Yarns by Fiber Content

Fiber content, it doesn't get much more fundamental when looking for a yarn. Good yarns are carefully designed to have a certain hand and color. These characteristics are attained through fiber and dye selection and the spinning process. Pure or blended, the fiber content of a yarn is key to your enjoyment of both process and end product. Exotic and new, or familiar favorite, we are always on the lookout for the fibers that will keep you happy!

We have put together a page with some quick-information on yarn fibers, worth a gander for the curious!

We are a bit unusual or "old-school" in that sample cards are an important part of our business. They allow our customers to see the true colors, feel the yarn, and learn more about each individual yarn in a "tactile" and visual style that simply can not happen any other way... Unless you visit us in the store! Until then, try a sample card, and we hope you enjoy searching for yarns as much as we do!

“ Once again, I am very pleased with my shopping experience at Halcyon. On-line ordering was easy and received product quickly. Ordered an additional cone of JaggerSpun Supperfine Merino yarn to finish a beautiful, lace shawl I'm knitting for a friend. Love your store, your products and your attention to customer satisfaction! Almost as good as shopping in an actual store! Thanks! ”
