We miss seeing you all in person, thanks for your patience!

We look forward to seeing you in-person again this summer and we will keep you posted as plans evolve and dates are confirmed.

We continue to offer the many great products and dedicated customer service you can always count on from Halcyon Yarn. We appreciate your understanding and continued support – thank you!

With the shortest day behind us now we have a lot to look forward to in the year ahead, and we look forward to sharing it with you.
