Synchronous Thread is required to access Time Rifts around Zandalar and Kul'tiras. It is gained via the recipe in the Tools of the Trade quest line for Tailoring which requires 150 in Kul Tiran Tailoring to unlock it.

First and foremost unlike other profession tools you have to actually click the item in your bag to interact with the time rift, then it will channel for 1-2 sec.
Active Time Rifts will show up as a big yellow dot on your mini map, but look like swirling yellow vortexes similar to during the quest line.

You can receive Chronal Cache of Cloth which gives some cloth from a random expansion. It can summon a Chronal Anomaly which gives you a grey item worth a few gold. It can also summon a Time-Lost Trader which sells rare old world tailoring recipes for between 25-150 Embroidered Deep Sea Satin depending on the quality of the item.
Personally, I have found they have a 2-5min respawn timer. I haven't found there to be any diminishing returns farming them, I had the vendor appear at 2 out of 7 rifts.

Here is a list of locations I have found time rifts thus far and I will endeavor to keep updating it.
I have posted some screenshots which will help with locating them.

Geesh, 3 dungeon runs and a raid to get the mats for this thing!

In case it's not obvious you need to do the Rastakhan version of the raid to get Essence of the Troll Dynasty. Or at least I'm assuming it won't drop off of Jaina given the name, Wowhead uselessly doesn't say where it drops.

Edit: First time I used this thing I got absolutely nothing.... Yay!

Comment by sorceressdee

Essence of the Troll Dynasty is a drop from Dazar in Kings' Rest (last boss)
Essence of the Regal Loa is a drop from Rezan in Atal'Dazar (the dinosaur, technically third boss but most people kill him first)
Essence of the Depths is a drop from Viq'Goth in Siege of Boralus (last boss)
Essence of the Sands is a drop from Avatar of Sethraliss in Temple of Sethraliss (last boss)

These can be done on normal, heroic or m+0 difficulties to get the drops.

Comment by Bellabel

A very lackluster item to have. Get very little cloth from these "closed" portal and in the event you get a vendor you need to spend 100 Embroidered Deep Sea Satin to get an old world pattern that has no real value to transmorg collectors. This item should have given a passive state that augments normal game play rather than just being an exploration perk.

Comment by Tiefflieger

Just to be clear: Every Time-Lost Trader you get a chance to summon with this has the same set of recipies.
