News from the farm: three gorgeous (natural!) colorways of our wool yarn as now available at Thimbleberry Yarn Shop in White Haven, PA. 🤩✨🤩 Top to bottom, they are fawn, fireside, and cream. They’re available in two-ply sport, and if the drive is too far, you can call the shop to purchase, and Lisa will mail it to you (you’ll pay shipping, actual cost with no upcharge). 570 401 3239 🐑✨🐏 Our gorgeous, very loved flock of Shetland and Icelandic sheep turn grass into stunning, soft, strong wool that we have made into yarn. 🤍✨🤍 We’re so grateful for your support, and the care you put into choosing sustainable textiles! 👏✨👏 #shetlandsheep #shetlandwool #icelandicsheep #icelandicwool #woolyarn #yarnlove #womenwhofarm #pennsylvania #fiberfarm #sustainablecloset #sustainableagriculture #knittersofinstagram #handweaversofinstagram

The freshest of the fresh - babies born moments before I captured this shot. Mama cat Elsie made a nest in an empty sheep maternity pen, and I can’t think of a sweeter place. 🥰 #farmcat #barnlife #farmlifebestlife

The flax is poppin’… along with the weeds. 😬 The growing season has begun! This year I’m trialing six varieties across garden-sized plots of about 6’x10’. By the looks of things, I have a lot of weeding ahead… #flaxtolinen #fiberfarm #handspinner #handweaver #growingflax

Peekaboo! The morels are popping, another great reason to go play in the woods.

This little cutie was born yesterday, bringing our lamb total to 58 so far. ✨ Today, I had a great time chatting with folks about sustainable textiles & what we grow on our farm (wool + flax). It felt like meeting a ton of new friends, as we’re all engaged in the same effort of making our closets more sustainable. 🥰 Many thanks to @fullcirclebio for bringing us all together! #shetlandsheep #womenwhofarm #fiberfarm #earthdayeveryday #sustainableclothes

So many babies! 🥰 This is why I hibernate all winter… resting up from harvest and getting ready for the work of the new season. It’s also why I haven’t returned texts/calls/emails in a while… #farmlife #farmlifebestlife #fresheggs #freerangechickens #babysnuggles

Surprise! Ducklings have hatched... To prevent kitty snacks, we moved them into a pen by themselves until they’re bigger. Credit for the find goes to A, who had planned to take a shortcut through the barn, heard peeping, and stopped to investigate. 🐣🥰 (These ducks are part of our flock, NOT from the wild.)

Harriet and I are loving all the name suggestions! My favorite part is learning about women I hadn’t heard of before - wow!! Keep the suggestions coming. 💃 Also, local friends: we are hoping to have lambs & moms on pasture this Sunday. 🙌 #womenofhistory #pennsylvania #farmhouse #shetlandsheep #farmlifebestlife

Welcome to the world, Harriet! ✨ This year’s naming convention for ewe lambs is “Incredible Women in History.” This little girl is named for Harriet Tubman. 💪👏 We started a list of names to use, but we want more suggestions. Who would you put at the top of the list? Drop a name & a few words about her so we can add more! 🙌💃 #shetlandsheep #farmlife #womenofhistory #pennsylvaniafarm #lifeslittlemoments
