Dear Halcyon Yarn Friends and Customers,

These are tough times and we want you to know that we are thinking of you. We hope that you are staying safe and continuing make beautiful things during the weeks ahead.

In accordance with the statewide stay at home order now in effect in Maine we have temporarily closed our retail store and our fulfillment center. We are unable to accept new orders at this time. We are sorry for the inconvenience, however the health and safety of our community, staff, and customers is our greatest priority. We’ll be ready to greet you again when this is over!

Many of our staff are working remotely, therefore we are unable to take your phone calls at this time. If you would like to contact us please do so through the contact link on our website and we will reply as quickly as possible.

If you haven’t already, please sign up here for our email newsletter.

This is the best way to stay in touch and to receive information and inspiration while we’re closed. We’ll all need a little color and creativity to get through this, we look forward to sharing that with you here and on instagram and facebook. Join us there now to receive updates, offers, and inspiration in the weeks ahead. Let’s stay in touch!

If you placed an order on or before March 31st we are processing it and will ship as quickly as possible, if there is an issue fulfilling an existing order we will contact you. Otherwise your order is on the way, but may be somewhat delayed.

Please contact us online if you have questions or would like further assistance. We will reply as soon as possible.

We look forward to staying connected as we all stay in and stay safe. During the closure we are working on new projects to keep you inspired, learning new things, and ready for more fiber arts in the months ahead.

We look forward to resuming regular operations as soon as it is safe and we are permitted to do so. Be well, be safe, and be kind to one another. We are grateful for all of you, our wonderful customers, and we look forward to seeing you again soon!

All my best,

COVID-19 Update: keeping crafty, healthy communities.

 

Update 4/1/2020:

Maine is updating it’s guidelines and directives for keeping folk safe in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. In support of this effort, Halcyon Yarn will need to close our sales operations for the time being. This is an evolving situation, further updates to follow. Thank you to our wonderful customers and community for your understanding and support!

Dear Halcyon Yarn Customers,

To protect the health of our staff and community we have made the difficult decision to temporarily close our retail shop in Bath, Maine.

We are fulfilling all orders online and are also glad to arrange curbside pick up by appointment.

For curbside pick up: Please call 207-442-7909 or 800-341-0282 and we will help you place your order and take payment by credit card. We cannot accept cash for pick up orders, we ask that you pay in advance over the phone. We will be taking calls between 10:00am and 5:00pm (EST) and will confirm pick up schedule and details with you then.

I am deeply grateful to our staff for their care, good spirits, and diligence, as we work together to fulfill your orders while maintaining stringent cleaning and safety steps. We appreciate the efforts you all are making to maintain public safety by observing public health guidance and looking for ways to provide mutual aid to your communities.

Thank you for your understanding, please call or email with any questions. We will return phone messages as quickly as possible. Things are changing quickly, please follow us on Instagram and Facebook for regular updates and further scheduling.

We realize it’s a privilege to be able to step back and take comfort in the “staying in” craft activities we love. Please, be extra kind and supportive of those who are isolated or cannot easily take that time. Consider this moment a respite if you can, and take comfort in the simple pleasures of making, and of giving. We’ll be staying in touch and we look forward to providing you with the best possible services and the comfort of the crafts we love in the weeks to come.

With best wishes for your wellbeing,

Gretchen Jaeger

Staying in, staying safe. Our statement on COVID-19

 

What a week it has been for everyone. We hope you all are staying safe and looking out for each other. As news and guidelines for COVID-19 are updated we will continue to respond to staff, customer, and community needs.

Looking out for your health & safety

Here’s what we are doing right now at Halcyon Yarn to keep our staff and customers safe and to make sure you can easily shop with us in the store and online:
• We’ve increased the frequency with which we clean surfaces in the store and hand sanitizer is available at the checkouts. Keyboards, phones, checkout areas, doorknobs and other high contact areas are on an even more frequent cleaning schedule.
• We’re installing an additional sink and sanitizing station for the safety of our fulfillment staff.
• Next week we’ll be rolling out enhanced ways to shop remotely and we’ll continue to adapt as we learn more. Please stay tuned and stay in touch if we can help improve your experience at Halcyon Yarn.

For the time being we will be going ahead with our currently scheduled classes, however if you are traveling a longer distance, are sick, or feel concern about coming in or attending a class or lesson please stay home. Just let us know so we can plan accordingly and discuss rescheduling. Our free drop in weaving and knitting groups are suspended for the rest of March and again, we will continue to update you as things evolve. Please watch your inbox for updates.

Your health and safety are of great importance to us, please reach out with any questions or concerns.

Staying In

We’re also staying home as much as possible and staying focused on the silver lining of time to spend with our families and time to work on our favorite crafts. We realize it’s a privilege to be able to step back and take comfort in the “staying in” craft activities we love. Please, be extra kind and supportive of those who are isolated or cannot easily take that time. Consider this moment a respite if you can, and take comfort in the simple pleasures of making, and of giving. We’ll be staying in touch and we look forward to providing you with the best possible services and the comfort of the crafts we love in the weeks to come.

With best wishes for your wellbeing,
