Hi, I thought some of you might be interested in "people power". When we were
in Spain visiting the Finca factory we were told how it started. The Great (I
think great) grand father of the family saw how his wife had trouble with her
sewing threads snapping and causing problems so he spun and made his own
threads. His wife found them very good so he then took them to the local shops
but
no one would take them. They all got thread from the big famous companies and
were not interested in his. He went home very disheartened but then decided
he would give his thread away. He took samples to all the ladies groups he
could find and told them to try it. They all loved it. they then went to the
shops
and asked for Finca threads but of course they didn't have it. Then they
approached him and asked for it! Finca (means sort of a small holding where the
grandfather lived) was born. I know it sound sort of like Aesop Fables but it
is
a true story. I think it's great, Vivienne
