And than there was the nettle. Turin is a slightly shiny 4ply yarn and has much to offer! Spun in the Czech Republic, this yarn is made from wool blended with Ramie and Silk to produce a delicate but strong yarn with a cheeky shine to it. This is one of our favourites to use in plant dyed multi-colours – it makes the colours come alive – ever changing with the light.

Due to its Ramie and silk content, it makes sturdy socks, but it can also be used for knitting flattering garments. Beautifully soft but can be a little stiff at the beginning, this yarn will win you over in no time.

60% wool & 20% Ramie & 20% Silk
4 ply
weight Fingering
100gr/ 3.5oz

HAND SPUN NETTLE YARN
Available in Thin & Medium Weight | Colour: Natural Grey & Beige | Origin: Nepal

And then there was the humble Nettle, so often despised for its sting. Nonetheless, it is a treasure. It can be used like spinach, drank as a healing herbal tea, used for dyeing green and yellow, used in gardening as a pesticide, and last but not least, it creates fibre like flax...

Our hand-spun Himalayan Nettle Yarn is available in thin and medium weights, each offering unique qualities. The medium weight yarn is slightly uneven and can be stiff at times, while the thin yarn is smooth and even, making it ideal for clothing items. The yarn naturally varies in colour from grey to beige, creating a beautiful, rustic effect.

The Company:
Made from Himalayan Nettles, wild harvested in Nepal, this yarn is ethically produced by a company that supports homemakers, women, and families, providing them with a decent income and the opportunity to work from home rather than seeking employment abroad.

The Yarn:
Untreated and naturally processed with a combination of water and wood ash (lye), this yarn is hand-harvested and hand-spun in Nepal. The colour varies naturally from light grey/beige to brown. Available in hank form, this yarn is ethically produced and perfect for various crafts.

History:
Nettle yarn was once widely used in Europe and was known as the "Poor Man's Linen." Nettles once rivalled flax, hemp, and cotton as a staple fibre. Thomas Campbell, the 18th-century poet, famously wrote about the practical uses of nettles, from food to fabric. "I have eaten nettles, slept in nettle sheets, and dined off a nettle tablecloth," he said.

Use:
This yarn can be used for knitting, crochet, weaving, and sewing (thin yarn only). The medium yarn is semi-rough and not suitable for fine knitting or crochet work.

The Nettle Dress:
The nettle dress, handwoven using thin nettle yarn by Sofia C. in Sweden, showcases the versatility of this fibre. For more information about the dress, please email: wsm.shc@gmail.com.

In a Nutshell (100g):

• Approx. 265m
• Hand-spun
• Hand-harvested in the wild in Nepal
• Naturally processed with wood ash and water
• Origin: Himalaya, Nepal
• Sample Size: Approx. 3m

Note:
Please get in touch if you prefer a centre-pulled ball instead of a skein. Medium comes in skeins, thin in ball form.

Doolin 2021

Dyed with 18th century recipes, developed by Master Dyer Antoine Janot (1700-1775). Though I had to tweak a few recipes, this book has been a real inspiration when it comes to blending colour. Back then Natural dyeing was the only source of colouring cloth and the choice of dyes limited. Doolin has been dyed using only 4 dyes in varying quantities and combinations: Sage, Indigo, Madder & Oak Gall. I wanted to create a Winter Palette so I substituted Weld with Sage. Sage gives darker and moodier yellows in comparison to the lively lemon like yellow produced by Weld. I had to double dye most to create an even colour uptake, but I am very pleased with the results and I hope they will inspire you to create something beautiful, thank you!

Written by Dominique Cardon and Iris Bremaud

Let’s celebrate the humble nettle!

Doolin is made from 80%wool and 20% Ramie and the bigger brother of our 4ply Turin, made from a similar blend but including Silk as well. Ramie is a bast fibre, made from the inner phloem of the nettle. Ramie not only gives the yarn a gentle sheen, but also provides strength and stability needed for the heel and toe areas making it a great alternative to nylon rich yarns. Ramie doesn’t absorb dye the same way as wool does, giving this yarn a unique two-toned mottled effect.

