Local Yarn Store Day 2022!

 

This promotion has ended. Thank you all so much for making Halcyon Yarn part of your “local shopping” wherever you shop from!

Whether you’re around the corner, or across the country, we are so glad you’re a Halcyon Yarn customer – thank you!

This weekend we have great deals for you, wherever you are! Select items are on SALE, plus receive 10% off! The discounts automatically apply to both mailed and curbside pick up orders, and the standard free shipping for orders over $100 will apply.

We are so grateful to YOU, our many wonderful customers. As an overgrown LYS here in Maine we love connecting with fiber folks in every corner of the world. This weekend we’re saying a big “thank you!” to all of you who make every day a “Local Yarn Store Day” and a celebration of all things fiber.

See details below, and kick off the season with a new project – or just add to your stash. Now through midnight Monday!

Halcyon Yarn Guild Rewards Program

 

Guild Rewards Program – up to 5% back annually for your guild!

When placing orders at Halcyon Yarn (which we hope you’ll do often!) individual members of an enrolled guild identify themselves as a member of that guild and are matched up in our system. At the end of each calendar year Halcyon Yarn totals up the individual member purchases for each guild and sends that guild a check for 5% of those sales.

How do I participate?

• Earn rewards by doing one of the following:
  • Make a note of your guild in the “order comments” for online orders
  • Mention your guild over the phone

Check here for more details and to see if your guild is listed.

If not, work with your guild so it can apply to participate.

We look forward to helping support your guild and appreciate your doing so every time you shop at Halcyon Yarn!

Homestead Cotton Color Gamp Kits

 

Temporarily Sold Out! (Wow, that was fast!)

We’re so glad you like the project and apologize that we ran out of these kits faster than expected. If you would like to place a back order for this item we are glad to put you on the list and ship or contact you as soon as they are back in stock. We do not yet have an ETA, but we’re working on restocking as quickly as possible and will keep you updated! Please call or email with any questions or to place a back order.

NEW! Homestead Cotton Gamp Kits – special introductory price for a limited time!

Color Gamps give weavers a wonderful opportunity to better understand the interactions that happen when you blend colors. They’re both playful (yay rainbows!) and practical, plus you’ll create a set of functional items to provide both a color study reference and a pop of fresh hues in your home or studio.

Our newest color gamp project uses a simple 8/2 unmercerized cotton and the colors are more muted than many traditional primary color gamps. We love the softer palette and we’re eager to wind up our bobbins and roll out a picnic with these cheerful and instructive pieces.

Annual Sunshine Report!

 

Each year as we revel in these longest days of summer we like to share an update with you about some of Halcyon Yarn’s non-yarn environmental and social initiatives. Especially after the months of challenges and ongoing hardships faced by many it feels important to celebrate the power we each have to make our little corners of the world a little better, and also to reflect on how we can continue to improve. We believe business can – and must – be a vehicle for creating a better future. We appreciate that it’s your purchases that help make these initiatives possible, and we welcome your ideas for how we can continue to be a better company. Thank you for being a part of our journey and our sunshine!
