While we prepare our website for our big announcem

While we prepare our website for our big announcement (watch this space!) we thought we’d share some favorite photos of the dogs of Henny Penny Farm! First off is Cassie, our 10-year-old Border Collie. She is the leader of the pack without doubt. She is quiet and a complete mush with all of the children that visit our farm, but if a rodent like an opossum or woodchuck crosses her path, look out! She moves between family dog and wolf mode instantly! Next up is Louie, the tri color border collie that joined us in August. He is about to turn 4 next month and is a boundless source of affection. Kinder and more playful than him they do not come. After weeks and weeks of trying to get Cassie to play with him he convinced her. Now our old girl, a true working dog through and through, runs and plays with him with such enthusiasm it is truly a joyful sight. And there is Clyde, the 11 month old English black lab. Clyde sees the world and everyone in it as something and someone to play with. He has gotten quite agile as he tries to keep up with the zigs and zags of two border collies. Louie is definitely the glue between Clyde and Cassie. Clyde is Ron’s ride-along work dog as he is a carpenter and Clyde occasionally like to pretend he is a herding dog here on the farm! #dogsofinstagram #workingdogs #bordercolliesofinstagram #labsofinstagram #englishblacklab #bordercollie #doglover #mansbestfriend #farmdog #farmdogsofinstagram #ctfarm #sheepfarm #sheepdog #herdingdog

Unveiling our new Li’l Darning Kits at New Engla

Unveiling our new Li’l Darning Kits at New England Fiber Fest this weekend. Inside you’ll find 3 reusable bobbins with our natural-dyed Romney yarns, 2 needles (one is sharp for sewing on fabric and one is blunt for knitted items), and a pair of snips/scissors. Pick the Brights or the Naturals collection. It’s a great little kit for mending or embellishing a treasured garment! #makedoandmend #mendingmatters #mending #naturalfibers #ridgefieldct #neff #newenglandfiberfestival #sheepfarm #americanromney

Look at these sumptuous colors from the dye pots at Keeler yesterday! Colors from foraged/collected Chestnut, Sumac, Smooth Rock Tripe Lichen and Marigolds. The natural glow of these colors is even better in person. So much fun to dye and they will be even more fun to knit with! #ctfarm #ridgefieldct #familyfarm #naturaldyersofinstagram #botanicaldyes #plantdyes #lichendyes #foragedyeknit

Friday fiber drying up for the weekend farmer’s market. Fresh from the vat and dye pot! We call them Coral Mum and Indigo Agnes #15 #naturaldyes #fermentationvat #indigo #botanicaldyes #fiberfarm #artisanyarn #newenglandfiber #americanromney #dorsetwool #ridgefieldct #romneywool #familyfarm

The colors of autumn abound in the studio today. Rose hips infusing for our gentle facial cleanser soap and madder and cochineal make the dye pot sing with our 1275 collection, 2-ply worsted weight Romney yarn. Not only is the color sumptuous but this yarn is balanced in spin, springy in hand and combines luster with a yarn that is still soft to knit with. #goatmilksoap #artisansoap #artisanyarn #farmyarn #naturaldyes #naturalsoap #handmadesoap #botanicaldyes #americanromney #romneysheep #romneywool #fiberfarm #ctfarm #familyfarm #artisandyer

I’ve kept this one under my hat for a while but

I’ve kept this one under my hat for a while but now that the 2022 calendar from @two.sheeps is now available, I can finally share about this colorway that I am so proud of. It was a true labor of love last February, hand dyeing pounds and pounds of wool locks and then @windover.farm mill painstakingly carding the multitude of colors to create this truly special worsted weight yarn. I chose to be February in the calendar because I’m a February baby, an Aquarius (probably explains a lot! 🤷‍♀️). And the best thing of all is the peers I get to stand shoulder to shoulder with in this calendar are top notch and many of my heroes for a long time. Grab one of these calendars over @two.sheeps and each month you get to learn about yet another amazing fiber farm and then the exclusive yarn becomes available on the first of that month. I can tell you that this Henny Penny yarn will never be recreated. It is impossible to do so. It is so nuanced by hand, capturing a moment in time. I am in love with this yarn, which is fitting because I named it “Love Sweet Love”! #customyarn #handdyedyarn #fibercollaboration #artisanyarn #farmyarn #fiberfolk #twosheeps #yarncalendar #exclusivecolorway #ctfarm #ctfarms
