Strong cotton warp yarn designed for reliable weaving.
This 100% cotton warp yarn is spun in Germany from American cotton and constructed specifically for use as warp on the loom. The tightly structured yarn provides strength and stability during weaving.
Available in three different thicknesses, the yarn can be used for a wide range of weaving projects — from strong textiles to lighter woven fabrics.
Supplied on 250g cones, the yarn feeds smoothly and consistently when warping and weaving.
The cotton fibre also makes this yarn suitable for traditional natural dyeing, producing beautiful results with natural dyes.
| Size | Length | Construction | Approx. Length per Cone |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thick | 133m / 100g | Nm 20/3 × 5 (15-ply) | ~332m |
| Medium | 222m / 100g | Nm 20/3 × 3 (9-ply) | ~555m |
| Thin | 333m / 100g | Nm 20/3 × 2 (6-ply) | ~832m |
These values provide a general starting point. Final sett will vary depending on weave structure and desired fabric density.
| Yarn | Suggested Sett | Suitable Projects |
|---|---|---|
| Thick Cotton Warp | 8–12 epi | rugs, bags, strong textiles |
| Medium Cotton Warp | 12–16 epi | towels, medium fabrics |
| Thin Cotton Warp | 16–22 epi | scarves, lightweight fabrics |
Open weave structures may require a slightly lower sett, while twills and denser fabrics may benefit from a higher sett.

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.
• Traditional Aran jumpers
• Sweaters and cardigans
• Hats, scarves, and mittens
• Durable everyday knitwear
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.
Hand wash gently in cool water
Reshape whilst damp
Dry flat
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.
Available in a range of traditional Donegal tweed shades, each reflecting the colours of the Irish landscape.

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.
| 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 |
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.

| Use | Warp yarn for weaving |
• 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
Wet finishing is recommended. Linen softens and develops its characteristic drape after washing and pressing while retaining its natural strength.
