Shop In-Person! Open Every Friday

Shop In-Person! Open Every Friday

We’re Open — And We’ve Missed You!

We’re thrilled to welcome you back to Halcyon Yarn for in-person shopping every Friday, from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm!

After a longer-than-expected pause, it feels wonderful to open our doors again and see both familiar faces and new ones. We’re so grateful for your patience and support over these past few years — now we finally get to say it in person: Welcome back!

Come See What’s New

If it’s been a while since you visited, you’re in for a treat. Our beautiful building at 12 School Street in Bath has had some exciting updates. With nearly 4,000 square feet of creative inspiration, we’re proud to be New England’s largest local yarn shop!

We’ve expanded our beloved Wall-O-Fiber, made more room for yarns and tools, and we’re continuing to grow our inventory and in-store offerings. We're adding new demonstration equipment including spinning wheels (including an e-spinner), and several styles of looms.

While the “front room” is temporarily closed for renovations, it’ll reopen this fall as a new classroom and gathering space — with huge north-facing windows, a cozy heat pump, a full craft sink for dyeing and wet-felting, plus all the tools and space you’ll need to get creative and connect. We can’t wait to host a range of craft workshops, fiber meetups, and more!

Mark your calendar: our Annual Open House is returning this October — stay tuned for details!

Why We Were Away

Many of you have asked, so here’s the short version: when the pandemic hit, we closed the shop and classroom out of an abundance of caution. We expected a short break... but then life happened.

Among the unexpected: the owners welcomed a new baby, one of our major vendors defrauded us, and several team members faced health challenges. So, we hit pause, took care of each other, focused on our values, and regrouped at a sustainable pace.

We couldn’t have made it through without you — our incredible community of online and curbside customers, cheerleaders, and friends. Thank you for every order, kind note, and patient understanding. Your support kept us going and lifted our spirits at every step.

Planning Your Visit

We know many of you travel from near and far to shop with us — and we want your visit to be easy and enjoyable. We love dogs and food, but please plan to leave your pets and snacks elsewhere while you shop.

    •    Parking: Free customer parking is available in the Halcyon Yarn lot, just past our building. Please leave marked 'reserved' spots open for other tenants. RVs and larger vehicles can park parallel to the building on School Street — just pull up past the delivery entrance and park close to the building.

    •    Restrooms: While we do not have a public restroom in-store, there are clean public options nearby at the Visitor Center, Police Station, and Waterfront Park.

    •    Explore Bath: Our historic downtown is full of charm! Enjoy new local eateries, walkable streets, great galleries and shops, and nearby outdoor adventures. We’re right around the corner from the Maine Maritime Museum, beautiful parks, and lovely trails. Check out VISITBATH.COM for ideas on where to stay, eat, and explore while you’re in town.

Need help planning your trip or want to reserve something for pickup? Just give us a call — we’re happy to help!

We’re beyond excited to see you again. Come say hello, touch the fibers, dive into the colors, ask us questions, and share what you’ve been making — we’ve missed the show-and-tell!

🧶 Now open for in-person shopping Fridays, 10:00 am to 5:00 pm.
