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.

ALPACA FINO 100% Superfine Alpaca | Natural Colours

€24,95 Épargnez €-24,95

ALPACA FINO

100% Superfine Alpaca | DK Weight | Natural Colours | NOTE: The black yarn is dyed, as natural black Alpacas are a rarity.

There is a particular softness unique to superfine alpaca.

Grown in the high altitudes of the Peruvian Andes, alpaca fibre offers exceptional warmth whilst remaining lightweight, breathable, and gentle against the skin. Naturally free of lanolin, it is especially well suited for those sensitive to sheep’s wool.

Alpaca Fino is a classic Peruvian alpaca yarn — a smooth, balanced 4-ply construction spun from 100% superfine alpaca fibre. It has a gentle natural sheen and an even structure that allows stitch definition to emerge clearly whilst maintaining a soft, fluid drape.

Finished garments feel warm yet light, with a relaxed elegance that makes them easy to wear across seasons. Its drape makes it especially suited to seamless garments, flowing forms, and body-skimming pieces.

From alpaca farmer to spinning mill, the entire production takes place within Peru, supporting regional fibre traditions and local employment.

Yarn type: 4-ply, Nm 8/4
Weight: DK weight
Length: 200 m per 100 g skein

What it is ideal for

• Lightweight yet warm garments

Character

Superfine alpaca is warmer than sheep’s wool whilst remaining lightweight and breathable. Its smooth fibre structure creates softness without prickle, and its natural lustre gives finished garments quiet depth. Free of lanolin, it offers a comfortable alternative for those sensitive to wool.

The balanced 4-ply construction provides strength, durability, and beautiful stitch definition.

CORRIE

100% Laine | Poids DK | Teintures Naturelles

Corrie est un fil de laine doux et velouté à un seul brin, filé au Pérou et teint naturellement chez AppleOak FibreWorks en utilisant des méthodes de teinture naturelle durables.

Sa structure lisse et délicatement filée permet aux mailles de s'ajuster uniformément tout en conservant douceur et souplesse. Il glisse facilement sur les aiguilles et se tricote en vêtements avec un drapé fluide et détendu.

Corrie a été développé comme notre premier fil teint naturellement de poids DK – plus léger que notre fil Stockholm plus épais, mais tout aussi agréable à travailler. Il convient particulièrement bien aux pulls, aux écharpes et aux vêtements portés près de la peau.

De la brebis au fil fini, la fibre et la filature sont entièrement réalisées au Pérou. La couleur naturelle finale est appliquée dans notre atelier de teinture en utilisant des méthodes de teinture durables et à faible impact, inspirées des pratiques traditionnelles de teinture naturelle.

Chaque écheveau offre profondeur, douceur et la variation discrète unique à la couleur tirée de la nature.

€31,00 Épargnez €-31,00

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 Special Edition Traceable Irish Yarn | Naturally Dyed

€35,00 Épargnez €-35,00

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.

This yarn is especially valued for baby garments, wool soakers and traditional knitting, where natural fibre performance is essential.

Every stage of production—from fibre to finished yarn—is completed in Peru, supporting regional fibre traditions and ensuring consistent quality.
