(and other pertinent info)
Dear Friends,
Welcome! We hope you’ll find this latest catalog as fun and inspiring as we do – it’s our biggest yet! In addition to an amazing selection of yarns and fibers you’ll also find dozens of new books, patterns, tools and tips to help you create any project you can imagine!
The Table of Contents groups the yarns by weight and then alphabetically by yarn within each box. We’ve also listed our three digit
item number, an abbreviation for the specific gauge, the primary
fiber content, and the page number.
We’re featuring lots of patterns and books for every yarn and we
hope you’ll enjoy our suggestions. We’ve checked them carefully,
but please don’t “hurry up to go slow” – do a swatch and test your
gauge or sett before you commit! If you don’t see what you’re looking for take a look online at www.halcyonyarn.com. There you’ll
find lots of additional suggestions for each yarn as well as over 700
patterns and 1,200 books and magazines! We’re happy to guide
you through finding just what you need. Give us a call or email us
and you’ll find helpful answers to all your questions!
Inside the back cover you’ll find a pattern for stitching up a beautiful mock cable knit scarf using Malabrigo Merino (see pg. 49) or any
worsted weight yarn.
Need help ordering, calculating yardage, returning an item, or any
other knitty-gritty info? You’ll find plenty of answers, as well as an
order form, to mail or fax, on pages 42 – 44.
A gift from Halcyon Yarn is always a welcome treat and we offer
Gift Certificates in any amount. If time is short we can email a
copy to the lucky recipient when you place your order!

Casco Bay Signature Line
7 styles, 31 color ways...
Item 97 - Casco Bay Worsted
Item 98 - Casco Bay Sport
The soft, subtle texture and mellow colors of our Casco Bay Sport
and Worsted Cottons will be a welcomed addition to any weaver’s
or knitter’s palette. And it’s washable, making it ideal for easy care
children’s sweaters and baby blankets. The tiny criss-cross binder
gives just a hint of elasticity so welcome in knitting and crocheting
with cotton. Weavers can use Casco Bay Cottons alone in warp and
weft or in combination with many of our other fine yarns. Consider
it as pattern weft in overshot or summer and winter patterns. It’s also
an interesting weft for warp-face weaves.
Keep in mind with our entire Casco Bay line that when
working with bold or highly contrasting colors we
suggest sampling and testing for color fastness. It is
not uncommon for excess dye to be present in strong
colors. If bleeding occurs, skein the yarn, wash it until
the water runs clear and let it hang dry.

KNITTERS
Stylish yet casual, Block Island Blend makes beautiful, light weight,
warm weather clothes; knit a dressy sweater or a comfy weekend
pullover. Single stranded, Block Island Blend knits as a fingering
yarn; when doubled it becomes a sport weight. Machine knitters,
try a tension of 7-8 on standard machines.
WEAVERS
Block Island Blend is well suited as both warp and weft. Consider
combining it with many of our other wonderful cottons and linens.
It is an excellent choice for drapery, table linens, and yardage for
clothing or upholstery.
General Notes: The true characteristics of Block Island Blend are
best seen after hand or machine washing on the gentle cycle and
machine drying. Plan on 10% shrinkage when calculating the
amount of yarn you need. As always, we recommend sampling
before you start your project.

Soft & Delicate...
Item 255 - Misti Alpaca Lace
Create a beautiful knitting experience with this wonderful lace
weight yarn. This Peruvian baby alpaca has a softness and drape
that are extraordinary. And the smooth, velvety texture is perfect for
highlighting lace stitches.
Weaving Yarn Tip: a little trickier to use in warp because of
the loftiness and bounce. Fine in weft, or alternate in warp with
something less stretchy such as Jaggerspun 2/8 to give it a base.
Remember, any yarn with caution can be used for weaving.

