Weaving Guild Affiliate Program
Weaving guilds are the heart and soul of many weaving communities around the country, and we are pleased to offer a way for you to support your weaving guild and buy fabulous yarn and weaving equipment from us in the process.
To be eligible, a Weaving Guild must be located in the United States, registered as a 501(c)3, have a website, and have a PayPal account. Your Guild can apply here, and upon acceptance will be given a special link to our website. The Guild can include this link on your website and in email newsletters. The Guild will receive a 5% donation of all purchases made directly through this link. Payments are made by PayPal at the end of each month.
Please note that we cannot apply credits after the fact for purchases, so please make sure your Guild members know to use your link each and every time they shop for your Guild to receive the donation.
Halcyon Yarn has just started a Rewards Program for Guilds where we can earn 5% of all our guild sales. Earn rewards by: Making a note of your guild in the “comments” box for web orders. Mention guild name (Desert Fiber Arts) on phone orders. Mention guild name in store. Don’t want to remember to note your guild? Quick solution: click the guild name to set a “cookie” in your browser so that your order will automatically be noted with your guild. Better solution: If you are signed into a Halcyon Yarn web user account, and you click a guild link, that guild will remain associated with your account whenever you log in!
