The 15 Best Knitting Podcasts (2026)

Jasmin and her mother Gigi have been recording together since 2008, making Knitmore Girls one of the longest-running knitting podcasts out there. With over 360 episodes and more than a thousand Apple Podcasts ratings, they've built a serious following. The mother-daughter chemistry is real and sometimes spicy -- they're not afraid to share strong opinions about yarn, techniques, or life in general. Regular segments like "On the Needles," "Mother Knows Best," and the fan-favorite "When Knitting Attacks!" give each episode a familiar rhythm that listeners come back for week after week. Beyond the needles, they bring in unexpected topics like Persian culture, visible mending, sewing, and garment construction. Jasmin is clearly the driving force behind the show's pace, while Gigi grounds things with practical wisdom earned over decades of making things by hand. The production quality is consistent, and they maintain a strong Ravelry community where listeners swap notes between episodes. Fair warning: this is a podcast with personality. Some listeners love the candid commentary and occasional bickering; others find it a bit much. But if you want a knitting podcast that feels like eavesdropping on a real family conversation -- complete with laughter, disagreements, and genuine affection -- Knitmore Girls delivers that in a way few shows can match. They cover everything from sock construction to stash organization, always filtered through their own distinctive point of view.

Gayle and Sharlene have been yarning together since 2012, and 347 episodes later they're still going strong with their biweekly show from the California coast. The format is comfortably predictable in the best way: they talk about what they're wearing, what they're stalking on Ravelry, and what's currently on their needles. Pattern reviews are a real strength here -- they give honest, detailed takes on designs they've tried rather than just previewing things that look pretty in photos. The 4.7-star rating from 575 reviews isn't an accident. Listeners consistently point to the genuine warmth between the hosts as the main draw. They're kind to each other, supportive of their listeners, and create the sort of atmosphere that makes you want to pour a cup of tea and pick up your own project while you listen. Their Ravelry group is active, and they run regular knit-alongs that give the community a shared purpose beyond just listening. The show tends to stay focused on the craft itself rather than branching into unrelated territory. If you want interviews with designers or deep technical instruction, you'll need to look elsewhere. But for a reliable, feel-good companion podcast that covers the rhythms of a knitting life -- new projects, yarn acquisitions, finished objects, and the occasional frog -- The Yarniacs have been doing it well for over a decade.

Barb and her daughter Tracie have carved out a genuinely unique niche by combining two passions that pair surprisingly well: knitting and reading. Running since 2011 with over 300 episodes, they've built a loyal audience of 515 reviewers who gave them a 4.7-star average -- numbers that speak for themselves. Each episode splits time between their current knitting projects and whatever books they've been reading, complete with personal ratings and recommendations. It's the kind of dual-hobby show that rewards listeners who share both interests, but even if you're only there for the knitting side, there's plenty to keep you engaged. They run regular knit-alongs with community participation and have organized charity knitting initiatives over the years. The mother-daughter dynamic is warm without being saccharine, and their detailed show notes include Ravelry links and yarn specifications for everything they mention. One thing worth knowing: they've announced plans to wrap up the show in September 2026 after a planned 15-year run. So if you're discovering them now, you're catching the final stretch of a podcast that's been a staple in the knitting community for years. The episode archive is deep enough to keep a new listener busy through several sweaters' worth of knitting time.

Greg (who goes by KnittingDaddy on Ravelry) and Pam have been co-hosting Unraveling since 2015, and with 266 episodes they've settled into the kind of easy rapport that only comes from years of recording together. The show covers knitting, crocheting, sewing, and fiber arts more broadly, but it never feels scattered -- the hosts have a genuine curiosity about all things handmade that ties everything together. A standout feature is their book club approach to knitting literature. They'll pick titles from popular fiber arts authors and spend episodes discussing them, which adds a layer of depth you don't find in most project-update shows. Between those segments, they share their own works in progress and finished objects with the kind of honest commentary that makes you feel like you're sitting in their living room. The 4.7-star rating from 162 reviewers reflects a community that genuinely enjoys the friendship between the hosts. Multiple listeners describe the show as feeling like hanging out with two good friends while they knit, chat, and catch up. The biweekly schedule gives each episode room to breathe without the pressure of churning out weekly content. If you appreciate a podcast where the hosts clearly respect each other and take their time with topics rather than rushing through segment after segment, Unraveling is worth adding to your rotation.

