Meet Halcyon (Yarn) Blake

Editor’s note: We like to read about exceptional people and products and think our readers do too. The image below is courtesy of Halcyon Blake – and should give an indication of the level of excellence that pervades not only her store in Maine, but her online shop.
Halcyon Blake is the person behind Halcyon Yarn. Not typical. She took her company online before the curve and ahead of the pack, adapted technology early for mail order (invented a “yarn store in a box” and trademarked the idea) – and knows the power of stunning images for her digital storefront. Profile in three parts.

Part one: Halcyon Blake, A Frontier, Behind The Name. Read profile.

Part two: Designs, Bath . . . and an online interview. More.

Part three: Exceptional yarns, book recommendations for canine companions or an appreciated gift. Read more.
