Fibre naturelle. Couleur authentique.

Toutes les laines AppleOak sont fabriquées à partir de fibres naturelles et colorées à l'aide de teintures naturelles traditionnelles, le cas échéant. Nous travaillons avec la laine, l'alpaga, le yak, la soie, le chèvre, le chanvre, la ramie et l'ortie — des fibres choisies pour leur intégrité, leur longévité et leur toucher naturel.

Toutes les laines colorées sont teintes en interne à l'aide de teintures naturelles. Nous n'utilisons pas de métaux lourds ni de produits chimiques synthétiques améliorant la couleur, et dans la mesure du possible, nos teintures sont cultivées et traitées biologiquement par nos soins dans notre atelier à Co. Clare.

ÉRIU DK SOFT

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

Ériu DK Soft is the gentlest expression of our Irish wool yarn — soft, luminous, and deeply connected to place.

Made from Ériu's signature blend of Romney lambswool and Bluefaced Leicester wool, this yarn balances softness with durability. Romney provides strength and structure, whilst Bluefaced Leicester contributes smoothness, elasticity, and its characteristic gentle sheen.

The wool is sourced directly from Irish farms, including small flocks and a growing fair-trade network of farmers across Ireland. From fleece to finished yarn, Ériu reflects a commitment to regional fibre, traceability and textile heritage.

Softly spun and beautifully balanced, Ériu DK Soft creates garments with smooth stitch definition, gentle drape, and lasting resilience.

Each skein is offered either in its pure undyed form or naturally dyed at AppleOak FibreWorks using sustainable, traditional natural dye methods and organic indigo.

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)

These dyes may be used individually or in combination through layered dye processes.

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

ÉRIU

Mélange de laine irlandaise | Poids Sport | Teint naturellement en Irlande 🇮🇪

Ériu est notre fil irlandais – enraciné dans son lieu, sa fibre et son paysage.

Fabriqué à partir d'un mélange soigneusement équilibré de laine d'agneau Romney et de laine Bluefaced Leicester, Ériu allie force et éclat délicat. La Romney apporte durabilité et structure, tandis que la Bluefaced Leicester contribue à la douceur, à l'élasticité et à sa brillance caractéristique.

La laine provient directement de fermes irlandaises, y compris de petits troupeaux et d'un réseau croissant de producteurs du commerce équitable à travers l'Irlande. De la toison au fil fini, Ériu reflète un engagement envers la fibre régionale, la traçabilité et le patrimoine textile.

Chaque écheveau est teint naturellement chez AppleOak FibreWorks en utilisant des méthodes de teinture naturelle traditionnelles et durables et principalement des matériaux de teinture cultivés localement. La fibre cultivée et teinte en Irlande crée un fil profondément lié à son origine.

Doux mais durable, Ériu est idéal pour les vêtements portés près de la peau et conçus pour une utilisation durable.
