Big thanks to Ricky for pointing out that the proper website for Mai Tominaga’s Wool 100% is now live, spiffy trailer included. We first wrote about the film here back in July after falling in love with the premise and production stills so it’s good to finally see some of these images in motion. The film hits DVD in late May. Here’s the official synopsis:

The four parallel stories told in 100% PURE WOOL take place in a magical house where two old women live a fantasy world filled with monsters and garbage…

Once upon a time, there were sisters named Ume and Kame. Sisters were living in an old house for a long time only by themselves. Every day, they came back picking up rubbishes every time they went out to the town. They valued and took good care of what they picked up very much. When the night came, sisters were able to sleep well in peace because a lot of rubbishes that had been picked up surrounded them. However, sisters have picked it up one day. It was a red woolen yarn.

The night of the yarns discovery while in bed the sisters heard some peculiar sounds from the rubbish heap collapsing. To the surprise, they found a little girl knitting a sweater out of the red wool which they had picked up. Ume and Kame named her as Aminaoshi” who kept on tracing the red wool ... Since then, sisters spent wakeful nights as all of the rubbish in their home transforms into monsters…

Why does Aminaoshi keep knitting the red wool like crazy? Who is Aminaoshi anyway...???

Now, I want to see this, it’s nice. I propose a new DVD label to accomodate it, “Tartan Asian Extreme Knitting”.

Just to clarify, this has actually been released already, in October of last year. Wasn’t able to catch it myself as it was only playing lateshows.
