ÉRIU DK SOFT – Special Collection

Irish Wool Blend | DK Weight | Naturally Dyed Multicolour in Ireland 🇮🇪

This special collection explores the full palette of natural colour.

Using Ériu's signature Irish wool blend of Romney lambswool and Bluefaced Leicester, each skein is dyed individually at AppleOak FibreWorks using a wide range of traditional natural dye sources. Colours emerge through layered dyeing, over-dyeing, and careful handling in the dye vat, creating rich multicolour variation across the yarn.

These skeins carry movement, depth, and quiet unpredictability — tones shift along the length of the yarn, revealing themselves fully only when knitted.

The wool is sourced directly from Irish farms and spun in Ireland. Each skein is then naturally dyed in our studio using sustainable methods and a combination of homegrown and traditional natural dye materials.

No two skeins are fully identical.

Natural dyes used

This collection may include colours created using:

• Logwood
• Madder root
• Weld
• Buckthorn bark
• Sage and other plant dyes
• Oak galls
• Cochineal (insect-derived, not vegan)

Cochineal is a traditional natural dye derived from insects and is not vegan.

LIMA Wool, Tussah Silk & Linen | Naturally Dyed

€29,00 Save €-29,00

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.

In a nutshell

Fibre: 50% pure wool, 25% linen, 25% tussah silk
Yarn type: 4-ply (Nm 14/4)
Weight: Sport weight
Length: 350 m per 100 g skein
Skein weight: 100 g
Recommended needle size: 3 mm

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.

TURIN

Wool, Mulberry Silk & Ramie | Fingering Weight | Naturally Dyed

Turin is one of the most versatile yarns in our collection — combining softness, strength, and luminosity in a beautifully balanced fibre blend.

Made from wool, mulberry silk, and ramie (processed nettle fibre), this yarn offers the softness and elasticity of wool, the sheen and fluidity of silk, and the strength and durability of ramie — a traditional plant fibre related to nettle.

This balanced combination makes Turin especially well suited to garments requiring durability and resilience, including socks, sweaters, and garments worn regularly.

Soft yet strong, Turin knits smoothly and creates fabrics with gentle sheen and excellent longevity.

The wool is sourced from South America. Ramie and mulberry silk from China are blended and spun with the wool in Czechia. Each skein is then naturally dyed at AppleOak FibreWorks using traditional, sustainable natural dye methods and organic dye materials.
