Laurie Gonyea first created a yarn company, producing cotton and silver spun yarn for the knitting community, but learned that the number of people who could benefit from silver and cotton spun socks was far greater than the number of people who can knit their own.  She created Silver Spun Goods, a silver spun sock company, in 2019.  She talks about why silver makes her socks so special, as well as her small business experience, including becoming a manufacturer, how she markets her products, reaching people through instagram influencers, coping in this current health crisis and so much more.  Check it out at SilverSpunGoods.com

Fiber folk: One of my favorite things since starting this podcast is being introduced to some of the most amazing people in the fiber industry and the things they are up to.
