Hi Knittingnana, we post multiple copies for some of the patterns in different colors because the visuals do help some of our customers. It helps some to see how a project would work up in a different color.
Mambo, Extra Soft Wool Blend and Glitter Eyelash are the current most distributed yarns and are available at local Jo-Ann and Michaels. Also, we discontinue yarns based on popularity. Fortunately, with a yarn like Glitter Eyelash, we were able to have it better produced and available in a versatile color palette. We still have our own new line of yarns such as Jamie, Silky Twist and Luxe Fur that are more affordable and still at a good quality. Even more new yarns are on the way!

I just looked through the patterns for these new yarns. I like many of them; however, why do you find it necessary to post multiple copies of the same pattern where the only difference is the color of the yarn being used. And even worse, why not post all color possibilities together, rather than having some spread through the list of patterns. Lion Brand customers are smart enough to know that if the pattern can be made with one color, it can also be made with other colors of the same yarn.

I spent time also looking at the yarn pages, and several look like thye would be fun to work with. Will these yarns be available in our local stores, or will we have to purchase online or at the Lion Brand Studio in NYC. I am disappointed in the price points for some of these yarns. Lion Brand to me has always stood for great yarns at affordable prices. Some of these yarns are overpriced, considering similar yarns from Lion Brand. Also, it appears you discontinued certain Lion Brand yarns to relaunch them as Martha Stewart Craft Yarns at higher prices. This is not good for your customers. And what is not good for the customers, will not be good for Lion Brand in the long run.

Hi Juli! Mambo is a great crafting yarn that could also work into jewelry. You can add it as trims to items as well (lamp shades, picture frames, etc. The zebra and flamingo are nice color combos).

I would love to try Mambo. I’m not sure what I would do with it but it would be interesting.
