MARIA: NATURALLY DYED WOOL & ALPACA SOCKS – COSY BED & HOME COMFORT

65 % sheep wool | 35 % alpaca wool
Cuff: Same blend with a thin elastic thread (<1%, cuff only)

Maria is our thickest, softest sock - designed for comfort, not abrasion. Naturally warm and beautifully fluffy, these socks are perfect for relaxing at home, keeping toes cosy on cool evenings, or wearing to bed. Each pair is dyed in-house using plants like madder root and weld, creating gentle botanical tones on a soft wool–alpaca blend.

These are not hard-wearing outdoor socks. Maria shines where softness matters most: quiet mornings, evenings on the sofa, or slipping into bed with warm feet.

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

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

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.

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 Special Edition Traceable Irish Yarn | Naturally Dyed

€35,00 Save €-35,00

ÉRIU DK SOFT – Special Collection

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

This special collection explores the full palette of natural colour.

Using Ériu's signature Irish wool blend of Romney lambswool and Bluefaced Leicester, each skein is dyed individually at AppleOak FibreWorks using a wide range of traditional natural dye sources. Colours emerge through layered dyeing, over-dyeing, and careful handling in the dye vat, creating rich multicolour variation across the yarn.

These skeins carry movement, depth, and quiet unpredictability — tones shift along the length of the yarn, revealing themselves fully only when knitted.

The wool is sourced directly from Irish farms and spun in Ireland. Each skein is then naturally dyed in our studio using sustainable methods and a combination of homegrown and traditional natural dye materials.

No two skeins are fully identical.

Natural dyes used

This collection may include colours created using:

• Logwood
• Madder root
• Weld
• Buckthorn bark
• Sage and other plant dyes
• Oak galls
• Cochineal (insect-derived, not vegan)

These dyes may be used individually or in combination through layered dye processes.

Cochineal is a traditional natural dye derived from insects and is not vegan.

Weight: DK weight (Nm 3/7)
Length: 233 m per 100 g skein
Skein weight: 100 g
Recommended needle size: 4 mm

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

Fibre: 100% pure wool
Weight: Lace weight (2-ply)
Length: 1000 m per 100 g skein
Skein weight: 100 g
Recommended needle size: 2–3 mm

Colour: Naturally dyed at AppleOak FibreWorks, Ireland 🇮🇪

What it is ideal for

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

Character

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

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.

For larger projects, we recommend alternating skeins during knitting.

OLANN BHOG

100% Wool | Sport Weight | Naturally Dyed

Olann Bhog is a soft, bouncy, and versatile yarn — deeply rooted in the AppleOak yarn collection.

Formerly known as Softwool, it has been part of our range from the very beginning and has featured in many patterns, including our Forest Friends children's collection. It is a traditional favourite and a pleasure to knit with.

Its balanced structure creates a yarn that is both soft and resilient, with excellent stitch definition and gentle elasticity. It is easy to work with and well suited to garments designed for comfort and everyday wear.

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 organic dye materials.

Olann Bhog takes up natural colour beautifully, producing rich, saturated tones with subtle variation.

ORGANIC HIBISCUS FLOWERS ~ ground, cut, whole

€5,65 Save €-5,65

Organic Ground, Cut, or Whole Hibiscus Flowers
Vibrant Pink & Purple Hues for Dyeing | Cultivated in Egypt

Hibiscus flowers are an excellent choice for natural dyeing, offering stunning shades from light purples to deep pinks and even greens, depending on the mordant used. Ground Hibiscus produces a lighter purple hue on wool, while cut or whole flowers yield more vibrant tones. This pH-sensitive dye is perfect for hobby dyers and children’s activities, as it offers interesting colour shifts - from green to purple to pink -  and an experimental approach to dyeing.

Dyeing Tips:

  • Ground Hibiscus: Use 50% of the dye weight relative to the fabric for a light purple hue.
  • Cut or Whole Hibiscus: Use 75-100% of the dye weight relative to the fabric for deeper tones.
  • pH Sensitivity: Hibiscus dye is pH-sensitive, meaning colour can shift, creating fun and unique results—perfect for those who enjoy experimenting.

Colour Fastness: Poor (colour may shift with pH changes)

Basic Hibiscus Dye Recipe:

  1. Mordanting: Use Alum (10-15%) for dyeing wool.
  2. Dye Ratio:
    • For mordanted fabric or yarn: Use 50-100% Hibiscus dye relative to the weight of the dry fibre.
  3. Dyeing Process:
    • Soak Hibiscus flowers or powder in water and simmer.
    • Add mordanted fabric and simmer until the desired colour is achieved.

A delightful and experimental natural dye, perfect for adding beautiful, ever-changing shades to your projects!

PREMIUM IRISH WELD ~ Shredded, Sustainably Grown in Co. Clare

ORGANIC IRISH WELD ~ Homegrown in Co. Clare, Ireland

(Reseda luteola / Dyer’s Weld)

Bring a piece of Ireland’s dye heritage into your studio with our homegrown Weld! Grown in Co. Clare from our own carefully saved seed, we follow organic standards and sustainable practices throughout the growing process—though we are not organically certified (yet). Every plant is tended by hand, using eco-friendly, regenerative methods from seed to harvest.

