Introducing Cashmere from the new LB Collection

LB Collection Cashmere

We believe everyone is entitled to the finer things in life so we are bringing you a collection of fine fibers at reasonable prices. Spun in small quantities, the yarns of the LB Collection will be available exclusively through LionBrand.com, the Lion Design catalog, and at the Lion Brand Yarn Studio. The first introduction in this collection is a pure, 100% Cashmere -- perhaps one of the most prized, luxury fibers -- in six enticing colors. One touch and you'll be smitten. Watch our newsletters over the next few months for more enticing yarns in this collection. Enjoy.

Sharing Bears & Love with Children in Africa
Charity of the Month: Mother Bear Project


The holidays are all about giving, with handmade gifts especially meaningful. This month's charity feature is bringing hand-knit and crocheted bears to children in emerging countries. The Mother Bear Project has sent over 34,000 bears to children effected by HIV/AIDS since its inception 6 years ago.

Using a specified pattern designed to be easy, lightweight, and customizable, knitters and crocheters are encouraged to personalize their bears with fun yarns, exciting colors, and original faces. Each pattern kit also includes a tag that's sent to the children along with their bear, letting them know who each one is from.
