Doug Kreinik, owner of Kreinik Manufacturing, joins us this week to talk about the company, how it got started, and the world of manufacturing the braids, silks, and ribbons that we all love to use in our needlework activities. We also talk about the C.A.K.S. charity and even a bit about fly fishing. If you use Kreinik threads, you’ll enjoy learning the story behind them.–Gary and Christine
