Fiber Talk with Nordic Needle

Ryan Evelyth, Christian Braden, Mary Ann Ouradnik, and Cassie Slaby (l-r) from Nordic Needle.

Four members of the Nordic Needle staff join us this week to talk about one of the largest online businesses in the needlework hobby. We had a great time talking with co-owners Ryan Evelyth and Christian Braden, purchaser Mary Ann Ouradnik, and shop supervisor Cassie Slaby. You’ll enjoy the story about how Nordic Needle got started and grew from a small local business to an international resource operated by dedicated people, driven by a mission to keep alive as many of the traditional cultural stitching techniques as possible.–Christine and Gary
