National Weaving and Spinning Week & “OPEN HOUSE” @ Halcyon Yarn
National Weaving and Spinning week, a decades long tradition in the fiber arts world, is October 5th – 10th this year. At Halcyon Yarn we are featuring activities honoring the crafts and topping it off with our Annual Open House held in conjunction with Main St Bath’s Autumnfest Celebration.

Weaving and Spinning Week at Halcyon Yarn will be a celebration of weaving and spinning times three:
First the “Twisted Spinsters” of Halcyon Yarn will do a “Show and Spin” from 10am- 3pm, October 6th. They will gather to share their spun yarns, rovings they’ve dyed, projects they’ve created, and to share just being together to celebrate the day. Drop in, bring your wheel or spindle, and any items you’ve finished throughout the year.
Second, enjoy an evening with our master weaver and friend Michael Patterson, as we get together with weavers in our classroom. Join the gathering from 5pm- 8pm whether you are a novice or expert weaver and submerge yourself in conversation and craft. Bring any “show and tell” you would like to share along with your creative ideas.
**For both of these events we’ll be hosting the fun with decadent fall cookies from Marnees, and hot and cold apple cider as we honor the weaving and spinning crafts and the people who do them.
Lastly, but truly not least, we’ll be joyously celebrating fiber with our Annual Open House, October 10th, 2009 from 9am-4pm. During this once-a-year special event we open our doors to share demonstrations in all the fiber arts, delicious seasonal goodies, and a fun filled day of fiber extravaganza… plus generous discounts.
Mark your calendars and plan to stop in for a visit or come for the day, it’s always a treat to gather here at Halcyon Yarn!
We look forward to seeing you and sharing this time together.

I live in Arizona and mail order my rug yarns from your catalog. My friend and I were able to stop by your store this summer when I was on my way to rug hooking camp. You have a great shop and everyone was very helpful. I wished I lived closer so I could stop by more often. It was a very enjoyable day and I have a lot of fiber to work with for a while.
