Meet Arlinda, yarn business owner

Arlinda Garcia is a South King County resident of Mexican American descent. When the MBA graduate saw an opportunity to run a business promoting an activity she enjoys, she lost no time. “I started crocheting a couple of years ago as a form of stress therapy, decided I wanted to learn to knit, wandered into a for-sale yarn shop, and as they say, the rest is history,” she said.
