CRÓ

Wool & Jute Core Cord | Structural Carpet Yarn | Made in Germany 🇩🇪

Cró is a strong, architectural cord made from pure wool spun around a natural jute core.

This construction creates exceptional durability whilst maintaining flexibility, allowing the cord to move naturally in weaving and structural textile work. The wool exterior provides warmth, softness, and grip, whilst the jute core creates stability and strength.

Spun in a beautiful finger-thick structure, Cró is ideal for carpets, seating, poufs and sculptural fibre work. Despite its substantial presence, it is remarkably efficient — requiring relatively little material to cover large surfaces.

Finished textiles are durable, stable, and suitable for everyday use, including vacuum cleaning.

Cró reflects a tradition of structural fibre construction, combining natural materials to create functional, long-lasting textiles.

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

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 use.

LINEN WARP YARN | 100% Linen 2 Sizes Available

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.
