“The thinking man's circular knitting mechanic.” Yep, that’s Thom Boehm.

The Modern Cotton Story

For this week's podcast, we had the pleasure of interviewing Thom Boehm, who not only works for knitting company Stansfield Ltd in Nova Scotia, but is an influential blogger on LinkedIn. With a large and engaged following of industry professionals, Thom Boehm writes about all sorts of things on LinkedIn. One day he may discuss the intricacies of running a knitting machine. The next day, Thom may discuss world events. Yet on another day, when he may write about friends and family. Thom’s perspective of the textile industry is directly from the factory floor. He’s seen changes come and go, but offers sage advice about many of the problems plaguing the industry today and its prospects for improvement tomorrow. Hosted by Jennifer Crumpler, Fiber Development Manager and Manager of the e3 Sustainable Cotton Program from BASF, and interviewed by industry consultant Bob Antoshak.
