STOCKHOLM

100% Wool | Bulky Weight | Naturally Dyed

Stockholm is a beautifully simple and satisfying yarn — soft, generous, and designed for knitting that progresses quickly.

Its softly spun single-ply structure creates visible, well-defined stitches and allows garments to grow rapidly on the needles. It is especially well suited for sweaters, accessories, and projects that benefit from warmth and structure.

Soft and easy to handle, Stockholm is ideal for beginners as well as experienced knitters seeking quick, rewarding projects. Its structure also makes it especially suitable for felting.

The wool is sourced from mulesing-free farms in Peru and spun entirely in Peru, ensuring continuity from fibre to finished yarn. Each skein is then naturally dyed at AppleOak FibreWorks using traditional, sustainable natural dye methods and organic dye materials.

Stockholm takes up natural colour beautifully, producing rich, saturated tones with subtle variation.

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

Suggested Warp Sett (EPI)

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

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

Yarn Specifications

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.

FANEEL – Handwoven Himalayan Nettle Fabric

EXPECTED DELIVERY EARLY NOVEMBER

100% Himalayan Nettle | Hand-Spun & Handwoven in Nepal | Straight Weave

Discover the distinctive texture and natural character of FANEEL, a traditional handwoven fabric made entirely from Himalayan nettle (Girardinia diversifolia).

Wild-harvested, hand-spun and woven in Nepal, this beautiful plant-based textile combines strength, texture and traditional craftsmanship. Its naturally earthy shades and individual variations make every length unique.

Unlike our ALLO Himalayan Nettle Fabric, which features a herringbone weave, FANEEL has a classic straight weave. Both fabrics are otherwise identical in fibre composition and production.

Fabric Specifications

Please note: Himalayan nettle (Girardinia diversifolia) is a different plant from European stinging nettle (Urtica dioica).

The Fabric

Himalayan nettle is a remarkable natural fibre, traditionally valued for its strength, durability and insulating qualities.

The fabric has a distinctive, rustic texture that gradually softens with washing, handling and wear. Its natural colour varies depending on the harvested fibres, creating subtle differences between batches and individual woven lengths.

The straight weave gives FANEEL a classic appearance, making it particularly suitable for garments, accessories and interior textiles where natural texture and character are appreciated.

Traditional Craftsmanship

FANEEL is produced in Nepal using traditional fibre-processing and weaving techniques.

The Himalayan nettle plants, which can reach heights of approximately three metres, are harvested by hand. The extracted fibres undergo a traditional softening process involving wood ash, stone beating and clay treatment before being hand-spun into yarn and woven into fabric.

Production supports Nepalese makers, including women and families who work from home, helping preserve traditional textile skills while providing paid employment.

Suitable For

• Clothing: Jackets, blazers, trousers, waistcoats and outerwear

• Accessories: Bags, textile accessories and decorative pieces

• Home textiles: Cushions, table runners, curtains and tablecloths

• Creative work: Embroidery, textile art and traditional craft projects

Care Instructions

Wash at 40–60°C. Allow for approximately 10% shrinkage, particularly before cutting fabric for garments or fitted projects.

We recommend prewashing and testing a small piece before beginning your project.

Ordering & Availability

Multiple quantities will be supplied as one continuous length whenever possible, unless otherwise requested.

As this fabric is entirely handmade, slight variations in weave, width, texture and natural colour are part of its character.

Availability is limited by traditional production. Please contact us for larger quantities or bulk enquiries.

Cotton Warp Yarn for Weaving | 100% Cotton | 3 Sizes Available

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 225-250g 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.

Available Sizes

Suggested Warp Sett (EPI)

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

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

• hand weaving
• rigid heddle looms
• floor looms
• textile art and fibre crafts

LUNA – Handwoven Himalayan Nettle & Cotton Fabric
Origin: Nepal | Weave: Herringbone | Width: Approx. 100cm

Orders of more than one piece will be cut in one continuous length unless instructed otherwise.

