The Close Knit podcast showcases artists, designers, and makers from all over the world who work with fibre in its many forms. Knitters, spinners, sewers, textile artists - all will be celebrated on the Close Knit podcast.

This week on the Close Knit Podcast, I spoke to Caitlin Murray of Raglan St Wears. We chatted about the inspiration for her SS15 collection, how she keeps motivated to continue working on her business, and her love of needlepoint.
