Like inseparable friends (5-4)

I believe the answer is:

close-knit

(Other definitions for close-knit that I've seen before include "Tightly bound together" , "United or joined together - with wool?" , "Bound together by strong relationships" , "Bound by strong ties" , "(Group) united by many ties" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