JaggerSpun Yarns...
These versatile, high quality, fine, worsted spun yarns have become
staples for machine and hand knitters, weavers and crocheters. Made
in Maine of soft, fine wools, these mothproofed yarns are luscious
for clothing. As worsted spun yarns, they are smoother and more lustrous than woolen spun yarns, like Harrisville. They also won’t full as
much when washed and finished, so plan on a closer sett or tighter
gauge (finish your swatch in the same manner as you plan for the final piece to
determine if you like the result). Color lines are shown below with an x
indicating available colors.
Elegant JaggerSpun wool silk blends are shown on
page 35. Perfect for Knitters and Weavers they’re
available in two weights: Zephyr 2/18 lace weight or
DK weight. Indulge!
To determine sett [EPI] from WPI (wraps per
inch) use the following formulas for plain weave
WPI + 2, for Repp (warp faced plain weave)
WPI x 2, Balanced 2/2 twill WPI x .667
WEAVING
TIP
JaggerSpun Care Instructions: JaggerSpun yarns are dyed with the finest dyes possible and mothproofed for a long life. Excess dyes may be
present in some colors so sample first. If excess dye is present, skein the yarn and rinse until the water runs clear.
Dry cleaning is recommended, or handwash.

WEAVERS
•
•
•
•
Try as warp and weft in kitchen towels & table linens.
Often used in combination with Cottolin or Newport Linen.
Excellent choice as warp and tabby weft for overshot coverlets.
For pattern weft, we suggest 2/8 Maine Line Wool,
Harrisville 2-ply Shetland, Bartlett 2-ply sport weight,
or Cotton Fine.

Allow for 15% shrinkage when calculating weaving yardage. Also
beware of dissimilar shrinkage characteristics when combining with
yarns of other fiber contents in stripes or plaids. Be sure to alternate
threads of different fibers or use one as warp and the other as weft.
KNITTERS
• Double strand for sport weight gauge, triple for worsted weight.
Care Instructions: Be conscious of high contrast color combinations. If your sample suggests bleeding, pre-wash the yarn until the
water runs clear. To limit bleeding in a finished piece do not allow
it to remain damp for long periods of air drying; faster drying by
machine is preferable.

Luster, color, beauty and perfection. Halcyon’s Gemstone Silks are as
precious as their namesake minerals. Faceted stones with sharp lines
sparkle. Woven fabric with highlights of silk shine. Polished stones
reveal inner patterns of color and texture. Use silk to capture light
and add dimension as well as unsurpassable strength!
Gemstone Silks are made of the finest Chinese silk fibers. Spun in
Switzerland and dyed in the United States, these silk yarns meet
the highest industry standards. Keep in mind that silk has almost
no elasticity and minimal shrinkage. Silk will not full or “bloom” in
finishing.
WEAVERS
Use a denser sett than used for wools since silk doesn’t full.
KNITTERS
Ribbings probably won’t hold their shape to your liking so use hems
or similar edge treatments. Better yet, use a soft wool or wool/silk
combination for ribbings. Be creative and do gauge swatches to find
the best match-usually fingering to sport.

WEAVERS
• use as warp & weft for shawls, scarves, blankets, and outerwear
• alternate warp or tabby weft with Victorian Boucle or Victorian
Brushed Mohair for pattern in overshot or summer and winter
Weaving tip: If you’re having trouble maintaining your selvedges
in balanced weaves, especially with a soft warp and light tension, try
using a strand of Pearl Cotton as a floating selvedge. These threads
can be tensioned more tightly than the rest of the warp to maintain
width by adding a hanging weight, then pulled out before washing.
KNIT & CROCHET
• versatile sport weight yarn for hand and machine knitting
• low pilling adds to long life and durability
• especially nice in multi-color work
Knitting tip: Double-strand any two Victorian styles together on
#10.5 needles at 3 sts/inch for a personal “designer” bulky yarn.
A favorite silhouette for everyone, the Shawl Collar Cardigan or Coat
(shown right) will knit easily and hold its shape well in Victorian 2-Ply.
(Cardigan uses 5–6 skeins & Coat uses 6–9 skeins)

light and airy pieces with more rebound than you usually associate
with cotton. Textured stitches hold beautifully because of the 24-ply
cable structure, the broad color selection makes finding colors easy.

