We have two fantastic interviews for you in this episode. When we were in Shetland we visited the Jamieson's of Shetland woolen mill again but this time we got to interview Elaine and her son Garry Jamieson. Jamieson's of Shetland is a 5th generation family business, so it's great to hear their story, especially told with their lovely Shetland accents! The Spindrift is probably their best known yarn. It's sold in yarn stores all around the world and it's a fantastic yarn for Fair Isle and other stranded knitting. Many of you are very familiar with this yarn company, so we are super excited for you to get to know the family behind the company in a more personal way through the interview.

We also interview the U.K. designer Di Gilpin, who we did a major featured on back in Episode 55. This time Di joins us to talk in depth about the Scottish Gansey which she is very passionate about. Di also shows us a special new design that's she's working on and this design is especially for Andrew. Yes, you read that correctly, it's very exciting! Natasja Hornby from Moonstruck Knits is also featuring in New Releases, we have updates on our projects and Andrea is starting a new craft!
