bet you're wishing your
shirt was made from wool, huh?
Ah, like the Vikings used to.
They used to make all their
clothes out of wool
because they spent
so much time on the water.
Sometimes, their sails
were even wool too.
It's amazing stuff.
So, you're saying my
next attempt at knitting
should be sails or socks?
Hmm...
Looks like socks
might be the way to go.
Ah!
Oh, you know,
we have a blanket that
my grandmother always said
was made from the wool
of the very last sheep
that her ancestors from
way back raised in England.
And that when they
came over and settled,
they didn't bring much,
but they brought that blanket.
Aw, that's lovely!
Yeah.
Well, knitting is like that.
Heirloom jumpers, um, sweaters,
handed down through generations.
It connects people.
It... it's your creative energy
that connects the people here.
It's fantastic.
Thank you.
Your passion for
what you do is...
It's my favorite
thing about you.
You built a whole community
just off that passion.
And I wish I had that
for what I do.
Maybe you just need to
look for it somewhere else.
Uh, racing cars, perhaps.
Ah, I haven't broken
the speed limit for days.
I don't know.
It's like there's more time here
to figure out your wants,
your passions,
like a whole new pace to life.
In New York, I always feel like,
uh, I'm moving fast.
Even sitting behind a desk,
it can be relentless.
Yeah, well, sometimes,
it's good to slow down.
Helps you see what
you've been missing.
Yeah.
I'm gonna miss all this
when I go back to New York.
Well, you can't go
until after the Makers' Fair,
because otherwise,
you won't have time to
acknowledge my triumph.
OK.
Well, I'll... I'll at least
stay to do that, I promise.
Oh, you might want to...
- Sit down?
- sit down, yeah.
Yeah, OK.
Balance, Sam.
It's very important in life.
Balance.
Oh, it's fine.
It's just water!
Col...
Sam.
Oh, whoa!
Col and the gang
have been working on it
in the utility shed,
for the market.
What do you think?
Well, it's...
Isn't it wild?
Uh, I... I think you better
get your knitting project
out of your car
and give me a free
private lesson.
Uh, I mean, at least
it's still driveable.
Concentrate! Here,
bring the yarn to the front.
- Yeah.
- Put it through.
- Around...
- All right.
Purl's just the same as knit,
except the bump
ends up on the other side.
- Like that?
- Perfection.
You know, I'm gonna
finish this scarf
and donate it to your cause.
Don't get ahead of yourself!
We only have 3 days.
Hey!
You might want to reconsider
and make a coaster.
Well, you're not the only
determined one around here.
Or the most focused.
In, around, under and off.
- Yeah.
- Practice. You know what?
I think I might even keep my
knitting and needles in the car.
Stop! Truce, truce! Hey!
You're gonna pay
for that, Mr. King!
- Hey! Hey, stop!
- Here I am!
Hey, you guys gotta come
see this! There's a ewe.
She's come into the hay shed.
She's ready to lamb.
Really?
I have never seen
a lamb being born before.
Me neither.
You're gonna love this then.
Come on! It's the
circle of life!
Come on!
Whoo! The circle of life!
Col was right!
That was amazing!
Col was just great!
I'm so happy
we got to share that.
Yeah, me too.
Oh...
Are you gonna get that?
Ah! Uh, that can
go to voicemail.
My father's ringtone.
You know, kind of suits him.
He's on my case about
getting home, closing deals.
So, here's the important part.
We attended the birth,
so it is our duty to come up
with a name, right?
Uh, Wooly, 'cause sheep are...
- What...
- No, OK.
What else have you got?
Uh, Jumper, 'cause she's...
Oh, come on!
Ida did get all the
creativity in the gene pool.
Hey, that's not true!
I'm a photographer.
Oh!
You finally realized that, huh?
Good for you.
So, the lamb,
she's a girl, so...
Ba-aarbara.
- Ah!
- Obviously.
Yes! That's great!
You know what?
I think Ba-aarbara needs to come
back and join team Homespun.
Every yarn shop
needs a resident sheep.
I'm surprised you
don't have one already.
Come on! I'm focused on the
milling equipment at the moment.
Mmm...
And I should probably go.
I am late for knit group, again.
You're leading me astray.
What...
Hey, thanks for an unusual day.
Thank you.
It was amazing!
Did you know a newborn lamb
can stand up in a half hour?
I mean, I knew it, but I had
never actually seen it before.
It was so gorgeous! So cute!