• Great for lightweight blankets and shetland style sweaters.
• Wide color range makes Shetland an easy choice for pattern weft
for overshot coverlets.
• Well-coordinated color choices, including subtle tweeds, are ideal
for finer weight Turkish and Fair Isle knitting designs.
WEAVERS For overshot you can use a warp of Homestead Cotton
or our 10/2 Pearl Cotton at 15 epi. For all wool fabrics and

WEAVERS Mix this yarn with the Superfine Merino, 2/30

much when washed/finished, so plan on a closer sett or tighter
gauge. Finish your sample swatch to determine the look and feel of
the finished piece.
Care: Dry cleaning recommended.
KNIT & CROCHET Hand knitters may prefer multi-stranding
Zephyr for larger gauges. Three strands equal a sport weight and
five strands a worsted weight. The mini cones are economical and
an ideal size for lace knitting projects. Many lace shawl designs can
be completed with just 2 or 3 mini cones at a cost of around $25.00.

A blend of Australian super fine merino wool and soft silk make this
yarn ideal for luxurious items that can be worn next to sensitive skin.
The wool/silk blend is warm for winter and cool in summer. Each
fiber absorbs dye a little differently which gives a shiny, intense color.
The sensous texture of this worsted spun yarn is smoother than
woolen spun yarns and won't full as much when washed/finished.
Plan on a closer sett or tighter gauge and finish your swatch to determine if you like the finished look. JaggerSpun is dyed with the finest
dyes possible and mothproofed for a long life. Excess dyes may be
present in some colors so sample first. If excess dye is present, skein
the yarn and rinse until the water runs clear.

Weaving Yarn Tip: Use cautiously as an accent in warp using a
4-6 dent reed to allow the slubs to pass freely, or use it freely in weft.
Knitters: It can’t get much lumpier, bumpier or more interesting
than this. It is a bit challenging but definitely fun and worth it. Your
sweater will be heavy but very interesting and warm as can be!
There isn’t a yarn with a bigger loop and a silkier mohair look.

Add Ripple to your knitting, weaving, or crochet to add texture to

cotton. Expect 10-15% shrinkage when washed.
Cathy has a wide mix of different textures along its length, including
slubs, bouclé, knots, and more. The resulting thick and thin sections.

Item 156 - Featherlight Merino 2/12
WEAVERS When weaving a worsted spun yarn, sett is particularly
important because you won’t be
fulling the finished fabric as you
would a woolen spun yarn. Your
sett should reflect the warp spacing
that you would like in your finished
product. We recommend weaving
a sample 6” wide at your estimated
sett. Then finish the sample piece
with a gentle washing, spinning, air
drying and a good pressing while
damp. You may want to weave a
larger sample and have it commercially pressed after washing if you
plan to tailor a garment. In figuring your warp length, plan an extra
10% on the warping board. Featherlight Merino is stretchy and will
shorten when taken off the board.

