WHAT HAPPENED TO THE LB CATALOG??

LB Cupcake Yarn

When I received the most recent LionBrand catalog in my mailbox, I was intrigued with the cover photo – a thick rug composed of large colorful pompons under a retro plastic molded chair. But, I am a bit put off by the contents of the catalog. I love LB yarns and always look forward to receiving their catalogs. There is always a lot of inspiration in the catalogs.

The other very useful item in the catalogs is the large color photographs of each yarn. This is especially useful, I imagine, for people who do not have the easy access I have to HL, Michael’s, and Joann’s. Having the color photos in hand is the next best thing to petting the actual yarn.

In this most recent catalog, the yarns are shunted off to the last 7 pages of the 55 page catalog. The color photos of each yarn are tiny – really too small to get a clear feel for each color. What are they thinking? Isn’t the catalog designed to actually SELL YARN??

Pages 1 through 39 of the catalog are covered with project pictures (mostly knit) with small insets of the yarns used in each project. While the project pictures are inspirational and will spike up the creative juices, I would much prefer larger displays of the yarns. That, coupled with smaller project photos, has been the mainstay of previous LB catalogs and I’ve gotten a lot of inspiration from them.
