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.

Yarn type: single ply (Nm 2/1)

What it is ideal for

• Sweaters and cardigans

Character

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

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

What it is ideal for

• Lace knitting
• Weaving
• 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

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.

For larger projects, we recommend alternating skeins during knitting.

ORGANIC COCHINEAL DYE

€7,20 Save €-7,20

COCHINEAL DYE ~ Dye colours red, pinks to purples

Origin: Canary Islands, Spain. Organically farmed and processed by Canaturex 

I am so delighted to have finally found some organic Cochineal. Lorenzo is one of the very first offering fully traceable Cochineal grown to organic principals.

Cochineal, a powerful dye sourced from tiny insects that feed on cacti, produces stunning shades of purple, red and pink. With just one dye bath, this incredible insect can create a range of hues, from deep, rich reds to delicate, fairy-like pinks. It is derived from the Dactylopius species of insects, and its body contains 19-22% carminic acid.

*To make one kilogram of cochineal dye, it takes about 80,000 to 100,000 insects. 

Excellent colour fastness is guaranteed.

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!

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.

Explore the versatility of Rhubarb Root as a natural dye and unlock a range of rich, pH-dependent colours in your yarn and fabric projects!