The humble Himalayan nettle is in fact a remarkable natural fibre plant. It can be used in herbal medicine, for natural dyeing, and most notably, for spinning into a strong, versatile fibre similar to flax.

LUNA is the lightest of our nettle fabrics, featuring a soft herringbone weave. A natural cotton warp is woven with fine, hand-spun Himalayan nettle yarn, creating a breathable, airy textile with subtle texture and beautiful drape.

Each piece of LUNA is handwoven and unique. The nettle yarn varies naturally in colour—ranging from straw yellow to grey-brown or deep brown—while the cotton warp provides a soft, even-toned base that highlights the weave.

The Company:
This fabric is made from wild-harvested Himalayan nettle (Girardinia diversifolia), ethically produced in Nepal. It supports local women, homemakers, and families by offering fair wages and home-based work opportunities, helping to reduce the need for labour migration.

The Fabric:
In Nepal, Himalayan nettle grows up to 3 metres tall and is still processed entirely by hand. Once harvested and peeled, the fibre is soaked in a semi-boiling wood ash bath overnight—this not only softens the fibres but also enriches the soil when reused as fertiliser. The fibres are then beaten on stone and rubbed with clay to remove debris, yielding a clean, strong, and sustainable yarn.

Naturally insulating, breathable, and durable, this fabric softens beautifully over time and wear.

In a Nutshell:
• 50% Himalayan nettle, 50% cotton
• Approx. 100cm wide
• Hand-spun nettle yarn
• Handwoven herringbone weave
• 315 g/m²
• Naturally varied in colour
• 40–60°C wash, 10% shrinkage
• Rinse gently with mild soap
• Orders cut as one continuous length unless otherwise requested

Uses:
Perfect for:
Blazers, jackets, vests, summer and children’s clothing, trousers, cushions, tablecloths, curtains, bags, light upholstery, embroidery, and more.

History:
Himalayan nettle has been used for generations in Nepal for everything from clothing to rope. In Europe, nettle fibre also had a long and rich history as a linen alternative. The 18th-century poet Thomas Campbell once wrote:
“I have slept in nettle sheets, and I have dined off a nettle tablecloth... The stalks of the old nettle are as good as flax for making cloth.”

LUNA continues this tradition—offering a fabric that is beautiful, practical, and deeply connected to place and craft.

LIONA – White European Linen Fabric

100% Linen | 190 g/m² | Approx. 150 cm Wide | European Production

Linen is often described as the European version of silk – timeless, breathable and wonderfully comfortable against the skin.

LIONA is a beautifully versatile, medium-weight European linen that sits comfortably between fine and rustic, lightweight and heavy. Slightly more substantial than our LINON fabric, it offers the perfect balance of softness and structure for everyday clothing and home textiles.

Woven from 100% linen and oxygen bleached to a classic white, LIONA is a lovely choice for skirts, trousers, shirts and dresses, as well as creative sewing and textile projects.

The Fabric

At 190 g/m², LIONA is a medium-weight woven linen with enough body for structured garments while remaining breathable, comfortable and beautifully natural.

Compared with our lighter LINON (125 g/m²), LIONA offers more substance, making it particularly suitable for trousers, skirts and garments that benefit from a little extra structure.

The fabric is not prewashed. After its first wash, it softens and relaxes, developing the lovely drape and natural character that make linen so enjoyable to work with.

Please note: The product photographs show the fabric after washing. Allow for approximately 10% shrinkage and prewash before cutting and sewing.

Natural Dyeing

LIONA is suitable for natural dyeing, botanical printing, embroidery and textile surface design.

As a cellulose fibre, linen benefits from thorough scouring and a suitable cellulose mordanting process to achieve consistent, lasting colours.

The slightly heavier weave makes LIONA a lovely option for natural dye projects intended for clothing, accessories and home textiles.

