What’s old is new. Over 40 years ago, Halcyon Yarn created a yarn with a distinctively tight, pearly twist. Originally called “Scottish Tapestry,” this Aran weight 2-ply wool later became known as “Botanica.” Although this squishy, sturdy yarn was first developed for weavers, we couldn’t help but take our knitting needles and crochet hooks to it over the years.
Now with new pattern support for both knitters and weavers, we’ve given our old favorite a beautiful refresh…

For over 35 years, our unique Aran weight 2-ply yarn has provided us with warm, cozy sweaters that still look good after years of wear. The tight, pearly twist of Norumbega Yarn (previously known as Botanica) makes it impervious to pilling, and this Maine-made yarn is an excellent choice for hard-wearing sweaters and cold weather accessories.
The Norumbega Fall 2018 collection features three brand new sweater patterns. Check them out below!

When Fall is here and the cooler weather is upon us, I start craving an “instant gratification” project – something I can whip up in no time to welcome my favorite season in style. Of course, late summer/early autumn is also when a lot of knitters start counting the weeks (or knitting hours) left until holiday presents are due… Let’s get started!

We love the deep true blue of natural indigo dye and we think you will too! This Saturday at our Annual Open House try natural indigo dyeing in our community indigo dip.
Bring or buy items to dye… No need to prepare a thing, we’ll have a dye-it-yourself station set up for everyone to try for free.
Indigo is a dark blue natural dye that’s easy to work with. It dyes beautifully on all natural fibers – both plant (cellulose) and animal (protein). There is no need to pre-mordant or otherwise prepare your yarn or cloth, please just make sure items are clean. Prep space and all the basic tools will be available as well as guidance for trying different techniques. Indigo will dye a true blue on white bases or you can create great effects by overdying other colors or patterned items.
Indigo Sessions will be from 10:15 to noon & 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm in the School Street garage/loading dock.
White yarns and simple cloth blanks will be available to purchase, or you can bring your own. Indigo supplies will be available for sale as well if you just can’t get enough and want to try it at home!