Unsteady...
Kind of like Sam, really.
He's pretty special, huh?
Yeah, he is.
The... she. The lamb.
It's a girl.
Sophie, news flash!
You're falling in love
with this man.
No! I was just...
Rose, I just broke up with Chris
2 weeks ago. It's too soon.
You've been breaking up
with Chris for a long time.
And guess what?
Knitting follows
a pattern. Love doesn't.
Maybe this is exactly
the right time.
But he's so stubborn
and determined.
Hmm, like someone else I know.
And he's leaving,
in two days. No.
No, I just need to
focus on that mill.
Stubborn, determined...
Stop!
Romance can come later,
if and when.
I don't think that's quite
how these things work, Sophie.
Awesome!
Wonderful!
Lucy's a natural.
Yeah!
Yeah, see you!
Keep practicing!
OK, thank you.
Bye! Have a good day.
Bye!
Good job!
It is really impressive how far
you've come so quickly, Lucy.
If you can help
someone with knitting,
it means yours
has really improved.
You keep it up!
Soon, you're gonna be
as good as any of us,
maybe even better.
I don't know about that.
I do feel more
confident, though.
Good! Hang on
to that confidence.
We'll need it
at the Makers' Fair.
Sophie.
- Hey!
- Quick! It's important.
- What...
- Yeah.
Uh, can you manage
the store, Rose?
My pleasure!
Sam?
Sam?
I'm back!
Hold out your arms!
Guess who?
Oh!
Ba-aarbara?
Oh!
She's gorgeous!
She's so soft!
Yeah, 'cause she's all wool.
Oh, beautiful girl!
She's gorgeous!
To Ba-aarbara!
Now, Col has managed
to source us
a very special seafood delicacy.
Oh, yum!
Paua! Uh...
Oh! God, I'm sorry. That's...
- It's fine!
- It's black!
It's supposed to be!
It has the most beautiful shell.
Yeah. Here, look.
See this? It's made
out of paua shell.
Pretty, huh?
Yeah.
Oh, and it tastes
delicious! Try this!
Oh, um...
Oh! That is amazing!
And so are you.
I mean, the photos.
It really is a good idea.
Well, I do have
the occasional one.
You and Ba-aarbara,
great social media posts!
Pics with animals always get
a lot of likes and interest.
Probably need about 4 of those.
And, uh, oh...
Thanks. The shots
are great, again!
Well, hey, had a good subject.
Ba-aarbara!
Yeah, I'll pull some
prints together.
Try to post every day
leading up to the weekend.
It'll help with
the turnout at the market.
I will. Thanks, Sam.
Well, to quote Col:
"Sweet as, bro."
Hey, Chris.
Soph, I've been trying
to get ahold of you.
I know. I'm sorry.
Look, I think we made a mistake.
We?
Me, I... I made a mistake.
Can we just...
- Chris, I...
- No, no, no, Soph, please.
Just hear me out, OK?
Just give me a chance.
Thanks again for
letting us use it.
Oh, no problem.
You know, I think I might
actually leave it like that.
Hey, I'll get you
the last batch of yarn.
- You should take it with you.
- Oh, great!
Hi!
Good day, love!
It's a wee bit early, I know,
but, uh, I'm looking
for Mr. Samuel King.
Here to measure up
the fiber milling gear.
Oh, you're...
Are you gonna buy it?
Well, that's the idea.
He gave me a new price,
so I'm here to sign off.
Just need to make sure
it's in working order
and measure it for transport.
You work here?
I...
I... I used to help out
around the place.
Great!
So, uh, where can I
find Mr. King?
- Want me to take both?
- No, no, no. I can take that.
That's Mr. King,
right over there.
Thanks! Have a good day!
Hey, one minute.
Sophie! Sophie!
Hey! I can explain.
You didn't even
give me a chance!
Hey!
Sophie!
Oh! Chairs have
been picked up.
Volunteers are ready to go.
I think we're all set!
Has anyone seen Glenda?
Oh, she took off last night.
She's disappeared!
But, hey, Soph, look at
all these donations!
Great!
But it doesn't matter anymore.
There's no point!
Sam's selling the mill
to someone else.
What? He can't do that!
He can do what he likes.
He has made that
perfectly clear.
This is just business.
Soph, regardless, your friends
put so much hard work into this,
and love.
It'll still be a great
promotion for the shop, hey?
Yeah. Yeah,
you're right.
