ABOUT LION BRAND YARN AND MICHAELS

LION BRAND YARN

Lion Brand is a family-owned and operated business and a beloved American brand since 1878. As the fifth generation of Blumenthals joins the business, it is a true passion for yarn, shared by all our associates, that is the secret to Lion Brand’s success.

Year after year we drive innovation in the yarn business and pursue excellence in the quality of our products.

Lion Brand is renowned for its pattern support, which is a source of inspiration for yarn lovers. We offer patterns to the public through magazines, branded books with major publishers, as well as our web site, which offers over 3,600 patterns.

The Lion Brand web site is the most visited site on the Internet of those that feature yarn. Over 1 million weekly e-newsletter subscribers receive up-to-date information about new products, information about knit, crochet and craft techniques and special offers, as well as knitting stories, e-cards, and a popular comic called Lola.

Lion Brand yarns are available throughout the United States in craft chains, discount chains and internationally in 19 countries. You may also purchase our yarns directly from our web site.
