In this episode I have a wonderful conversation with master weaver Linda Cruickshank about ancient spinning and carding techniques.

And I have the pleasure of interviewing Edinburgh University Levehulme Research Fellow and tablet weaver, Dr Cynthia Thickpenny. Cynthia shares with us her insights into the connections between Pictish sculptured stones and textiles. She also made us a "how to" tablet weave video and so I recommend watching that on the video version of this podcast, available on YouTube.

Special thanks to Musea Maaseik for letting us use the images of textiles in your collection.