And Samuel's gone to
so much trouble for us.
Maybe it isn't what you think.
These are amazing, Ida.
You... you really are an artist.
Actually, that's not mine.
That's hers.
I really messed up, huh?
I mean, Sophie's never
gonna trust me again.
I don't know.
But what I do know is you
have to start trusting this,
like she does.
Admit it!
You've fallen in love
with this place, Sam,
just like I did.
I can see it, even if you can't.
Listen to this.
Maybe this was
your path all along.
What do I do?
An explanation is a good start.
Oh, Kyle, have you seen Sophie?
Yep!
Hey, Chris!
Nice of you to come.
I wanted to wish you good luck.
I... I was hoping maybe
we could hang out later.
What's Chris doing with Sophie?
Thought they'd split.
Guess not, hey?
No...
The Homespun knitting contest
starts on the stage in one hour.
Come see me to sign up.
I want to fix this.
I've missed you, a lot.
That's really sweet, Chris.
We are gonna have to talk later.
I have a contest to run.
With a bit of rearranging
in the stock room,
this place will fit
the milling machines
and still have room
for the knitting club.
You shouldn't have those keys.
Perks of the trade!
Changed a bit, hey?
It's normally full.
They're all at the market.
All these years...
Haberdashery, patterns,
buttons...
Tiddlywinks.
You're a very
cunning woman, Glenda.
And persuasive.
I got you on that
plane, didn't I?
Only so I can deal with
this mill foolishness.
Oh, come on, Liz!
It's a great idea!
You should be supporting her.
It's a huge risk!
I remember a certain young woman
who wanted to open
her own real estate office.
Her parents didn't
approve of that,
but she did it anyway,
and look at her now.
Sophie is just as
passionate about this place
as you are about your work.
She's more like you
than you know, Liz.
You did not enter me in this!
Oh, yes, I did!
The knitting contest
starts in one minute!
Come on!
Just relax, enjoy yourself.
Hello, everyone!
I'm Sophie Markham, the owner
of Homespun in Kingsvale!
Thank you! Today's contest
is not one of skill.
It is one of speed.
Whoever can knit the longest
scarf in an hour wins.
OK, so, as I was saying,
it doesn't have to be
the most beautiful scarf
or the most technical.
You just have to...
Mom?
What?
Ha!
What...
Uh, sorry, um...
Surprise contestant!
Ladies and gentlemen,
all the way from LA, my mom!
Uh, OK.
This is just about
using your two needles
and some of this
home-milled King Yarn
to knit the longest scarf
you possibly can.
Room for one more?
Yep!
Today's prize is very special.
King Yarn won't be
around for much longer.
I milled this batch...
the last one ever.
OK, when I say go,
you can start knitting.
Three, two...
Mom!
- Not yet, Mom.
- Oh, sorry.
One, go!
Come on, Sam!
Come on, Sam!
Come on, Liz! Let's go!
Whoo!
Come on, Liz!
You can do it!
I didn't know you had it in you.
We're into the final straight,
and the needles are flying!
We've got serious competition.
Kyle the Baker
in the home stretch.
Lucy-Goosey picking up the pace.
Christopher and
King Samuel neck and neck,
which is handy,
'cause it's a scarf.
Pride of LA is battling away.
Big Hands Col is charging down
the back straight.
But here we go!
It's over to the stewards now!
OK! Everyone, 10...
9, 8, 7,
6, 5,
4, 3, 2, 1!
Needles down!
Mom, needles down!
Uh...
Ah, Lucy!
- That's amazing!
- Thank you!
Wow!
Ten...
Ah, Mom!
All right.
Wow!
Hmm...
Um, OK, everyone,
in first place
with an impressive 22 inches,
Lucy Collins!
Congratulations! I told you!
And in second place,
the most unlikely of knitters
with probably the messiest
and ugliest piece,
my mother, Liz Markham!
See? You can knit!
Thank you for coming.
It is so good to see you.
You too, darling.
Congratulations on all this!
Thank you!
- Oh, I'll do it!
- Oh!
Oh! Ow!
And in third place,
Samuel King,
King Farm's financial advisor.
Congratulations.
The last of the yarn.
A memento.
Sophie...
Well, thank you,
everyone, for coming!
Hope to see you all at Homespun.
No speed knitting required!
Well, I'm a terrible knitter,
but it was a lot of fun.
Well, maybe you just
need more lessons.
Yeah. I... I'd like
that, more lessons.