We love closing the loop: spent dye plants from our studio are transformed through our worm composting system, returning as rich compost to nourish the next generation of Weld. It’s a full-circle, regenerative approach that brings even more life to our fields and colours to your work.

This listing is for dried Weld plants, shredded for your convenience. Stock is limited each year according to our small-scale approach.

Why Weld?

Weld, or Dyer’s Reseda, is one of the oldest sources of brilliant, lightfast yellow for natural dyeing. From the Mediterranean to Irish fields, this plant has coloured textiles for thousands of years. Over-dye with indigo to create historic Saxon and Lincoln greens—the legendary colours of Robin Hood’s band!

We trialled our homegrown Irish Weld against both German Weld and our standard imported Weld, and the results were clear—our Irish-grown Weld produced the strongest, most vibrant colour of all. We’re delighted to share the best results from our fields with you!

Weld is the base for many of our favourite greens. The clear yellow it yields is prized for its clarity, vibrancy, and excellent colour fastness.

RHUBARB ROOT DYE ~ Yellow & Green

€8,00 Save €-8,00

RHUBARB ROOT GROUND ONLY
Dye Colour: Yellow Brown, Green (with Iron), Pink (with Soda Ash) – pH and Mordant Dependent | Country of Collection: China

Rhubarb root is a captivating natural dye, producing a spectrum of colours that vary depending on the pH of the dye bath and the mordant used. Known as a Quinone dye, it is rich in tannins, which yield earthy yellow-brown and green hues with iron. A higher pH will shift the colour to delicate pinks or reds, though these tones are less colourfast. Notably, the yellow and green shades are more stable, maintaining their colour for longer.

Colour Fastness:

  • Green and Yellow: Good
  • Pink to Red: Poor

pH Sensitivity: High pH will shift the colour to red.

Colour Outcomes by WOF Ratio & pH/Mordant:

  • 25% WOF Dye (Rhubarb Root): Yields a soft yellow-brown.
  • 50% WOF Dye (Rhubarb Root): Produces a deeper yellow-brown with greenish hues when combined with iron.
  • 100% WOF Dye (Rhubarb Root): Results in a rich yellow or green, depending on the pH and mordant used. Pink shades will develop with Soda Ash for a red hue.

Basic Recipe for Wool:

  • Ingredients: 100% cut Rhubarb or 50% ground Rhubarb, Wool (mordanted with Alum)
  • Optional: 3-5% Iron or 15% Soda Ash for different shades.

Instructions:

  1. Soak the Rhubarb root in water overnight.
  2. For wool, mordant with Alum before dyeing.
  3. Simmer the Rhubarb root in water for 1-2 hours, and then strain.
  4. Add the wool to the dye bath and simmer for 1 hour.
  5. Leave the wool in the dye bath overnight for deeper colour.
  6. Rinse and dry to reveal your stunning dye results.

Each skein is naturally dyed at AppleOak FibreWorks using traditional, sustainable natural dye methods and mostly homegrown dye materials. The Irish-grown and Irish-dyed fibre creates a yarn deeply connected to its origin.

Soft yet durable, Ériu is ideal for garments worn close to the skin and designed for lasting use.

TURIN Wool, Mulberry Silk & Ramie | Naturally Dyed

€28,00 Save €-28,00

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.

WELD (RESEDA LUTEOLA) DYE ~ yellow & green

€9,00 Save €-9,00

WELD DYE (Reseda Luteola)
Dye Colour: Yellow and Green (when overdyeing) | Country of Collection: Typically Europe

Weld (Reseda Luteola) is a renowned plant-based colourant with a rich history, often used to create high-quality dyes in temperate regions. Paired with other traditional dye plants like Madder, Woad, and Dyer's Chamomile, it yields beautiful shades of yellow, which can then be overdyed with Woad to create the iconic Saxon and Lincoln greens. Legend has it that Lincoln Green was the signature hue of Robin Hood and his outlaws, achieved by overdyeing Weld yellow with Woad blue.

Colour Fastness: Excellent

Colour Outcomes by WOF Ratio:

  • 100% WOF Dye (Weld): Produces a rich, vibrant yellow.
  • Overdye with Woad: Creates stunning, lively greens.
  • Use of Soda Ash: Intensifies yellow tones and helps with colour extraction.

Basic Recipe for Dyeing:

  • Ingredients: 100% Weld, 7% Soda Ash, Wool (mordanted with Alum)
  • Instructions:
    1. Soak Weld in the dye pot with Soda Ash overnight.
    2. Bring to a simmer for 1 hour.
    3. Strain through cloth and set aside.
    4. Add mordanted wool to the dye pot and simmer gently for 1 hour.
    5. For a paler yellow: Use the same dye bath for a second batch of mordanted yarn.
    6. Reuse the dye bath: It can be used up to 2 times for additional dyeing.

Embrace the rich tradition of Weld dye and bring centuries-old colours to your fibre projects, from vibrant yellows to lush greens when combined with Woad.
