- For Sale: Halcyon Rug Wool April 9, 2013
I bought some lovely Halcyon rug wool at the CHH Silent Auction. I realized I would need a couple more pounds for my project so I did a web search and found some more. The only catch was that I had to drive 9 hours to get it and there was almost 300 pounds of it. I now need to sell some of my over-abundance of beautiful extra-bulky weight 100% wool, spun in America from Halcyon in Maine or the now-closed Wilde Wool in Philadelphia. Red, turquoise, bright light green, orange or cream. It currently retails at $11.95 for 4 ounces or almost $48/pound. Only $20 per pound. I live in Clear Lake but can meet at the Guild House.
