Mainers are some of the craftiest folks out there. From knitting to just about anything with fabric, give an idea to a Mainer and you might not see them until they’ve completed the entire project…in record time. This craftiness is why we’re not surprise to find so many stores to help locals hone their skills. From massive fabric stores to this wonderful yarn store, there’s no reason not to complete those dream projects this year!
If your face beams and your heart soars when you look around and see a home full of yarn, you’ll be in heaven at Halcyon Yarn in Bath.

Halcyon Yarn has been in operation since 1971, first in Denver and then finally right here in Maine.
Halcyon Yarn / Facebook Owner Halcyon Blake has been sewing since the age of ten and weaving since college. She graduated as one of three women in her 1969 class at Stanford University’s Graduate School of Business. Eventually, she took her business knowledge of love of all things yarn and opened the store in Denver. Ten years later, the operation moved to Bath and the rest is history!
Today, Halcyon Yarn is the best place to not only find supplies but to learn.
