BLUEBERRY 2 ~ Organic Merino Wool Fleece fabric

€40,80 Save €-40,80

Yep, it is as soft and fluffy as it looks! A stunningly soft organic merino wool fleece, extremely soft yet thick and well wearing. I made myself a blanket out of it last year and there isn't a night I don't snuggle up in it. Under the duvet in winter, without a duvet in the summer. I can only highly recommend it. 

Merino Wool Fleece is suitable for:

High quality Italian organic merino wool fabric, this lovely organic wool fabric is perfect for the colder months of the year. Beautifully warm, like any felted wool fabric, the cut edges don't fray, no seams necessary.

Warm, but breathable, this would make a lovely cardigan, dress, waist coat, cape, jumper, skirt, coat, jacket, poncho, shawl, leg or hand warmers, children's clothing and even cushion covers or blankets. Also sleeping bags for babies or hot water bottle covers can be made from this fabric.

Endless opportunities and even off cuts can be used for decorations.

CORRIE 100% Wool | Naturally Dyed

€19,00 Save €-19,00

CORRIE

100% Wool | DK Weight | Naturally Dyed

Corrie is a soft, velvety single-ply wool yarn, spun in Peru and naturally dyed at AppleOak FibreWorks using sustainable natural dye methods.

Its smooth, gently spun structure allows stitches to settle evenly whilst maintaining softness and flexibility. It moves easily on the needles and knits into garments with a fluid, relaxed drape.

Corrie was developed as our first naturally dyed DK-weight yarn — lighter than our chunkier Stockholm yarn, yet equally satisfying to work with. It is especially well suited for sweaters, scarves, and garments worn close to the skin.

From sheep to finished yarn, the fibre and spinning are completed entirely in Peru. The final natural colour is applied in our dye studio using low-impact, sustainable dyeing methods drawn from traditional natural dye practice.

Each skein carries depth, softness, and the quiet variation unique to colour drawn from nature.

In a nutshell

Fibre: 100% pure wool
Yarn type: single ply (Nm 2/1)
Weight: DK weight
Length: 200 m per 100 g skein
Skein weight: 100 g
Recommended needle size: 4 mm

Origin: Wool sourced and spun in Peru 🇵🇪
Colour: Naturally dyed at AppleOak FibreWorks, Ireland 🇮🇪

What it is ideal for

• Sweaters and cardigans
• Shawls and scarves
• Hats and accessories
• Naturally dyed knitwear
• Soft everyday garments

Character

Corrie is softly spun and velvety, allowing for smooth knitting and gentle drape. The single-ply structure creates softness and cohesion whilst maintaining strength.

Natural dye colours develop depth and subtle variation, giving each skein its own quiet character.

Care

Hand wash gently in cool water
Reshape whilst damp
Dry flat

Avoid prolonged direct sunlight when drying.

Shade continuity

Each skein is dyed using traditional natural dye methods. Subtle variation between skeins is a natural and valued characteristic of natural dyeing.

For larger projects, we recommend alternating skeins during knitting.

Colourways

Each colourway is naturally dyed at AppleOak FibreWorks using traditional natural dye sources. Colours reflect both the Irish landscape and the materials from which they are created.

DONEGAL TWEED | 100% Wool | Spun in Donegal

€8,50 Save €-8,50

DONEGAL TWEED YARN 

100% Irish Wool | Aran Weight | Spun in Donegal 🇮🇪

There is a particular honesty to Donegal tweed.

Born of landscape, weather, and generations of textile tradition, this yarn carries the quiet complexity of the Irish coast — soft greys, moss greens, ocean blues, and the subtle flecking that defines Donegal's characteristic landscape.

Spun and commercially dyed in Kilcar, Co. Donegal, this is an authentic Irish Aran-weight yarn made from 100% pure new wool. It is warm, durable, and deeply satisfying to knit with — the kind of yarn that settles into garments made to be worn for years.

Whether you are knitting a traditional Aran jumper or a contemporary everyday piece, Donegal tweed brings depth, texture, and heritage into every stitch.

In a nutshell

  • Fibre: 100% pure new wool
  • Weight: Aran / worsted weight
  • Length: 80 m per 50 g ball
  • Ball weight: 50 g
  • Recommended needle size: 4 mm (US 6 / UK 8)
  • Origin: Spun and dyed in Kilcar, Co. Donegal, Ireland 🇮🇪

What it is ideal for

• Traditional Aran jumpers
• Sweaters and cardigans
• Hats, scarves, and mittens
• Durable everyday knitwear

Character

Donegal tweed is known for its heathered base and distinctive flecks, created during blending, carding and spinning. These subtle variations give finished garments depth and life, and connect them to a long Irish textile tradition.