BostonJen has been recording from her cellar studio since 2012, and the name is literal -- she crafts and records from a cozy basement workspace that's become something of a character in the show itself. With a 4.8-star rating from 313 reviews, Down Cellar Studio is one of the most consistently well-received knitting podcasts around. The biweekly episodes cover a wide range of fiber arts territory: knitting and crochet projects (she's particularly fond of socks and sweaters), spinning, yarn acquisitions, and fiber festival reports. But Jen also folds in photography, book recommendations, and personal life updates in a way that feels natural rather than forced. What sets this show apart is the community Jen has built. She runs knit-alongs that give listeners shared projects to work on, and the show notes are detailed enough that you can follow along with exactly what she's making. Listeners describe her voice and style as welcoming and warm, the kind of podcast you put on during a long car ride or a quiet evening of knitting. She doesn't rush, and she doesn't try to be everything to everyone. The pace is deliberate and unhurried, matching the rhythm of the craft itself. If you're looking for a solo-hosted show with substance and a strong sense of place, Jen's cellar studio is a great spot to spend some time.

Vivian and Alyson Chu are a mother-daughter team recording from two continents -- Vivian in Virginia, Alyson in Edinburgh, Scotland. That transatlantic setup gives each episode a natural built-in contrast, as they compare yarn shops across the pond, discuss different knitting cultures, and catch up on each other's lives. Since 2017 they've put out 169 episodes, covering both knitting and crochet with equal enthusiasm. The show is split between the expected (works in progress, finished objects, yarn obsessions) and the delightfully unexpected. They've got a recurring BuzzFeed quiz segment that listeners apparently love enough to specifically request, and they regularly wander into TV show discussions and personal updates that give the podcast a lived-in quality. They also run a Pearl & Plum Etsy store, so there's an entrepreneurial thread woven through the show. The chemistry between them is the real draw. Reviewers consistently call it genuine, and you can hear the authentic affection in how they talk to each other, even when they disagree. Audio quality has improved over time -- earlier episodes had some rough patches -- but the recent production is solid. If you want a knitting podcast that also covers crochet and doesn't take itself too seriously, this one hits a nice sweet spot between craft talk and family conversation.

Staci Perry built her reputation on the VeryPink Knits YouTube channel, where her clear, patient tutorials have helped thousands of knitters work through tricky techniques. The podcast, co-hosted with Polly Baker, takes a different approach -- it's a Q&A format where they answer real knitting questions submitted by their audience. Sleeve construction, lifelines, short rows, yarn substitution, blocking methods -- the kind of practical stuff you actually need help with mid-project. With 100 episodes and a 4.6-star rating from 530 reviewers, the show has found its audience among knitters who want answers rather than just conversation. The episodes run 20-30 minutes, which makes them easy to fit into a lunch break or a quick knitting session. One thing to know: Staci and Polly are friends who genuinely enjoy chatting, and some episodes front-load personal banter before getting to the Q&A. If you're the type who wants to skip straight to the technical content, that might test your patience. But most listeners appreciate the warmth between the hosts and consider the personal talk part of the charm. There's also a Patreon option for bonus episodes if you want more. For knitters who learn best by listening and want practical guidance from someone who's been teaching the craft for years, VeryPink Knits fills a real gap in the podcast world.

Felicia Lo is the founder and creative director of SweetGeorgia Yarns, and her podcast reflects the perspective of someone who lives and breathes the fiber arts business. Now in its sixth season with 119 episodes, the show sits at the intersection of craft, creativity, and color -- and it earns that positioning rather than just claiming it. The interview format is where this podcast really shines. Felicia talks to knitters, spinners, designers, shop owners, and makers from across the handmade textile world. The conversations tend to run long (30-70 minutes) and go deep, exploring not just what people make but how they think about making. Topics range from hand-spinning and fiber preparation to machine knitting, weaving, crochet design, and running a fiber arts business. The 4.8-star rating from 75 reviews is notable because the audience is small but devoted -- these are listeners who care about the craft at a professional or semi-professional level. SweetGeorgia Yarns recently celebrated 20 years in business, and that longevity shows in how Felicia approaches her guests and topics. She asks questions that come from genuine industry experience, not just surface curiosity. If you're interested in the business side of fiber arts, or you want to hear thoughtful conversations with the people who design the patterns and dye the yarn you're using, this is the show for that.

