Unravelling Scotland's Knit History


Listen Later

Our first episode takes us on a deep dive into the Scottish knitting industry with the University of Glasgow’s Fleece to Fashion project team. Which iconic knitted garment found fame in Hollywood? Where in Scotland can you spin alpaca yarn? Who was really behind the knitting patterns of Bernat Klein?  

 

You don’t need to be a knitter to enjoy this episode, but you may be inspired to pick up some needles and cast on as the team take us on a journey across Scotland that spans decades.