Doolin and Turin are 'all rounder' yarns suitable for any project you set your mind too.

Like with all hand knitted items, a gentle handwash is best, however, this yarn has been washing machine tested by us and can be wool washed if preferred.

We also have some stunning patterns available for this yarn in our pattern section, designed by LBhandknits for AppleOak FibreWorks.

Only selected baby alpaca fleeces from the Peruvian Andes are used for this incredibly soft and light Alpaca yarn. Spun in Peru, Alpaca Light still keeps with the general slouchy and drapey character of any Alpaca yarn. It is best suited for flowing and body skimming pieces, ideally knitted seamlessly. Unlike its bigger siblings, Alpaca Light is perfect for delicate knits, baby clothes or undergarments.

LANOLIN RICH WOOL YARN – 100% Wool, 100g Skein

Origin: Peru | Count: Nm 4.5/2 | Weight: Approx. 100g per skein (≈ 225m)

Sold in continuous quantities where possible. Please leave a note if you'd like skeins packed separately or unlabelled.

A naturally resilient and beautifully functional yarn. Our lanolin-rich virgin wool yarn is spun from 100% Peruvian wool and rebalanced with lanolin after spinning—offering softness, structure, and a subtle water-resistant quality.

It retains the gentle, breathable texture of untreated wool while being particularly suitable for babywear, accessories, and traditional knitting projects like soakers or nappy covers.

This yarn is a staple for those who love texture, warmth, and authenticity in their work.

The Yarn

A classic 2-ply yarn with a lightly springy handle and the quiet richness that comes from wool left close to its natural state. Though the lanolin is removed during industrial spinning to prevent static buildup, it is carefully added back in to restore softness and improve performance.

Every stage of this yarn’s life—from sheep husbandry and shearing, to scouring, spinning, and finishing—is carried out entirely in Peru. This fully localised process ensures high-quality standards, reduces environmental impact, and supports skilled workers and traditional knowledge across the fibre chain.

This yarn knits with a soft rustic feel and offers natural elasticity and structure—suiting both textured stitches and simple stockinette. Its added lanolin gives it excellent moisture resistance, making it ideal for items worn close to the body or in damp conditions.

Uses

Clothing:
• Jumpers and vests
• Baby clothes and wool wraps
• Hats, scarves, mittens

Homeware & Accessories:
• Knitted nappy covers
• Wool soakers and wraps

The Environment

Wool is a renewable, biodegradable fibre that requires minimal processing and no synthetic blends to deliver warmth and comfort. With a fully Peruvian supply chain, this yarn supports regional wool growers and millers, reducing transport and supporting sustainable livelihoods.

Health & Comfort

Lanolin is naturally antibacterial and moisturising. This yarn is breathable, insulating, and gentle on sensitive skin, making it well suited to cloth nappies, wool wraps, and garments for babies and children.

Care

Hand wash gently in cool water using wool detergent. Do not wring. Reshape while damp and dry flat. This yarn is not superwash treated—its natural lanolin content helps with stain and odour resistance between washes.

Alpaca is one of the warmest fibre you can choose. Due to its slouchy and drapey effect it is best suited for flowing and body skimming pieces, ideally knitted seamlessly. Alpaca Quito is a single yarn, not plied, and, once knitted, allows for many air pockets to store that extra bit of warmth when needed.

The yarn is silky and soft, slips easily off the needles and allows for a quick knit – when knitting with Alpaca yarn it is advisable to go up by 0.25mm – 0.5mm a needle size to allow the amazing drape to flow and keep its buoyancy.

Alpaca is one of the warmest fibre you can choose. Due to its slouchy and drapey effect it is best suited for flowing and body skimming pieces, ideally knitted seamlessly. Alpaca Quito is a single yarn, not plied, and, once knitted, allows for many air pockets to store that extra bit of warmth when needed.

The yarn is silky and soft, slips easily off the needles and allows for a quick knit – when knitting with Alpaca yarn it is advisable to go up by 0.25mm – 0.5mm a needle size to allow the amazing drape to flow and keep its buoyancy.
