Description

Sigrid Bredal learned to spin as a little girl, sitting for hours on her mother’s lap on dusky winter days. In the film, as her foot turns the wheel and her hands pull and feed the fleece, spinning it into yarn. The rhythm, movement, smells, skills and stories also get spun into the substantial thread of experiential knowledge, embodied all the way to her fingertips.

The making of crafts is the antithesis of our times where short term solutions and financial gain is prioritized over longer term perspectives. To spin fleece into yarn is therefore a revolutionary act, in the true sense of the word. An alchemical process turning simple wool into valuable gold in a timeless space where rhythm creates tranquillity, where slowness and presence set the conditions and where material properties are refined and transformed by experienced hands. Spinning is a sensory process of wordless knowledge that can only be learned through patient practice and experience.

A truly gentle revolution. Watch the trailer here
