There were also plenty of interesting businesses that were more traditional, like
a retail yarn shop in Portland and an Israeli - American designer who created a business selling hand - made wedding contracts.
With the help of 500 employees across two production facilities (the other is in North Carolina), Spinrite packages and sells more than 50 million balls of
yarn a year under seven brands to big
retailers like Michaels and Walmart, as well as smaller independent
shops.
