CORRIE

100% Wool | DK Weight | Naturally Dyed

Corrie is a soft, velvety single-ply wool yarn, spun in Peru and naturally dyed at AppleOak FibreWorks using sustainable natural dye methods.

Its smooth, gently spun structure allows stitches to settle evenly whilst maintaining softness and flexibility. It moves easily on the needles and knits into garments with a fluid, relaxed drape.

Corrie was developed as our first naturally dyed DK-weight yarn — lighter than our chunkier Stockholm yarn, yet equally satisfying to work with. It is especially well suited for sweaters, scarves, and garments worn close to the skin.

From sheep to finished yarn, the fibre and spinning are completed entirely in Peru. The final natural colour is applied in our dye studio using low-impact, sustainable dyeing methods drawn from traditional natural dye practice.

Each skein carries depth, softness, and the quiet variation unique to colour drawn from nature.

Character

Corrie is softly spun and velvety, allowing for smooth knitting and gentle drape. The single-ply structure creates softness and cohesion whilst maintaining strength.

Natural dye colours develop depth and subtle variation, giving each skein its own quiet character.


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 knitting.


Colourways

Each colourway is naturally dyed at AppleOak FibreWorks using traditional natural dye sources. Colours reflect both the Irish landscape and the materials from which they are created.