SO MUCH TO DO, SO MUCH TO SEE, SO MUCH TO FIND
AND NOT NEARLY ENOUGH HOURS IN THE DAY...
LET US MAKE IT EASY!
We want to help make your fiber experience more fun,
easier and efficient. In the information age that means more digitally accessible. So we will continue to improve our offerings
in the digital world and the fiber arts world. You’ll find our
website easy to use, fun and informative.
At www.halcyonyarn.com here is what you’ll see first:
It’s easy to navigate. If you’ve visited before and just want to know
about what’s new we provide updates highlighting new, exciting
and noteworthy products as well as information about special
pricing sales. Just click on “News”.
Sign up for our e-mail list to receive announcements of news
updates which occur about once a month.
IT’S EASY TO ORDER ON THE WEB
Enter the quantity in the box, pick attributes like color or size then click
“Add to Cart” sending your item to your personal shopping cart. Once
you’ve added all the items you want you can go to your cart, make any
necessary changes and then proceed to check-out.
You can stop shopping for a while at any time, if you need to do something
else. Come back within several hours and your cart will be waiting for you.
Because our website is able to change daily (unlike a catalog which, because
of cost, is limited to few times a year), Halcyon Yarn’s website is the most
up-to-date source for what you can find at your favorite yarn store even if
you can’t visit in person or call.
YOUR PRIVATE INFORMATION IS SECURE AND WILL STAY YOUR PRIVATE INFORMATION!
Many people are concerned about their valuable privacy and the security of their credit card information on the web. When you
use Halcyon Yarn on the web to make a purchase, all of your personal and credit card information is entered through and stores
on a secure server transmitting the information to us using 128 bit encryption. Our e-mail and postal mailing lists are used only by
Halcyon Yarn to contact you or to send you information of interest. They are never sold or exchanged with anyone in any format!
CAN’T ALWAYS PLUG INTO THE WEB? SEARCH OUR EASY TO USE CD-ROM DATABASE OF
OVER 1,500 BOOKS, PATTERNS, AND VIDEOS. PLUS COPIES OF OUR CURRENT CATALOGS.
Now, in addition to our web site you can have all this on a computer CD-ROM that has
our yarn and equipment catalogs in PDF format plus a “kiosk” style book/video/pattern program (with files for Macintosh and for Windows). This program is an exciting
development with a searchable database containing the almost 2000 books, videos, and
patterns which we keep in stock. That huge number makes it impossible to put all of
them in the catalog so this is the most practical way to tell you about them. It’s complete
and it’s searchable, allowing you to look for books or videos by author, title, craft, or
general description. The Pattern Search has the same capabilities plus the ability to
search by yarn weight (e.g. DK), suggested yarns (e.g. Peace Fleece), gauge, warps per
inch, and yardage needed.
We know that you will find our digital tools useful and enjoyable so relax and give them
a try. Remember... at Halcyon Yarn a friendly voice is only a toll free call away - where a
knowledgeable, “real person” wants to help you find the information you need.

HOW MUCH DO I NEED?
ounces = grams x 0.035
yards = meters x 1.0936
grams = ounces x 28.57
meters = yards x 0 .9144
Calculation Information for Knitters
These figures are meant to be used as a starting point. Knitters need to swatch, preferably with a swatch at least 4" square. A difference of half a stitch per inch can add up to an enormous size difference over a large number of stitches in coarser gauges. Not all yarns fit neatly into a category, but with adjustments to needle size you should be able to achieve the perfect gauge. See inside front cover
for important information about yarn size and gauge.

Knitter's Handy Guide
to Yarn Requirements
Here’s a simple worksheet we use around Halcyon Yarn to help people calculate basic
yardage for woven fabrics. This is a good estimator for balanced weaves. Pattern wefts
will need extra but can be calculated by the same method. If this is too daunting though,
don’t despair. Just write, email, fax or, better yet, call to talk to one of our friendly staff
who will be more than happy to help you with the math and planning. Please have basic
information handy such as the size and number of project items you are planning plus an
idea of the yarns you want to use. Special calculations apply for rugs which are best
estimated by weight per square foot.

Halcyon Yarn
Knit & Crochet
• corded appearance adds elegant finish to stockinette aran patterns
• customers rave about its ability to hold texture
• denser, with fewer yards per pound than a standard worsted weight
yarn so decide how much you’ll need based on yardage, not weight.
Weaving Yarn Tip
• Botanica is stretchy so when winding your warp on the board,
add at least 10-20% extra to the length of the warp because
the warp will shorten considerably when tension is released.
• When weaving, always release the warp tension before
measuring the picks of your weft. If you measure with your
piece under tension it will be inaccurate.
• Since worsted spun yarns do not full or bloom as much as
woolen spun yarns, choose an appropriate sett and beat
the weft as you want the finished product to look.

Subtle Shades of Softness
Item 16 - Fusion
Soft, subtle shading for easy color variation in scarves, sweaters and
hats. For luxurious mohair throws try Victorian Boucle (item #163,
pg. 58) in the warp and Fusion in the weft. Looking for more knitting
ideas? Try Fusion in your favorite bulky weight patterns.
Remember that due to the stickiness of mohair we recommend
spacing the warp farther apart than normal tabby sett and using a ski
shuttle.
Mohair has a very versatile gauge because the halo
will let it expand or compress to suit a variety of
styles while still maintaining its shape.

