NEW YORK (PRWEB) April 07, 2018 -- Lion Brand Yarn Company is excited to announce a licensing partnership with Crayola. This collaboration unites two brands known for their innovative exploration of color and creativity, with the shared belief in unleashing and celebrating the originality of every person.
