Welcome to Making Stitches Podcast!
In this episode, I share a chat I’ve had with Michelle Greaves, one half of the team behind the brand new TexStyle festival which is coming to Manchester next year. Michelle and her Mum, Carole, have been hosting yarn festivals for a number of years including the Buxton, Cumbria and Stafford Wool Gatherings, next year, they are hosting a much bigger event spanning all sorts of textile and yarn crafts in central Manchester.
TexStyle is a fresh celebration of all things textile, from knitting and crochet to sewing, weaving and sustainable fashion. It will bring together makers, artists, guilds and other enthusiasts for a weekend of inspiration and creativity in the historic Manchester Central (formerly GMEX).
I really enjoyed chatting to Michelle about how her career has swerved from fashion design to web design alongside organising yarn festivals with her Mum, Carole, who has decades of experience in the yarn industry.
I hope you enjoy listening to our chat!
