Holiday shipping and Elf Notes for backorders

At Halcyon Yarn we know just how important the arrival of that special gift during the holidays can be. We’d like to help you avoid the last-minute panic of “Will it get here in time?!!!” by informing you of all the important shipping dates. We’d also like you to know about our holiday hours, and our “Elf Notes” for items that simply couldn’t make it there on time (backorders :-).

What is an Elf Note? Well, say you want to get someone a super special spinning wheel, or loom, and we have to special order it… If it doesn’t look like it’ll make it under the tree in time, we can make up a special note saying “our elves are working on this special gift for you”, that includes a photo of the item in a festive template. We’ll email you a pdf of the note and / or ship you a printed copy to put under the tree. Feel free to call us (800-341-0282) or make a note at check out if you’re interested in this free service.

Here’s the shipping nitty gritty:

Wednesday December 17 is the last day for UPS Ground to make it to the West Coast by December 24. After that you will need expedited shipping. But don’t wait if you can help it. ***The truth is, during the Holiday Shipping Season (Dec. 11-24), our shipping carriers will not guarantee delivery dates, expedited or otherwise.***

  • Friday December 19 is the last day to order expedited service with 3 Day Select and have it arrive December 24. (3 Day Select is not considered an air parcel and is NOT a guaranteed delivery at anytime of year.)
  • Monday December 22 is the last day to order expedited service with Second Day Air and have it arrive December 24.
  • Tuesday December 23 is the last day to order expedited service with Next Day Air and have it arrive December 24.
  • Wednesday December 24 is the last delivery day.

As we get down to zero hour we encourage you to call us at 1-800-341-0282 and place your order. If you speak with us directly we can verify stock and confirm details with you on the phone. We’re fully staffed Monday thru Friday 8 am thru 6 pm EST, and you can leave a message on Saturday and Sunday and we’ll get back to you on Monday.

If you are in the Mid-Coast Maine area and can stop by, our retail store in Bath is open Monday thru Friday from 9 am thru 6 pm,  Saturday from 9 am until 4 pm. Through December 31st we’re open Sunday afternoon from noon thru 3:30 pm too. Please note December 19th we will open at 10:00 AM.
