ANNATTO SEEDS (Bixa orellana) ~ Organic, Non-Organic & Powdered Seeds ~ Natural Dye for Yellow & Orange

€6,95 Save €-6,95

ANNATTO – ORGANIC, NON-ORGANIC & POWDERED

Botanical name: Bixa orellana
Dye colour: Yellow, orange, copper

Wool, silk, cotton and linen can all be dyed successfully with annatto. It yields warm yellows to rich orange tones and combines beautifully with other dyes such as cochineal and madder for extended colour ranges.

We offer three forms of annatto due to availability:
• Organic Whole Seeds – Wild harvested in Côte d'Ivoire
• Non-Organic Whole Seeds – Standard dye grade
• Non-Organic Powdered Seeds – Finely ground for quicker extraction and even application

Colour Range & Combinations

• Use with cochineal and cream of tartar for orange-red colours
• Pre-dye silk with madder, then add to an annatto bath for copper-orange
• Combine with tartaric acid to achieve yolk yellow

The dye is not very lightfast and may need to be refreshed after a few years. However, blending annatto with cochineal improves durability.

Basic Recipe for Yellow

100 g wool or silk, mordanted with 15% alum and 10% cream of tartar
100 g annatto seeds

  1. Soak annatto seeds overnight with 10 g soda ash

  2. Blend the soaked seeds and simmer for 1 hour

  3. Strain through cloth and tie off seeds in a dye bag

  4. Add silk to dye bath for 20 minutes at 80 °C

  5. Remove silk; simmer wool in the same bath for 1 hour (without dye bag)

  6. Return silk for an additional 15 minutes

This bath can be reused for lighter yellow-orange tones.
Pre-soaking wool in a vinegar bath for 10 minutes can enhance the brightness of the final shade.

In a nutshell

• Material: Annatto seeds (whole or powdered)
• Botanical name: Bixa orellana
• Grades offered: Organic, non-organic, powdered
• Dye colours: Yellow, orange, orange-red, copper
• Fibre compatibility: Wool, silk, linen, cotton
• Fastness: Poor to medium
• Best used with: Cochineal, madder, cream of tartar, tartaric acid

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.

€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.

African Tagetes Flowers – Tagetes patula

Dye Colour: Yellow and Orange | Botanical: Tagetes patula | Grown & Dried in Ireland

Bring the warmth of summer to your fibre work with our hand-harvested African Tagetes flowers (Tagetes patula), grown and dried in County Clare, Ireland. These marigold-like blossoms yield rich yellow and orange hues ideal for natural dyeing.

Unlike Tagetes erecta, this smaller-flowered variety is more delicate in shape, making it well suited to both dye extraction and eco-printing, as well as bundle dyeing. Its accessible petal structure makes it a favourite for surface design artists - though the pressed or fresh versions would work better.

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.

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.

MADDER DYE ~ Reds & Oranges

€9,50 Save €-9,50

Madder Dye – Cut or Ground
Rich Natural Reds for Dyeing | Wild-Harvested in Eastern Europe

Madder (Rubia tinctorum) is a renowned natural dye that produces a stunning range of reds—from warm oranges and rich brick reds to deep blood reds and fiery crimson tones. The final shade depends on multiple factors, including soil conditions, root age, mineral content of the water, dyeing temperature, and fibre-to-dye ratio.

Dyeing Tips:

  • Mordanting: Avoid cream of tartar when mordanting cold. 
  • Soaking: Pre-soak fibres for at least 12h-24h before dyeing.
  • Dyeing Methods: Madder can be used in both hot and cold dye baths. Adding chalk can help achieve better reds.

Colour Fastness: Excellent – Madder is known for its durability and deep, lasting hues.

Discover the beauty of natural dyeing with madder and create your own unique reds!

Basic Madder Dye Recipe

(Adjust quantities as needed to achieve your desired shade. Water quality will influence colour result. Oranges instead of reds are often more likely)

Ingredients:

  • 100g dried madder roots (soaked overnight and blended if possible, or use ground)
  • 100g mordanted fiber (Alum-treated)
    • Use 50g of fibre for darker reds or 300g for lighter shades
  • 7–10 liters of water
  • 6g calcium carbonate (chalk) (optional, for enhanced reds)

Instructions:

  1. Soak the madder roots in the dye pot overnight.
  2. Gently heat to 65°C (149°F) and maintain for one hour for red tones.
    • Higher temperatures will shift the colour towards brown.
  3. Strain the dye bath through a cloth to remove root particles.
  4. Add the mordanted fibre and the dye bag (optional, might result in uneven colour) back into the pot.
  5. Maintain a temperature between 65–95°C (149–203°F) for one hour to develop the colour.

IMPORTANT: The higher the temperature, the darker and browner the final shade.

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.

Character

The combination of wool, silk, and ramie creates a yarn that balances softness with durability.

Silk adds gentle sheen and fluid drape, whilst ramie contributes strength and longevity. Natural dye colours develop depth and subtle variation across the blended fibres.

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.

Each colourway is naturally dyed at AppleOak FibreWorks using traditional natural dye sources.