Please note: LIONA is oxygen bleached rather than unbleached. We recommend testing your chosen dyeing process on a small sample before proceeding with larger quantities.

Suggested Uses

Clothing

• Skirts, trousers and dresses

• Shirts and tunics

• Lightweight jackets and overshirts

• Comfortable everyday garments

Natural Dyeing & Textile Art

Photographs: The product images show the fabric after washing.

Sustainability & Natural Fibres

Linen is made from flax, a renewable plant fibre traditionally grown across Europe. Flax can require relatively little irrigation in suitable growing conditions, and different parts of the plant can be used for textiles, linseed oil and other products.

Naturally strong and long-lasting, linen is a wonderful alternative to synthetic fabrics. Its durability means that well-made linen garments and household textiles can be enjoyed for many years.

LIONA is made entirely from flax fibres, without synthetic fibre blends. It has been oxygen bleached to achieve its classic white finish.

Care Instructions

Before Sewing

• Prewash to allow for approximately 10% shrinkage.

• Let the fabric relax before cutting.

• Remember that the product photographs show the washed fabric.

Washing & Drying

• Machine wash at 60–90°C, as appropriate for your project.

• Use a gentle spin cycle.

• Hang or lay flat to dry naturally.

• Avoid excessive tumble drying to minimise additional shrinkage.

Ironing & Finishing

Iron while damp for a smooth finish, or simply leave unironed to enjoy linen's natural creasing and relaxed character.

With every wash, LIONA becomes softer and more supple while retaining the strength and character that make linen such a lasting favourite.

LINON – Lightweight White European Linen Fabric

100% Linen | 125 g/m² | Approx. 150 cm Wide | European Production

LINON is a beautifully fine, lightweight European linen fabric with a crisp white finish and a delicate, flowing character. Woven from 100% flax fibres and oxygen bleached, it offers a breathable, versatile cloth for clothing, embroidery, natural dyeing and creative textile projects.

Initially slightly crisp, LINON softens beautifully after its first wash, developing the supple texture and natural drape that make linen such a pleasure to work with.

The Fabric

At just 125 g/m², LINON is a lightweight woven linen, ideal for summer garments, delicate textile work and projects where breathability and a natural feel are important.

The fabric is not prewashed and will soften and relax considerably during its first wash. We recommend prewashing before cutting and sewing to allow for natural shrinkage.

Natural Dyeing

LINON is suitable for natural dyeing, botanical printing and textile experimentation.

As a cellulose fibre, linen benefits from appropriate preparation, including thorough scouring and a suitable cellulose mordanting process, to achieve more consistent and lasting results.

Please note: The fabric has been oxygen bleached. Although white, it is not an unprocessed or unbleached linen. We recommend testing your chosen dyeing process on a small sample before proceeding with larger projects.

Suggested Uses

Clothing

• Summer dresses and skirts

• Blouses and lightweight shirts

• Loose, breathable summer garments

Natural Dyeing & Textile Art

• Natural dyeing and botanical printing

• Embroidery and decorative stitching

• Surface design and textile experimentation

Homeware & Crafts

Product Details

Continuous Lengths: Orders of more than one piece will be cut in one continuous length wherever possible, unless otherwise requested.

Sustainability & Natural Fibres

Linen is produced from flax, a renewable plant fibre traditionally grown across Europe. Flax can require relatively little irrigation in suitable growing conditions, and different parts of the plant can be used for textiles, linseed oil and other products.

Linen is naturally durable, biodegradable when untreated and free from synthetic fibres. Its strength and longevity make it an excellent choice for textiles intended to be worn, used and cherished for many years.

LINON has been oxygen bleached to achieve its white finish, an additional processing step compared with natural, unbleached linen.

Care Instructions

Before Sewing

• Prewash to allow for approximately 10% shrinkage.

• Allow the fabric to relax before cutting.

Washing & Drying

• Machine wash at 60–90°C, as appropriate for your project.

• Use a gentle spin cycle.

• Hang to dry naturally, preferably while still damp.