Care

Hand wash gently in cool water
Reshape whilst damp
Dry flat

Shade continuity

As with all traditionally spun yarns, subtle variation exists between dye lots.
If working on a larger project, we recommend ordering sufficient yarn to complete your garment.

Colourways

Available in a range of traditional Donegal tweed shades, each reflecting the colours of the Irish landscape.

ÉRIU DK SOFT

Irish Wool Blend | DK Weight | Naturally Dyed in Ireland 🇮🇪

Ériu DK Soft is the gentlest expression of our Irish wool yarn — soft, luminous, and deeply connected to place.

Made from Ériu's signature blend of Romney lambswool and Bluefaced Leicester wool, this yarn balances softness with durability. Romney provides strength and structure, whilst Bluefaced Leicester contributes smoothness, elasticity, and its characteristic gentle sheen.

The wool is sourced directly from Irish farms, including small flocks and a growing fair-trade network of farmers across Ireland. From fleece to finished yarn, Ériu reflects a commitment to regional fibre, traceability and textile heritage.

Softly spun and beautifully balanced, Ériu DK Soft creates garments with smooth stitch definition, gentle drape, and lasting resilience.

Each skein is offered either in its pure undyed form or naturally dyed at AppleOak FibreWorks using sustainable, traditional natural dye methods and organic indigo.

LÁSA

100% Wool | Lace Weight | Naturally Dyed

Lása is a uniquely fine yarn in our range — delicate, luminous, and deeply responsive to natural colour.

Traditionally considered a weaving yarn, its exceptionally fine structure and strength make it equally suited to lace knitting, held double knitting, or carried alongside other yarns to add depth and subtle colour variation.

Its smooth surface allows natural dyes to penetrate deeply, producing rich, saturated colours with beautiful tonal depth whilst remaining softly semi-solid.

Though fine, Lása retains strength and cohesion, making it a joy to work with for lace makers, weavers, and knitters drawn to delicate structures.

The wool is sourced and spun entirely in Peru. Each skein is then naturally dyed at AppleOak FibreWorks using traditional, sustainable natural dye methods and dye materials.

In a nutshell

Weight: Lace weight (2-ply)
Length: 1000 m per 100 g skein

What it is ideal for

• Fine and delicate garments
• Holding double with other yarns
• Lightweight textiles
• Detailed textile work

Character

Lása is exceptionally fine yet strong, allowing for delicate structures with excellent durability.

Its smooth surface produces deep, luminous natural colour with subtle tonal variation. When held double or combined with other yarns, it adds depth, softness, and colour complexity.

Care

Hand wash gently in cool water
Reshape whilst damp
Dry flat

Avoid prolonged direct sunlight when drying.

LIMA Wool, Tussah Silk & Linen | Naturally Dyed

€29,00 Save €-29,00

LIMA

Wool, Tussah Silk & Linen | Sport Weight | Naturally Dyed

Lima is a quietly complex yarn — combining softness, structure, and light with the subtle texture of plant and silk fibres.

Made from a balanced blend of wool, tussah silk, and linen, Lima offers strength and breathability alongside gentle lustre. The tussah silk, often called peace silk, is produced after the silk moth has naturally emerged from the cocoon. This creates a slightly more textured fibre, which interacts beautifully with natural dyes.

The addition of linen introduces a delicate speckle and gentle irregularity, giving the yarn visual depth and character.

Soft yet structured, Lima is especially suited to garments for warmer seasons, offering comfort, breathability, and durability.

The wool is sourced and processed in Peru. Linen from South America and tussah silk from China are blended and spun with the wool in Peru. Each skein is then naturally dyed at AppleOak FibreWorks using traditional, sustainable natural dye methods and organic dye materials.

In a nutshell

Fibre: 50% pure wool, 25% linen, 25% tussah silk
Yarn type: 4-ply (Nm 14/4)
Weight: Sport weight
Length: 350 m per 100 g skein
Skein weight: 100 g
Recommended needle size: 3 mm

Origin:
• Wool from Peru
• Linen from South America
• Tussah silk from China

Production: Spun in Peru 🇵🇪
Colour: Naturally dyed at AppleOak FibreWorks, Ireland 🇮🇪

What it is ideal for

• Lightweight sweaters and cardigans
• Shawls and scarves
• Summer garments
• Naturally dyed knitwear
• Breathable garments with structure

Character

The combination of wool, tussah silk, and linen creates a yarn with gentle sheen, subtle texture, and natural strength.

