Our Yarns

All AppleOak yarns are made from natural fibres and coloured using traditional natural dyes wherever indicated. We work with wool, alpaca, yak, silk, hemp, ramie, bamboo and nettle — fibres chosen for integrity, longevity and feel.

Our own-brand yarns are dyed in-house using natural colour. We do not use heavy metals or synthetic colour-enhancing chemicals. Where possible, our dyes are organically grown and processed in our studio in Co. Clare.

Natural fibre. Honest colour.

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.

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.
