About this episode

This episode features a conversation about the intersection of modern technology and heritage crafts, focusing on knitting and garment production.

In this episode, we talk heritage crafts and modern knitting machines, the reality of factories closing and skills disappearing, the joy (and complexity) of running your own machines, and why making fewer, better garments still makes sense in 2026. From naturally dyed yarns and hand intarsia to washing, mending, moth anxiety, and the odd globe‑maker next door, this is a warm, honest, deeply nerdy conversation about how clothes are actually made—and why it still matters.