Item 118 - Alpaca Boucle
Few fibers compare with alpaca for softness, matched with affordability. Alpaca Boucle offers lots of soft and lofty texture for knitting,
crocheting and weaving. Substitute it for any boucle and enjoy the
beautiful blends of natural and dyed colors. It makes a soft surfaced
texture as a weft and weavers who are gentle can use it in warp as
well. Knitters and crocheters will love the results. Its loopy surface
shows best in simple patterns where the major interest is soft color
and texture as complex stitch patterns will not show.

Both natural grey and off white warps are available in 2, 3, and
4-ply styles. Worsted wool warps are suitable for any weft-face project
including rugs, wall hangings, Navajo designs and tapestry. Because
they are worsted wool they are both supple and very strong.
For tapestries choose the 2 or 3-ply warp and set it at 6-10 ends per
inch. Try Botanica (Item 15), Geo (Item 3) or Deco (Item 2) for the
weft. Ethnic geometric designs also work well at this sett.
For weft faced rugs, use the 4-ply wool single, or doubled for extra
body, at 4 ends per inch for tabby or 5-6 ends per inch for twill. For
weft, you’ll find every color you could want (almost) in Halcyon Rug
Wool (Item 1). Deco and Geo (items 2 & 3) may also be used but
double these yarns for a good weave.

Linen Warps
These are traditional warps for Scandinavian style rugs such as
rya and krokbragd and for many styles of tapestry. Linen warps
are stiffer than wool warps and give more body to your finished
piece. Use the 2, 3, or even 4 ply styles for tapestries and wall
hangings and use the 3, 4, or 5-ply single or doubled for your
heaviest rugs. Remember to twist or braid your warp ends as loose
fringes will quickly wear away. Consider the smoother finished
warps if your wefts are dark in color because the coarser linen may
fluff off a bit and leave lighter bits on the rug’s surface. On lighter
wefts it won’t be noticeable.

Care: These cotton yarns may be machine washed and dried. Use
cold/warm water and no bleach on the colors. Darker colors may
not be totally color fast. As always, when using highly contrasting
colors we recommend sampling and washing. If bleeding is a
problem, skein and pre-wash the yarn until wash water runs clear
and hang to dry. All colors will soften with prolonged exposure to
light and repeated washings.
Used by rug braiders across American for decades, this mainstay
for braiders is a quality cotton lacing cord available in three colors
- black, brown and natural. This #9 cord is 16 ends braided together

Braidkin - Lacer
For years, rug braiders have turned to Braid-Aid for high quality
braiding tools. All Braid-Aid tools are constructed of tempered
steel and zinc plated for smoothness and long life. Until 1947
when the Braidkin was introduced all rugs were sewn together
with thread and needle, a slow, painstaking effort. The Braidkin
needle has an exact curve and tip shaped to insert under the
loops of braid with ease and speed. The width and flatness keeps
it from rolling or turning as you lace; and the double eye prevents
thread from slipping. Great for use in knitting and weaving too!

Silk noil is the perfect choice when you want to add texture to your yarn. When spinning you
will find the characteristics of this fiber to be very similar to those of cotton. Be sure to put
enough twist in your yarn to insure its strength. Silk noil is short knots of fiber gathered from the
inner part of silk cocoons. It can be spun alone or try blending it with other fibers. If you are
looking for a wider color palette, you will be happy to know silk noil dyes well. We recommend
using the Wash Fast Acid or Country Classic dyes. (see our dyes at www.halcyonyarn.com)
343
Item 343 - Silk Noil
Cultivated silk is the finest of all fibers. Cultivated silk worms, Bombyx mori, eat only mulberry
leaves, which contain very little tannin, so their fibers are beautifully white. Perfect for dyeing,
blending and spinning. Knitters take note: Consider blending silk with wool or camel down for a
more “knittable” yarn, or use textured stitches and cables to help your piece hold its shape.
100% silk yarn tends to lose shape when knitted because silk fibers have very little elasticity. Silk
Worms, a children’s book by Sylvia A. Johnson, is an incredible source of information on the
natural history of the silk worm – great for kids of all ages, Halcyon Yarn item #49180000.

