About the author

Founded in 1878 in the United States, Lion Brand Yarn is widely described as the country's oldest craft yarn company. On its official site, the business says it is now in its fifth generation of family ownership and has spent nearly 150 years supporting knitting, crochet, and weaving.

Over time, the company has grown from a traditional yarn maker into a familiar name for home crafters, offering many yarn lines as well as a large library of free patterns and project ideas. Its public-facing mission centers on warmth, comfort, and inspiration, which helps explain its strong connection to hobbyists and makers.

Because Lion Brand Yarn is a company rather than an individual author, there is no standard personal biography to tell. Still, its long history, family leadership, and lasting place in American craft culture make it a distinctive presence for readers interested in the world of handmade creativity.
