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… 
(Re)Introducing: Norumbega Yarn.
