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.

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.

Colourways

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

LINEN WARP YARN | 100% Linen 2 Sizes Available

€10,50 Save €-10,50

Linen Warp Yarn | Flax Weaving Yarn | Thin & Thick Warp Cones

Strong, crisp linen yarn designed specifically for warp.

This 100% linen warp yarn is spun in Germany from Western European flax. Linen is known for its exceptional strength and crisp behaviour on the loom, producing clean sheds and firm, well-defined woven structures.

While weaving, linen feels slightly wiry and structured. After washing and finishing, the fibres relax and soften, creating the beautiful drape typical of linen fabrics.

The yarn is supplied on 225g cones and is available in three variants.

Available Variants

Variant Count Length Approx. Cone Length
Thin Linen Warp – Natural 6/2 (2-ply) ~300m / 100g ~675m
Thin Linen Warp – Bleached 6/2 (2-ply) ~300m / 100g ~675m
Thick Linen Warp – Natural heavier linen warp approx. 225g cone suitable for heavier fabrics

Suggested Warp Sett (EPI)

These setts provide a starting point. Final sett will vary depending on weave structure and desired fabric density.

Yarn Suggested Sett Suitable Projects
Thin Linen Warp 18–24 epi towels, table linens, scarves
Thick Linen Warp 12–16 epi runners, heavier fabrics

Plain weave structures often require a slightly lower sett, while twills and denser fabrics may benefit from a higher sett.

Working Tips

• Linen warps often benefit from light moisture while weaving
• Maintain consistent tension when dressing the loom
• Sample to determine the ideal sett and finishing method

Care

Wet finishing is recommended. Linen softens and develops its characteristic drape after washing and pressing while retaining its natural strength.
