Candiss and Rodger, a nice couple, angels on the road... Thanks for your kindness, help on the road and your support!

Here a short Bio of this nice couple, that Candiss wrote on an article:
“Rodger and I are excited to share our life’s work with you. Both of us have been in the textile industry most of our lives. My family has been in textiles for generations. They arrived in America and worked in the Lockport and Newfane Felt Mills in Upstate New York. While the men of the family worked in the Mills, the women wove at home. I grew up in that small Dutch community where my grandmother passed her handweaving skills on to me. Rodger began his textile training in Macclesfield in Cheshire, England. He came to America when the textile industry was big in North Carolina and the companies needed new machinery. Rodger helped create new yarns as well as the machinery to produce them. Since we joined forces in 2004, his focus has been on color, pattern and adding that "wow" factor to our current collections. Together we mix over 60 years in textiles."
