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.

Alpen is a strong, heritage yarn designed for durability, structure and longevity.
Spun from a balanced blend of goat hair and wool, it offers exceptional strength and resilience whilst maintaining enough flexibility to work comfortably on the loom or in handcraft.
Traditionally used for carpets, bags, and structural textiles, this yarn reflects a long history of utilitarian fibre craft.
The goat hair contributes strength, abrasion resistance, and durability, whilst wool provides cohesion and flexibility.
Spun in Switzerland from carefully sourced fibres, Alpen is ideal for textile work requiring stability, structure, and endurance.

Cró is a strong, architectural cord made from pure wool spun around a natural jute core.
This construction creates exceptional durability whilst maintaining flexibility, allowing the cord to move naturally in weaving and structural textile work. The wool exterior provides warmth, softness, and grip, whilst the jute core creates stability and strength.
Spun in a beautiful finger-thick structure, Cró is ideal for carpets, seating, poufs and sculptural fibre work. Despite its substantial presence, it is remarkably efficient — requiring relatively little material to cover large surfaces.
Finished textiles are durable, stable, and suitable for everyday use, including vacuum cleaning.
Cró reflects a tradition of structural fibre construction, combining natural materials to create functional, long-lasting textiles.
