A Colorado
woman who started a craft publishing company and sold it 15 years ago has
purchased three of the titles she launched, the Loveland Reporter-Herald reports.
Linda Ligon
launched what became Interweave Press in 1975. The company eventually produced
seven magazines, along with books and websites, the Reporter-Herald says. Ligon
sold to Aspire Media in 2005. Ligon and two others have now started a new
company, Long Thread Media.
On Aug. 1,
the Long Thread team bought Spin Off, Handwoven and PieceWork, which were
available because of the Chapter 11 bankruptcy of F+W
Media , whose titles on a number of topics were auctioned off, the
paper reported.
Peak Media
Properties purchased the crafts and arts entities of F+W and then sold the
three titles to Ligon and team, the paper said. Peak also took over the reins
at F+W Media’s operations in Fort
Collins .
The name
Interweave stays with Peak Media, which will produce Interweave Knits,
Interweave Crochet and the website interweave.com.
The Long
Thread Media publications will be printed by Wisconsin-based Quad/Graphics,
Ligon said.
