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.

HAND-SPUN NETTLE YARN

Himalayan Nettle Fibre | Naturally Undyed | Hand-Spun in Nepal

Our Himalayan nettle yarn is hand-harvested from wild nettle plants growing in Nepal and spun by hand using traditional methods. Untreated and naturally processed using only water and wood ash, it retains the integrity and character of the original fibre.

The yarn carries the quiet irregularity and variation inherent to hand-spun plant fibres. Its natural colours range from soft grey and beige to warm, earthy tones, reflecting the fibre’s origin.

Historically known as “poor man’s linen,” nettle fibre shares many of linen’s qualities — strength, breathability, and durability — whilst offering its own distinct texture and presence.

This yarn is entirely plant-based, biodegradable and produced through ethical small-scale production supporting rural families and traditional fibre knowledge.

TURIN Laine, Soie de mûrier & Ramie | Teinture naturelle

€28,00 Épargnez €-28,00

TURIN

Laine, Soie de Mûrier & Ramie | Poids Fingering | Teinture Naturelle

Turin est l'un des fils les plus polyvalents de notre collection — combinant douceur, résistance et luminosité dans un mélange de fibres magnifiquement équilibré.

Composé de laine, de soie de mûrier et de ramie (fibre d'ortie traitée), ce fil offre la douceur et l'élasticité de la laine, le lustre et la fluidité de la soie, ainsi que la solidité et la durabilité de la ramie — une fibre végétale traditionnelle apparentée à l'ortie.

Cette combinaison équilibrée rend Turin particulièrement adapté aux vêtements nécessitant durabilité et résilience, y compris les chaussettes, les pulls et les vêtements portés régulièrement.

Doux mais solide, Turin se tricote facilement et crée des tissus avec un léger éclat et une excellente longévité.

La laine provient d'Amérique du Sud. La ramie et la soie de mûrier de Chine sont mélangées et filées avec la laine en Tchéquie. Chaque écheveau est ensuite teint naturellement chez AppleOak FibreWorks en utilisant des méthodes de teinture naturelle traditionnelles et durables et des matériaux de teinture biologiques.

Turin prend magnifiquement la couleur naturelle, produisant des tons riches et saturés avec de subtiles variations tonales.

Undyed and presented in its natural shades, this yarn reveals the inherent beauty of yak and silk fibres. Each colour reflects the natural tones of the animals and fibres themselves.
