I learn so much each time I listen to Long Thread podcast. Dyes from mushrooms, spinning cordage from all kinds of fibers, animal fibers including alpaca and guanaco, plus so many different weaving traditions. Such a joy to listen each time. Thank you, Anne Merrow!

I love this podcast!! I find myself waiting for each episode and get very excited when a new one is released. This podcast covers so many different subjects within fiber arts and is well thought out. I also like how the interviewer is very conscious of cultures and how different cultures/people might like to share their skills and histories with the public. When I discovered it I went back and listened to every episode :)

I have found many exciting textile artists, all types, by listening to this pod. I appreciate how in depth the interviews are and the overall spirit is inspirational. I usually pick up a neglected project during or after an episode and get busy while I listen. I hope this keeps going.

While some of the talks are so completely specialized and so much so that I don’t know what the craft looks like, there are many more podcasts that are like a thread that is pulled and a story evolves that becomes more and more fascinating with the telling. If you like hearing about diverse lives,cultures, and handcrafts, prepare to be enthralled. I especially recommend the Hawaiian quilt/ Levi Strauss episode

I love listening to this podcast, with the fascinating fiber artists who are interviewed, and Anne Merrow, as a humble, informed, and humorous interviewer. Thank you for introducing me to so many topics, artists, and businesses.

I look forward to each episode. The voices captured in this podcast weave together many decades and geographies of fiber-based ingenuity, creative play, independent thinking, innovation, and generously shared knowledge.

Very insightful on the role of creativity and creating by hand in wellness. Curious to know of any work on the wellness factor for people who do make by hand for a living - artisans the world over. Thanks for a great interview!

What a pleasure to hear crafts spoken about at such an appreciative level! The conversation brought up so many interesting aspects of making and its value and regard in this country. I’d love to see this discussion broadened at a conference with roundtables. Thank you!

Wonderful interview. Would love to hear more from her.

Great guests with in depth conversation! Informative and fun!

Excellent interviews with fiber producers, fiber artists and all things fiber. Thank you! Highly recommend!

Wonderful podcast, I have been out to Big Mountain many times. In 1986, a documentary by the name of Broken Rainbow was filmed winning a Grammy. This is an excellent film about the history of Hopi Partition Lands and the Navajo people who would affected by Federal Government policies.

Anita IS a gift to us all! She is always inspiring.I loved the interview with Lydia Christensen of Abundant Earth Fiber

I love the range of guests and topics. All things fiber!

My mom weaved when I was a kid, but other than a few classes, I haven’t. Her excitement about weaving is so catching, it makes it sound doable! Wonderful episode!

Anne Merrow is highly skilled at interviewing her guests. I appreciate the unique lines of questioning and how she lets them talk without interjecting her own thoughts or experiences. I’ve learned about artists who’ve been around for decades running popular shops, teaching classes, writing books. Always a treat to listen and learn. Thank you for a great podcast.

What a treat listening to your interview with Susan Druding. She has so much information on the early days of supplying materials to weavers & spinners in the 1970's. I love hearing about her experiences in the FSM. Those students were heros to me in the 1960's.

Thanks to Anne Merrow and Long Thread Media for this wonderful podcast. I’m a weaver, but I also enjoy the podcasts about other fiber pursuits. Even though I’m not a spinner, I particularly enjoyed the recent interview with Susan Druding - what an interesting life! Living in Boulder, I also loved the interview with Judy Steinkoenig and Maggie Casey, owners of the former (and beloved) Shuttles, Spindles,

Thank you Long Thread Media for producing such an excellent podcast on all things fiber. I am inspired by every episode.

I have enjoyed many of the interviews in these podcasts. I wish there was a little more of an introduction/background information about the interviewees. I am a long time knitter and new-ish spinner, but the world of weaving mostly unknown to me. Since Longthread specializes in several different fiber arts, I would love just a little bit more information about the people/some brief explanation of the terminology used for those of us who aren't necessarily deeply familiar with every fiber art.

If you love fiber art, this is a wonderful and informative podcast. The production is high-quality and the topics are always very interesting. And in this time of isolation, hearing the voices of these incredible people who do what they do… Well… It means so much. Thank you to Long Thread Media. I look very forward to listening to everything available!!

I found this podcast when I started subscribing to Piece Work magazine, and it’s become a favorite. A range of topics covers everything I’m curious in: how to run a yarn store, spinning tips, embroidery—if it’s fiber related, it’s here. I like the diversity of voices here, and how each conversation is unique. I’ve learned a lot about the cultural history of some fiber arts, as well as what draws people to learn how to spin/knit/weave/etc. It’s a well paced conversation as well, with good interviewers and excellent editing. I find it very relaxing to listen to while I knit.
