New Weaving Yarn – Cotton Boucle
A favorite for weavers, Cotton Boucle by Maurice Brassard is now available in 36 colors. On its own or combined with 8/2 Homestead Cotton or Cottolin, you’ll want to try it for kitchen towels, adding texture to woven yardage, or as a great lightweight scarf yarn. 100% Cotton, the look only improves with washing. It’s available in either half pound spools or convenient mini-cones so you can enjoy the full range of colors without breaking the bank.
At about 34 WPI (wraps per inch) it can easily be substituted in many projects calling for an 8/2 Cotton, or Cottolin. The texture gives you a little extra wiggle room to experiment with a tighter or looser sett and still achieve an attractive and stable cloth.
Keep your eyes out for new kits coming soon, and in the meantime the printed copy of Handwoven’s A Dozen Projects in 8/2 Cotton, offers some starting points for trying out this great yarn!

Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at Halcyon Yarn!
Searching for the perfect last minute gift for a special mother or mother figure in your life? Whether it’s your mom, grandmother, the mother of your child, or someone wonderful who nurtured you (maybe you have a weaving or knitting “mom” who taught you the craft?) we’re here to help with a Gift Certificate for that special someone!
How many of you learned your craft from a mother, grandmother, or other mother figure? Or maybe it’s your turn to share and there’s someone you’re teaching your favorite fiber art? A Gift Certificate for them and the opportunity to spend time on a project you plan together could be just the right way to connect!
That’s what being a mom is all about, sharing what you know, having fun together, instilling skills in another generation, nurturing traditions, and making the time to spend with someone you love. For many of us fiber arts are at the heart of skills shared and time well spent!

We are happy to email the recipient a colorful digital Gift Certificate with your personalized message in plenty of time to celebrate Mother’s Day this Sunday, May 8th!