The silk contributes softness and lustre, whilst linen introduces visual texture and durability. Natural dye colours develop depth and variation across the blended fibres, creating rich and complex tones.

Care

Hand wash gently in cool water
Reshape whilst damp
Dry flat

Avoid prolonged direct sunlight when drying.

Shade continuity

Each skein is dyed using traditional natural dye methods. Subtle variation between skeins is a natural and valued characteristic of natural dyeing.

LOGWOOD DYE ~ Cut & Ground

€8,50 Save €-8,50

Logwood Dye

Dye Colour: Blue, Purple & Black | Collected in the Wild in Haiti

Logwood (Haematoxylum campechianum), also known as Bois de Campeche or Campeachy Wood, is a natural, pH-sensitive dye that originates from wood found in Central America. This versatile dye creates stunning blues, purples, and deep blacks on wool, cotton, and silk. While its colour fastness is considered poor by experienced dyers, Logwood is commonly used in combination with other dyes to achieve rich, deep blacks. Perfect for eco-conscious artists, Logwood is available as cut or ground bark for your dyeing projects.

Colour Fastness: Poor (best used with other dyes for black)

Product Details:

  • Dye Colour: Blue, Purple, and Black
  • Perfect for: Wool, cotton, and silk
  • Mordant: Alum (10%) for best results

Basic Recipe (Using Ground Bark):

  1. Ingredients:

    • 65g Logwood bark (soaked for 2 days)
    • 100g mordanted yarn/fibre (Alum 10%)

Instructions:

  • Bring the soaked bark to a simmer for 2 hours.
  • Strain through cloth and add the yarn/fibre and dye bag to the dye bath.
  • Simmer for 1 hour and then rinse.

Alternatively, soak the Logwood chips overnight, then boil for 1 hour before use.

MALLOW ROSE BLACK ~ Hollyhock

€5,55 Save €-5,55

Black Mallow Rose Flowers (Hollyhock)
Latin: Malvae arbor. Flor. tot. | Botanical: Alcea rosea L.

These vibrant Black Mallow Rose Flowers, also known as Hollyhocks, are perfect for eco-printing and natural dyeing projects. When used in eco-printing, they create stunning purple-blue to violet hues on fabric, with the rich tones evolving beautifully over time. Their colour fastness ranges from weak to medium, but can be enhanced with the proper mordants.

Eco-Printing Tips:

  • For deeper, more intense black and purple hues, use an iron mordant.
  • For general printing or dyeing, follow a standard mordant procedure for balanced results.
  • Only the petals and flowers are utilized for printing and dyeing.

Durability:

Black Mallow Rose prints can retain their colours for years, but that very much depends on light exposure and washing. The anthocyanins in the petals provide some longevity, though fading may occur with prolonged sunlight or frequent washing.

MAYA BLUE PIGMENT
Handmade Natural Indigo Mineral Pigment

€7,20 Save €-7,20

The legendary blue pigment of the ancient Maya

Maya Blue is one of the most remarkable pigments in the history of natural colour. Developed by the ancient Maya civilisation of Central America, this pigment combines natural indigo with a mineral clay to create an exceptionally stable and luminous blue.

At AppleOak FibreWorks we produce our own Maya Blue pigment in small batches using natural indigo and carefully prepared mineral clay. Through controlled heating, the indigo becomes permanently bound within the clay structure, creating a pigment with outstanding stability and a distinctive mineral depth.

The result is a beautiful blue that differs subtly from standard indigo pigments — softer, mineral-rich and remarkably durable.

Why Maya Blue is unique 

Unlike ordinary indigo powder, Maya Blue forms a stable mineral–organic pigment where the indigo molecules are permanently bound within the clay structure.

This makes it highly resistant to:

• light and UV exposure
• humidity and environmental ageing
• acids and alkalis
• solvents

Because of this extraordinary stability, Maya Blue pigments found in ancient murals have remained vibrant for over a thousand years.

Suitable uses 

Maya Blue is an insoluble pigment, meaning it is used together with binders rather than dissolved like a dye.

It can be used for:

• natural inks
• watercolour and gouache
• egg tempera
• natural paint making
• textile printing with binders
• paper and book arts
• pigment research and historical techniques
• mixed media artwork

NATURAL INDIGO ~ Dye colour Blue

€9,00 Save €-9,00

100% Natural Indigo (Indigofera tinctoria)

Traceable · Traditionally fermented · Origin: India · Approx. 35-42% indigotin

This is a high-quality, truly natural indigo, prepared in India from fresh leaves of Indigofera tinctoria using a traditional natural fermentation process. The indigo is supplied in powdered form and produces clear, stable blue shades ranging from very pale sky blues to deep, dark navies.

