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 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

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

Suggested Warp Sett (EPI)

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

Yarn Suggested Sett Suitable Projects

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, LĂĄsa 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 đŸ‡”đŸ‡Ș
Colour: Naturally dyed at AppleOak FibreWorks, Ireland 🇼đŸ‡Ș

What it is ideal for

‱ Lace knitting
‱ Weaving
‱ Fine and delicate garments
‱ Holding double with other yarns
‱ Lightweight textiles
‱ Detailed textile work

Character

LĂĄsa 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.

Colourways

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

LINEN WARP YARN | 100% Linen 2 Sizes Available

€28,95 Save €-28,95

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.