Oh, but that's all
it would be, Chris.
I'm happy to be friends,
but that's all.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, I understand.
I just want you
to be happy, Soph.
Excuse me, Sophie.
Can we talk?
You're not gonna believe this.
Uh...
Believe what?
It's your mom.
Come and see.
She is not trying to
sell my store, is she?
I can so see her doing that!
It's gorgeous!
Your mom had the highest bid!
Oh, wow!
Thanks, Mum!
It looks great.
No, you don't get it.
She bid high.
Mum...
This is way too much!
You didn't have to.
- "Mom..."
- No, you can't!
I can and will.
Think of it as an apology.
I see the community you've
built around this business.
And what kind of
mother would I be
if I didn't help you
keep it alive?
You can repay me
in knitting lessons.
How about that?
- Thank you!
- I love you.
Love you.
This is huge.
Now you can buy the equipment!
The mill is yours.
Except you're forgetting.
Sam already sold it.
Has it gone yet, though?
Maybe you can outbid
this other buyer now.
Rose, I'm not gonna beg him!
Oh, come on!
If the immovable Liz Markham
can come around,
so can her daughter.
Just give him
a chance to explain.
Samuel...
Let's go get some air.
I would like to make
an official offer on the mill,
a higher bid, if that's needed.
- Sophie, can I just explain?
- What's to explain?
It's all about the bottom line.
I haven't sold the mill.
Yes, I lined up a buyer,
not long after I got here,
but then I got to see how deeply
Ida feels about all of this:
the... the farm, everything.
God, she loves this place.
And I... I realized
she'd do anything
to keep it in the family.
Yeah.
And then you and I started
to get to know each other.
And I could see you'd done
exactly the same thing:
fallen in love and stayed.
So, I changed my mind.
I... I don't understand.
You offered that guy
a better price!
No, I didn't.
I called him and told him
the price had gone up.
It... it's just...
I don't know.
He turned up today to try
and change my mind,
but I already knew.
The equipment,
the yarn, the last mill,
it all belongs to you.
So, I said no.
And I stole the needles
out of your car, so, uh...
So, the mill,
it's still for sale, to me?
Yeah.
OK!
This is my mother's
investment in me.
So I am going to use it
to pay for that equipment.
OK...
Partner.
Partner?
But aren't you going
back to New York?
No, I'm not.
I've kind of fallen
in love myself.
With this place, you know.
I have to get used to
the speed-limit signs
and maybe help Col
deliver a lamb or two.
What is your father gonna say
about you not going back?
I'll handle my father.
You know, I'm gonna do
what I want to do.
Right now, it's making you
some fine, fine merino wool,
17 microns.
It'll be nice to be
around you still,
even if we're just friends.
Just friends?
Yeah, well, I, uh, I saw you
with Chris before, so...
Oh, no, Sam, Chris is great.
But we're not
getting back together.
No, I need to be with
someone who gets me.
You get me.
You would do anything to
help me and the business.
You care about what I do.
It's you I want to be with.
OK.
That's good.
Because...
I finally figured
out what I want too.
You.
Hey!
Mum, this is Sam.
We are going to be
business partners.
Looks like more than that to me!
I hope you can help my daughter
make Homespun bigger
and better, then, Sam.
She deserves it.
She certainly does.
Oh! And I think
you deserve this.
It'll look much better on you.
Oh, he's a Kiwi!
It's perfect.
Sophie, I think
you just officially
ended the sweater curse.
I think you might
be right, Glenda.
Lovely!
A well-made jersey is like
a well-made loaf of bread,
both crafted with love
and each perfect in
their own particular way.
Hmm.
Biscuits?
He speaks!
- That was very eloquent, Kyle.
- Yep!
Well done!
- Oh!
- Thank you!
- Biscuit?
- Oh, nice!
Yeah.
Hi! Hey, Mum!
- Hi, darling!
- Hey!
Guys, come check these out!
So, this is where
the mill and carders
and tumblers
and tubs are gonna go.
- Sweet as!
- Stock can come in here?
Hi!
Say hello to
Homespun's newest mascot!
Ba-aarbara?
Yeah, making her debut!
She's all yours.
I don't know what to say!
Don't say a thing.
She'll be available
for special events,
photo shoots,
picnics, weddings...
And she'll live at the farm,
so you'll get to
see her every day.
You know exactly
who I am, don't you?
I do.
And you're exactly who I want.
- Aw!
- Aw!
