A Wrinkle in Thyme Farm awrinkleinthymefarm.com Incredibly soft home grown Maine fiber for knitters, spinners, weavers and felt artists. These sheep are bred especially for soft fiber.

A Wrinkle in Thyme Farm is a women-run, diversified farm specializing in wool products from our sheep, maple syrup, meat, eggs, and education. The farm name comes from Madeline L’Engle’s idea of tesseract, or time travel. At A Wrinkle in Thyme Farm, we like to do things the old-fashioned way when we can. We use a draft horse for collecting sap for maple syrup, dye wool with plants from the farm, bake bread in our outdoor earth oven, and teach people to spin and knit their own yarn. Our flock of sheep includes Bilbo Baggins, our three-quarter Finnsheep ram, and a bunch of friendly Border Leicester, Finn, and Romney cross ewes. Our farm store offers you the luxury of wool from animals you can meet, processed in a sustainable manner, and spun locally in Maine. We shear, wash, dye, and card the fiber right here on the farm. We have a large variety of 100% wool yarn dyed with both acid and natural dyes. We also have angora-blend yarn with locally sourced angora, Thyme Tile needlefelting kits, fiber art created by Marty, roving, batts, raw fleeces, knitted items, patterns, and more. We offer fiber CSAs and an Adopt-A-Lamb program as ways to support the farm throughout the seasons. Workshops and retreats at the farm include Yarn and Yoga weekends, dyeing classes, needlefelting and wet felting classes, tours for school groups, and weekly knitting groups. We love sharing and teaching about our farm. We invite you to come visit (just call ahead), and see everything that’s happening here. Find us online at www.awrinkleinthymefarm.com

Baaaaaaa! Swipe to see our sheep showing off their curls and crimp as they get ready for fall shearing—next Monday, October 19 🐑

You are invited to gather for a day of hands-on learning as the flock gets their summer fleece sheared! Whether it’s your first shearing day or your hundredth, come learn about evaluating a raw fleece, help skirt freshly shorn fleeces to remove debris, or assist in the barn with the animals.

Join us at the farm from 9:30am to 2pm with a potluck lunch (and maybe some skirting songs)! See you there ☺️🍂🍎

Marty, our artists in residence Becky and Denelis, and friends of the farm spent yesterday demonstrating fiber craft—spinning, carding, rug hooking, and more—at the Rumford Center Meeting House to support the restoration of this historic building. So much fun sharing the tradition of fiber art, plus all sorts of games and treats!

We had a blast at our natural dye workshop last week! 🌾🌿🌼 Participants of all ages foraged for jewelweed and goldenrod, and harvested Japanese indigo from our garden to create a beautiful range of colors from plants on the farm 🧡💛💙 We learned about mordanting, ice dyeing (with fresh indigo), and modifying with iron, and had lots of fun with the science and magic of dyeing!! 🐑
