Wool and Lamplight

There is a cottage on the fell where the lamp is lit at dusk and the wheel never hurries — and the shawl on the needles is for you. Wool and Lamplight is a four-hour evening of spinning and becoming: carding Bramble's gray fleece, treadling through stories and fire-tending, plying by feel, washing skeins, and knitting falling leaves toward a beaded edge. You'll travel with the parcel to the city, sit through your sister's first evening wrapped in gray, and return to find the next fleece already waiting in the barn. The script was drafted with light AI assistance and then read aloud, paced, and shaped by a human producer for slow listening.