Tussah silk is produced by wild or semi-cultivated worms of the genus Antheraea. These worms
eat leaves of oak, plum, jujube or castor bean plants which contain varying amounts of tannin.
Depending upon the diet of the silk worm, tussah silk can range in color from off-white to light
brown. The fibers of our tussah silk top are a soft honey color. They are combed and ready for
worsted spinning or combining with other fibers.

Alpacas are domesticated animals of the South American Andes. Their fiber is stronger than most wools
and has a silky soft touch. Due to its strength, garments made from alpaca wear well. Staple lengths range
from 8–18 inches. For a lofty yarn hold your fiber loosely and add just enough twist to keep the fiber
together. Too much twist and your yarn will become wiry. Halcyon’s alpaca is available in four colors:

372
Mohair is the shorn fleece of the angora goat. Although natives of the Ankara province of Turkey,
angora goats were exported to Australia, America, and the Cape Province of South Africa during the
middle of the 19th century. The first clippings produce the finest fiber. Staple lengths range from 4–8
inches. Mohair is very strong and lustrous - perfect for rainbow dying. For a soft, silky fiber try Item
352, kid mohair. Doll makers often use item 354, washed mohair locks, to make beautiful wavy doll
hair and Santa beards.

A camel’s coat has two layers, a downy under layer and an outer layer of coarse guard hairs. The
guard hairs are separated form the down which is then made into sliver for spinning. Camel down has
a soft, fine texture comparable to merino wool. Fiber lengths range from 2–3 inches.

Item 391 - Cashgora Top
394
$10.13/oz ... 1 lb + $131.60 ... 5 lbs+ $113.40
Cashgora goats are a crossbreed of Cashmere and Angora goats. In general, their fleece is finer than
mohair but coarser than cashmere. Some of the undercoat fibers are fine enough to be considered
cashmere. During processing the guard hairs are removed and the undercoat fibers are graded. Staple
lengths range from 1–2 inches. Cashgora Top is available in natural white.
392
Item 393 - Super Grade Angora Top
346
Angora is one of the lightest and finest fibers, second only to cultivated silk. It is also one of the warmest. Angora rabbits, like Angora goats, were first domesticated in the Ankara province of Turkey. They
were exported to France and Belgium where they were bred to supply the textile industry during
the19th century. Staple lengths range from 1.5–2.5 inches. When spinning, a limited amount of twist
will keep your yarn fluffy.
$7.86/oz ... 1 lb + $102.20 ... 5 lbs+ $88.10
Item 346 - Rayon Top
347
The soft, smooth fibers of viscose rayon spin into a lustrous yarn. Although silk-like in appearance,
rayon is a cellulose fiber chemically similar to cotton. Its soft hand makes it a pleasure to spin.Try it
alone or blend rayon with other fibers to add a beautiful sheen. Staple lengths range from 4–5 inches.
Rayon takes cold water, fiber reactive dyes well, so you can create unlimited colors.
$1.41/oz ... 1 lb + $18.30 ... 5 lbs+ $15.70
Item 392 - Chinese Cashmere Top
Item 394 - Light Brown Cashmere
Cashmere, the soft undercoat of cashmere goats, is a true luxury.
Since each goat yields less that 4 ounces of cashmere a year it is
extremely expensive. The majority of today’s cashmere is produced
in northwest China and other areas in central Asia. Fiber lengths
range from 1–1.5 inches. When spinning, lightly cradle a handful of

Wensleydale is a favorite among spinners. The average staple length ranges from 8 – 12 inches. It is
well suited for spinning from the fold or you can simply pre-daft and spin. Since Wensleydale has a
tendency to spin into a fairly dense yarn, you may want to blend it with another wool top. Yarns spun
from Wensleydale wear extremely well, making it a logical choice for items that get heavy use, such as
socks and mittens.

Our needle felting fiber is carded romney. The fiber is a bit more coarse than the fibers from traditional
breeds used in wet felting, such as merino. This is advantageous in needle felting because coarser fiber is
less likely to show holes. But don’t limit its use to needle felting. It can easily be used in traditional wet
felting too. Just be aware that the finished felt will be more rustic in appearance. The fiber is packaged in
