Windows of the Lion Brand® Yarn Studio is a book that celebrates the extraordinary window art from our flagship store in Manhattan. Each window is a story composed in yarn. The windows have recreated Alice in Wonderland, the Zodiac, scenes of New York City, and the Seven Wonders of the World, among many others. The imagery is brought to life in the details where yarn takes the center stage. Yarn is knit, crocheted, glued, felted, wound, and woven to create whimsical sculptures, characters and creatures.

The first year we had the windows on display, we noticed a curious pattern where lots of fingerprints on the outside of the window appeared at about 3 feet high. Eventually we realized that this was where children would place their hands on the windows to try to touch the fiber art within. Neighbors in the Union Square and West Village areas of New York - the area where Studio is located, would tell us that these windows made their day. Once the display changed, the story would disappear. With this beautifully photographed history of these windows, we can finally share these art pieces with everyone!

Called the “Queen of Beauty” and the most influential lone woman to impact the beauty industry since Estée Lauder by the New York Times, Leslie Blodgett’s story is anything but ordinary. As the CEO of BareMinerals, she reinvented how beauty was sold by tapping into the power of community before the idea of social media existed. In 2006, Blodgett took the company public in one of the largest cosmetic IPOs of the decade, and in 2010, the company was acquired for $1.8 billion. Pretty Good Advice is her next chapter. This refreshing book features 97 candid and entertaining insights on business, life, and beauty. Personal and often surprising, Blodgett dishes on leading with humor, why wearing blush and reading obituaries are two of the most optimistic things you can do, and why you owe it to your co-workers not to be boring. Pretty Good Advice is full of frank, actionable advice to help light a fire under you.