Anne Frost named this podcast perfectly. The whole premise is about learning what you thought you already knew -- in knitting and in life -- and she's been exploring that idea across 132 episodes since 2019. The show stands out in the knitting podcast space for its thoughtful, almost meditative approach. Anne has a soothing voice that listeners consistently mention in reviews, and she uses it to draw out fascinating conversations with fiber arts professionals from around the world. The interview roster is impressive. She talks to knitwear designers, yarn producers, and craftspeople about topics you don't hear covered on most knitting shows: Fair Isle traditions, Shetland lace techniques, steeks (those terrifying cuts through your knitting), sustainability in fiber production, and the history behind traditional methods. It's educational without being dry, because Anne's genuine curiosity comes through in every question she asks. Product reviews and personal musings about knitting round out the episodes, and she covers fiber events and community gatherings with the eye of someone who's genuinely engaged rather than just reporting. The 4.7-star rating from 200 reviewers confirms what becomes obvious after a few episodes: this is a show made by someone who respects both the craft and the people who practice it. For knitters who want substance and perspective alongside their project updates, Anne delivers consistently.

Kelly and Marsha have been friends for over 30 years, and their podcast -- running since 2014 with 278 episodes -- sounds exactly like what you'd expect from two people who know each other that well. They come at fiber arts from complementary angles: Marsha is the knitter who's been developing yarn dyeing skills, while Kelly brings expertise in spinning, knitting, and weaving. That range means episodes can go from discussing a tricky sock heel to the mechanics of a spinning wheel to warping a loom, all within the same hour. The monthly release schedule gives them plenty to catch up on between recordings, and each episode has the unhurried quality of friends reconnecting over coffee. They run community events like Home-A-Longs and Weave-A-Longs that give listeners a reason to participate beyond just listening. Reviews (4.5 stars from 197 ratings) repeatedly highlight one thing: the chemistry feels authentic. One listener described it as being in their living room chatting, and another mentioned that the infectious laughter between the hosts is a genuine highlight. The show doesn't try to be polished or scripted. It's two friends talking about what they're making, what they're learning, and what they're excited about. For listeners who want a fiber arts show that covers more than just knitting needles, the "two ewes" have range to spare.

Shilo has been running Spin Control since 2017, quietly building up 137 episodes of knitting, spinning, and sewing content that listeners describe as perfectly bite-sized. The semimonthly format keeps things manageable, and the episodes themselves tend to be compact enough to finish during a single knitting session. Listeners consistently praise Shilo's soothing voice, and it's easy to understand why -- the show has a calm, grounded quality that pairs well with the meditative rhythm of working with yarn and fiber. The content splits between project updates, spinning adventures, sewing projects, and personal storytelling. She's the kind of host who will talk about stash diving with the same genuine enthusiasm she brings to discussing Socktober challenges or her goals for the new year. Recent episodes from early 2026 cover works in progress, craft room projects, and year-end reflections, so the show is clearly still going strong. With a 4.6-star rating from 23 reviews, the audience is smaller but devoted. Multiple reviewers mention that the episodes are ideal for fitting into busy schedules -- "while I knit one row" is how one listener put it. The show doesn't feature interviews or elaborate production. It's one person sharing her craft life honestly and consistently, and that simplicity is part of what makes it work. If you prefer a quieter, more personal knitting podcast over a high-energy production, Spin Control is exactly that.

