More in store…!
As many of you know we’re renovating here in the store and things are looking good! We are open our regular hours and, when the work is complete, we look forward to offering you more space for great yarns, space to plan projects, and opportunities for trying your hand at a variety of crafts in new demonstration areas. Early this summer we’ll also start hosting more weekly drop-in groups, including knitting “office hours” plus regular craft demonstrations.
Our regular drop-in groups are going strong and always welcome new faces:
(please call first if the weather is iffy or it is a holiday)
Monday Night Sit & Knit, weekly from 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Tuesday Twisted Spinsters, weekly from 10:00 am – 2:00 pm
Weave Share, third Wednesday of each month (please call to confirm if you’re new to the group!) 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Weaving Studio Space
Several of you have asked about renting loom time in the Halcyon Yarn classroom and we’re working on a studio rental program. For those of you who may not have space at home, aren’t sure whether a floor loom is right for you, or would just enjoy being in an inspiring environment with other fiber folks – this is for you. We’ll announce more details soon, so start looking at your calendars, dreaming up projects you’d like to try, send an email if you’re interested or have questions – and stay tuned!
Save the date! Saturday, May 6th – Mayfair Maker Fair
Welcome spring in historic downtown Bath with a citywide celebration and demonstrations! Bath’s annual Mayfair Celebration features yard sales, sidewalk sales, and new this year a Maker Fair. Throughout the day there will be dozens of free educational, crafting, and hands-on activities happening downtown and in the Library Park – as well as at Halcyon Yarn!
We’ll have a community tapestry weaving loom set up on Front Street, as well as spinning and felting demonstrations at the shop. It’s a great way to explore Bath and enjoy family-friendly activities all day long. For more details: visitbath.com
See you there!
