How many of us weavers grew up with Interweave? Perhaps someone else has written or will write the history of Linda Ligon’s company which she started in Loveland, Colorado in 1975. The first magazine she produced was called Interweave. Eventually that magazine became Handwoven and Interweave became the name of the company. Linda sold the company in 2005. It was sold again to F+W Media and they declared bankruptcy in 2019. Linda, along with Anne Merrow and John Bolton, formed a new company in 2019 and are now the publishers of three of the most beloved magazines, Handwoven, Spin Off, and PieceWork.*

The company, Long Thread Media, has added new components to this fiber-centered business that we have loved for so long. One of those things is a podcast. Now in Season 2, I was thrilled to be interviewed by Anne for the April 9, 2021 episode.