• Avoid excessive tumble drying to minimise additional shrinkage.

Ironing & Finishing

Linen becomes softer and more supple with repeated washing. Iron while damp for a smooth finish, or leave unironed to enjoy its naturally relaxed texture.

LIOLINA – Textured Natural Linen Fabric
Origin: Europe | Width: Approx. 150 cm

Orders of more than one piece will be cut in one continuous length unless instructed otherwise.
Pictures show the washed fabric.

If silk is the queen of the East, linen is surely its European cousin. Liolina is one of my personal favourites — a beautifully textured, slubby-spun linen made from a blend of bleached and natural-coloured yarns. Heavier than most linens in our collection, this fabric has a tactile richness and visual depth that makes it as striking as it is versatile.

Whether used in the dye studio or the sewing room, Liolina lends itself beautifully to bold garments and structured homeware. It's durable, economical, and wonderfully responsive to colour, wear, and time.

The Fabric

Woven from slubby linen yarns — some natural, some bleached — Liolina has a lively character with soft texture and depth. It’s mid-heavy weight, making it ideal for structured garments or substantial decorative pieces. Though not pre-washed, it softens significantly with use and develops the familiar gentle creasing of classic linen.

Uses

Clothing:
• Robust skirts and trousers
• Vests and jackets
• Durable children's clothing

Homeware & Crafts:
• Tablecloths and cushion covers
• Heavy curtains and accessories
• Bags, embroidery, and textile art

In a Nutshell

• Material: 100% Linen
• Width: Approx. 150 cm
• Weight: 280 g/m²
• Colour: Natural and white blend (oxygen bleached)
• Not pre-washed
• Expected shrinkage: 10–15%
• Wash: 60–90°C
• Do not iron – creasing adds natural charm
• Cut in continuous length unless otherwise requested

The Environment

Linen is a champion of sustainable fibres. Grown with little water and in poor soils, flax is resilient, renewable, and fully usable. No part of the plant goes to waste — from textiles to linseed oil, it’s a true zero-waste crop. Durable, compostable, and long-lasting.

Health & Comfort

Linen is ideal for those with sensitive skin, and supports natural temperature regulation. It’s breathable, antibacterial, and especially comfortable for those who experience heat sensitivity or hot flushes.

Care

Linen improves with every wash — it becomes softer, more fluid, and beautifully lived-in. There's no need to iron it; natural creasing is part of its character. Dry flat or hang dripping wet, and let the fabric form itself naturally over time.

Neem Leaves and Spray

Neem Leaves

These Neem leaves are grown on a small organic farm in India. The farm is kbA registered (registered organic).

Available in leaf form or as spray*

Neem is very popular and is used for so many things, medicinal, anti-fungal and as insecticide.  We treat all our articles with the neem oil spray in order to protect the yarns and wool from moths.

Neem oil Spray 

Neem oil, cold pressed from the fruits and seeds of the Indian Neem tree. Like the Neem leaves, the oil is ideal for protecting fabric, yarn and fibers from insects and moths. I use it all the time and I have yet to see a moth!

200ml spray bottle of Neem oil contains: cold pressed Neem Oil mit 1% Azadirachitin (active ingredient in Neem oil) natural essential oils, Isopropyl - alcohol

What customers say:
"Brilliant keeps midges out too and the smell just goes away I found it quite citrus but it may smell different to each person Hubby smelled faint lemongrass"

------- 

Basic Recipe (Leaves): 

Sew little pouches (or use drawstring bags), just like Lavender pouches, stuff them loosely with Neem leaves, and put them into your yarn/wool storage. They smell pleasantly, but that is my opinion and so far doesn't seem to leave an odor on the yarn/wool.

100gr is enough for 5 small pouches.

Basic Recipe (Spray):

Simply spray onto your items, there is no trace of the oil or long term smell on your products. Even though the oil smells strong when applied. Pleasantly though, but that is my own opinion.
