C&T Publishing is distributing Leisure Arts, effective January 1.
Leisure Arts publishes in the areas of lifestyle and craft instruction, offering books, digital downloads, and kits for crochet, knitting, cross stitch, quilting, and more. It has inspired makers of all skill levels with step-by-step guides and projects, especially through its popular beginner-friendly Little series. The partnership will add a backlist of 1,150 titles to C&T's catalog.
C&T publisher Amy Barrett-Daffin welcomed Leisure Arts "into the C&T Publishing family," adding, "The acquisition is a transformative moment for us, instantly expanding our reach in the mass market and providing an enormous, high-quality backlist of beloved titles in crochet, knitting, coloring books, and needlework. This significantly broadens our ability to serve the entire spectrum of crafters, securing C&T's position as a dominant force across the entire craft publishing landscape."
