This April, Spring into Spinning!

April 1st, 2017 by Gretchen | Posted in General News |

In like a lion, out like a lamb…

Around here the expression that March comes “in like a lion and out like a lamb” is taken quite literally! There’s still snow here in Maine as April arrives so even the lamb’s are still bundled up! We’re welcoming you to spring with the wonderful and woolly world of spinning on drop spindles. After a cozy winter of spinning, April is a great time to stock up your fiber stash and get ready for a season of portable and beautiful drop spindle adventures. Sign up now for the email newsletter, and receive excellent spinning tips every week in April.

From our favorite fleeces, to unusual fibers, handmade spindles, and great educational resources, we’re excited to take you all for a spin!

This week:

• Spinning with the mysterious and mesmerizing Black Diamond Fiber

• Blending and spinning with Bamboo Fiber & Top

• For the weavers… A new Handwoven eBook Pattern Collection: Weaving For Baby

• Plus, don’t miss a great deal on Cascade Baby Alpaca Chunky – on sale now!

 

(Don’t miss a single special or intriguing article… Sign up for our email newsletter and discover the best of Halcyon Yarn delivered to your inbox each week!)
