Halcyon Yarn

New Yarns Are IN!

Sublime Organic Merino Wool is entirely organic and untreated - wool. It has been gently dyed using environmentally friendly products and methods. The subtle shades create a calm and tranquil mood. Feel safe in the knowledge that this is the most reassuringly gentle and soft yarn against your baby’s delicate skin or your own.

Extra Fine Superwash Merino yarn combines up-to-date easy care with a crispness that defines and highlights all your knit textures. The soft, springy yarn has a beautiful drape that will never feel rough or heavy. Wonderfully soft with the rich fashion colors. You will love using this yarn for all your DK projects.

Sari Ribbon… Dream of exotic and beautiful costumes… diaphanous, exquisite, and jewel like. Or how about just WOW! The adjectives for this lovely creature of a yarn barely do it justice. We know you’ll find lots of ways to make the most of a ribbon that looks like a Sari on a skein. Weavers can warp or weave with it. Knitters and crocheters can add sparkle to trim or really go all out to make an entire garment. The shimmer of water colors and sparkle and glitter add to its enchantment. Made in Turkey. Paint it on a background of glimmering Gemstone Silk or border a Silk Garden.

Fall Open House - October 11th - Don’t Miss It!

We really enjoy the annual Open House - the demonstrations, displays, and community camaraderie are something to behold. It is a real gathering of fiber artists from near and far, a chance to catch up, a chance to browse shelves overflowing, and, oh yeah, a chance to save on fine fibers! To see the enthusiasm reminds us why we love our jobs…

So come on over to 12 School Street, in Bath, Maine, on October 11th, from 9am to 4pm, and see what it’s all about!  We will have demonstrations of spinning, weaving, hooking, felting, knitting, and more, with opportunities to get “hands on” with fiber.

But this event is not just about browsing - we’ll be offering up discounts on every purchase. How much of a discount, you ask? Well, first I must know, are you feeling lucky? See, in celebration of the festive spirit of the day we offer discounts pulled out of a hat (or lollipop, as was the case last year). Minimum discount starts at a whopping 10% (hey, can’t go wrong, right?), and goes up from there… 15%…. 20%….. 25%…. whoa now, that’s some serious discountin’ action!!!*.

We hope to see you there! If you’re visiting from out of town (it is a great time to visit Bath and Mid-Coast Maine, by the way) check out accommodations and attractions at visitbath.com! In the mean time, check out this video from last year’s event:

* Discounts are in-store only, sorry no phone or internet orders, and do not apply to price level 3 or looms and special order items.
