Oh my goodness what a wonderful time we had here! A local business mentioned the Alpaca tours as…read moresomething fun to do with our grandson while we were in town, and I'm so glad she did. I began knitting two years ago and love alpaca yarn, and the thought of being able to meet the alpaca that I am knitting from just seemed so cute. Mike was super friendly and very informative. There were 8 total people in our group (our 5 plus a family of 3) and he was engaging with everyone. Our 5 year old grandson started out a bit unsure but Mike was very encouraging and our grandson was able to really open up. What a great experience for kids. The shop is filled with yarn from the alpacas, and they make sure that you have the name of the alpaca as well in case you need more at a later date. I mentioned we would be back later in the year and would love to take the rug making class and they let us know we can schedule that through them for a date that works for us, so if you don't see an experience listed for your dates, call them or send them an email because they will work with you!

Halcyon Yarn is one of my favorite yarn shops. It's definitely an old school knitting and weaving…read moreshop, still stocking a lot of yarn on cones, and having disproportionately more fine, synthetic, and cotton yarns as compared to a shop more focused on knitting -- because knitters tend to favor thicker, quicker animal fiber and synthetic yarns while weavers tend prefer lighter, finer cotton yarns. That said, they carry a respectable variety of classic New England wool knitting yarns -- Bartlett, Harrisville, Peace Fleece, Jaggerspun -- and a few of the trendier luxury yarn lines -- Debbie Bliss and Malabrigo, among others. But what I like most about them is actually criticized by other reviewers. As a male knitter, the thing I despise about visiting yarn stores elsewhere is the constant attention I get. There are stores I have walked out of without buying yarn, never to return, because the staff have stalked me around the store as I browsed as if they're afraid I will snatch a hank of cashmere and bolt for the door. At Halcyon, they nod at me when I walk in and then leave me alone to shop, trusting me to come up to the counter if I have a question. Other shops treat me as a freak or an idiot because I'm a male knitter; the staff at Halcyon trusts that I know what I'm doing. That said, every time I have had a question, the staff have been incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, and every time I visit the area and can make time, I visit Halcyon.
