During this time, Wilbur befriends Cardigan, a newborn lamb that is looked down upon by the other lambs and the younger sheep of his flock because he has black wool. Wilbur takes Cardigan under his wing and shows him the farm, the ways of animal life, and dangers to look out for.

However, after only a few weeks, Zuckerman suddenly sells Cardigan to another farmer, so Wilbur, along with Charlotte's daughters and Templeton the Rat, set out to visit Cardigan and make sure he's okay.

The name of the lamb (Cardigan) is a joke as certain characters in the film want his wool to be turned into a coat. The punchline is implied in the fact that synonyms among the word "coat" include jacket, sweater, and cardigan.