All batches are subject to analytical controls to verify their natural origin. This additional level of checking provides reassurance and traceability in a market where adulteration and partial synthesis have become increasingly common.

The main colouring component is indigotin, valued for its excellent lightfastness and wash fastness when dyed correctly.

Use in textile dyeing

Indigo is an insoluble pigment rather than a mordant dye. In order to dye fibre, it must first be reduced from its blue, oxidised state into a soluble yellow-green form. This reduced indigo penetrates the fibre and then re-oxidises on contact with air — the moment when the characteristic blue colour develops.

This indigo is suitable for a wide range of vat systems, including natural fermentation vats, fructose or sugar vats, lime-based mineral vats, bran vats, and quick vats using hydros or thiourea dioxide. Vats typically operate at 30–40 °C, making indigo dyeing a comparatively low-energy process.

It can also be combined with other natural dyes, such as yellows or reds, to create layered colours including greens, purples, and complex overdyes.

Typical usage guide

For pale sky blues, approximately 1 g of indigo per 100 g of fibre is sufficient.
Medium denim blues are usually achieved with around 5 g per 100 g of fibre.
Deep navy shades generally require 12 g or more per 100 g of fibre, built up through multiple dips.

Other uses

Beyond textile dyeing, this indigo can be used as a natural pigment for paint making, ink, decorative finishes, and woodwork. When used as a pigment, it should be well ground into the chosen binder or medium to ensure even colour development and to avoid visible particles.

The plant

Indigofera tinctoria is a small shrub traditionally cultivated for indigo production and is thought to have originated in India. The plant and its dye are mentioned in some of the earliest Sanskrit texts, and indigo was long known as “the queen of dyes” before the widespread adoption of synthetic indigo at the end of the nineteenth century. Other species of Indigofera have also been used historically as sources of natural indigo.

Storage and safety

Store in a cool, dry place, sealed against moisture. Avoid inhaling fine powder and wear a mask when handling. Gloves are recommended when working with lime, hydros, or iron additives.
This product is not intended for food use.

SÍODA – Special Collection

Mulberry Silk & Merino Wool | Fingering Weight | Naturally Dyed in Ireland 🇮🇪

The Síoda Special Collection explores the full expressive potential of natural colour on silk.

Indigo notice

Some blue colourways are dyed with natural indigo. A small amount of colour transfer to hands or needles during knitting is normal and temporary.

After finishing your garment, soak briefly in cool water with a dash of vinegar, rinse gently, and dry flat to help settle the dye.

With its luminous mulberry silk content and soft merino wool base, Síoda responds to natural dye in uniquely beautiful ways. Colours develop with depth, subtle sheen, and quiet variation, enhanced by the way silk reflects and absorbs light.

Each skein is individually dyed at AppleOak FibreWorks using traditional, sustainable natural dye methods and organic dye materials. These studio-dyed skeins are produced in small batches, allowing colour to develop organically through layered immersion and oxidation.

The result is a yarn of exceptional softness, luminosity, and individuality.

Soft, breathable, and refined, Síoda is especially suited to garments worn close to the skin and pieces where colour, drape, and fibre quality are central to the finished textile.

STOCKHOLM

100% Wool | Bulky Weight | Naturally Dyed

Stockholm is a beautifully simple and satisfying yarn — soft, generous, and designed for knitting that progresses quickly.

Soft and easy to handle, Stockholm is ideal for beginners as well as experienced knitters seeking quick, rewarding projects. Its structure also makes it especially suitable for felting.

TURIN

Wool, Mulberry Silk & Ramie | Fingering Weight | Naturally Dyed

Turin is one of the most versatile yarns in our collection — combining softness, strength, and luminosity in a beautifully balanced fibre blend.

Made from wool, mulberry silk, and ramie (processed nettle fibre), this yarn offers the softness and elasticity of wool, the sheen and fluidity of silk, and the strength and durability of ramie — a traditional plant fibre related to nettle.

This balanced combination makes Turin especially well suited to garments requiring durability and resilience, including socks, sweaters, and garments worn regularly.

Soft yet strong, Turin knits smoothly and creates fabrics with gentle sheen and excellent longevity.

The wool is sourced from South America. Ramie and mulberry silk from China are blended and spun with the wool in Czechia. Each skein is then naturally dyed at AppleOak FibreWorks using traditional, sustainable natural dye methods and organic dye materials.

Turin takes up natural colour beautifully, producing rich, saturated tones with subtle tonal variation.