Kim Biegler runs Ewethful Fiber Farm and Mill, so when she talks about wool processing, spinning, and fiber preparation, she's speaking from daily hands-on experience rather than hobby-level knowledge. Handspun launched in 2023 and has already accumulated 128 episodes, which tells you something about Kim's commitment to the biweekly schedule. The show covers the full journey from raw fleece to finished yarn -- wool washing, carding, spinning wheel mechanics, and the actual craft of creating yarn by hand. She also offers an online spinning course called "Let's Make Yarn!" and maintains free resources through what she calls "Ewethful's Wool School." What makes this podcast distinctive is the farm-and-mill perspective. Most knitting podcasts start with yarn you bought at a shop. Kim starts with the sheep. Episodes feature community maker spotlights, instructional segments on spinning techniques, and honest talk about what it takes to run a working fiber operation. She also isn't afraid to wade into bigger topics -- recent episodes have included activism-focused content addressing social and political issues, which gives the show a dimension beyond pure craft talk. For knitters who've ever been curious about where their yarn actually comes from, or spinners who want practical guidance from someone who processes fiber professionally, Handspun offers a grounded, farm-to-needle perspective you won't find elsewhere.

Carmen hosts A Yarn Story with a rotating cast of co-hosts including Kayleigh and Susan, and the format keeps things fresh across 47 episodes. The show bills itself as a knitting podcast for all levels, from beginners still figuring out their tension to experienced makers with decades of finished objects behind them. What lands well here are the interviews. Carmen talks to designers, yarn producers, and shop owners, and the conversations go beyond surface-level promotion into real discussion about what it means to make things by hand. Festival coverage is a strength too -- episodes from Rhinebeck, Unravel, and other fiber events capture the excitement of those gatherings in a way that makes you feel like you were there. The biweekly release schedule gives each episode room to be substantial rather than rushed. Practical knitting tips sit alongside colour and pattern inspiration, and there's a consistent thread of community connection running through the show. The 4.8-star rating is based on only five reviews so far, which reflects a newer podcast still growing its audience rather than a lack of quality. Listeners who have found it praise the chemistry between Carmen and her co-hosts, calling the show both informative and genuinely entertaining. For knitters who want a podcast that balances technique talk with human stories about the craft, A Yarn Story is building something worth following from the ground floor.

Skein and Tell is the official podcast from Hobbii, the Danish yarn company, hosted by self-described yarn nerd Gea. Launched in 2025, it's one of the newer entries in the knitting podcast space, but the weekly release schedule has already produced 29 episodes. The corporate backing might raise an eyebrow, but the show earns its 4.8-star rating (from 25 reviews) by going well beyond product promotion. Gea covers yarn news, educational content about techniques like colorwork and tension management, and interviews with designers and makers from across the fiber arts world. The production quality benefits from Hobbii's resources -- the audio is clean and the pacing is professional. Gea brings real energy to each episode, which some listeners find infectious and others describe as slightly over the top. Topics range from practical (understanding dye lots, choosing the right float length for colorwork) to unexpectedly creative (one episode explored occult symbolism in fiber arts, which is certainly a first). Behind-the-scenes looks at how a major yarn company operates add a dimension you won't get from independent podcasters. If you're already a Hobbii customer, this is an obvious listen. But even if you buy your yarn elsewhere, the educational content and designer interviews make it worthwhile. Just know that the host's animated style is a feature, not a bug -- she's enthusiastic about yarn, and it shows.

Adam Cleevely of CleevelyKnits and Georgia Denham (a Cambridge PhD student who knits as Tulipurl) launched Yarn Library in November 2025, and in just a few months it's already earned a 4.9-star rating from 33 reviewers. The format is simple and effective: each episode takes one topic and lets the conversation unfold naturally, tangents welcome. The chemistry between the hosts is the obvious draw -- Adam brings a knitting influencer's perspective while Georgia adds an academic's tendency to ask interesting questions about craft culture and heritage preservation. Early episodes leaned heavily on coverage of the Game of Wool TV show, which divided listeners. Some loved the in-depth analysis; others wanted broader craft discussions. The hosts clearly listened, because Season 2 (launching February 2026) promises more varied crafty conversation. At just 12 episodes, this is a podcast you can catch up on in an afternoon. Topics so far include pattern pricing and designer compensation, craft terminology, and the hosts' own knitting origin stories. The show handles weighty subjects (like whether heritage crafts are being adequately preserved) with a light enough touch that it never feels like a lecture. For listeners who want a knitting podcast with intellectual curiosity and a British sensibility, Yarn Library is off to a genuinely promising start.
