Archer Knits - Spotlight on Leaders; Business

  • Summary

  • Archer Knits Episode
    This episode provides insights and tips for up-and-coming crafters, Etsy shops and aspiring business owners. 

    Archer Knits is a woman-owned, small business that started as a knitting hobby in Hillsborough, NC. Since the COVID-19 lockdowns of 2020, Archer Knits has grown from part-time work for it’s owner-operators, to now employing one full-time and three part-time employees. The path that owner Cassy Becker finds herself on now, is decidedly *not* what she’d planned. Cassy and her husband, Chris, tell me about: the turn from knitting to custom laser engraving; the stresses of being a wife and husband business team; the struggles they face today; and the vision they have for what’s next.
