Creating wearable Colours in a close relationship with nature - this Palette has been inspired by Irish Moors, Mountain flowers and Mossy Woodland Rivers.
Light and silky to the touch, Yeti is made from equal amounts of Yak and Mulberry Silk fibres – spun into a fine fingering weight yarn to create garments which are as light as a feather.
This yarn makes a wonderful all year garment – both, yak and silk, are temperature regulators.
Yak is one of the most expensive fibre in the world – with being warmer than sheep wool and still as soft as cashmere, it will keep you warm and cosy when needed.
It is hard wearing, durable, soft, warm and light weight.
Check out Criostal, designed by Albina from Lbhandknits, it highlights Yeti in a simple delicate shawl pattern.

One of the softest of our three natural ranges, Puno is made exclusively from Baby Alpaca and is outstandingly soft and perfectly suited for sensitive skin. The plied look gives it a chunkier heavier appearance yet is extremely light and soft to the touch. Puno yarn makes a quick knit and a cosy one to boot!
Snug as a bug – is what you will be, when knitting something in this Alpaca yarn. Due to its slouchy and drapey effect it is best suited for flowing and body skimming pieces, ideally knitted seamlessly. Slouch hats, snoods, blankets or shawl projects are particularly well suited for the Puno Alpaca yarn.
-----------------------------------------
All our Alpaca yarns come from the Peruvian Andes
The entire production ~ from Alpaca farmer to the spun yarn ~ is done within Peru, supporting local employment and a low carbon footprint.
Puno is available in 8 gorgeous undyed shades.

Let’s celebrate the humble nettle! Doolin can also be used for all softwool patterns.
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.
Patterns shown:
Ascophylia hat pattern
Sleeping in the Garden sock pattern
Rochelle Sock pattern

Quito is the yarn you want, when thinking of frosty Autumn walks or a stroll in the snow.
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.

All our Alpaca yarns come from the Peruvian Andes
The entire production ~ from Alpaca farmer to the spun yarn ~ is done within Peru, supporting local employment and a low carbon footprint.
Quito is available in 9 stunning undyed colours.
