Collection: Reds
Appleton's wool is sold in two weights: crewel and tapestry.
Crewel wool is 2 ply and as well as being used for crewel work, it is also suitable for some cross stitch and embroidery work. It was used extensively by William Morris and in the 21st Century in the Great Tapestry of Scotland and the (new!) Bayeux Tapestry. Crewel wool is also used in combining different colours to produce subtle colour changes and highlights in work.
Tapestry is the thicker 4 ply weight, used for cushions, chair covers and tapestries needing a thicker weight.
Appletons wools come in over 400 colours, and each colour can be found in both crewel and tapestry weight. Both weights come in either skeins or hanks, as follows:
-
Crewel Wool Skein - 25m
-
Crewel Wool Hank - 180m
-
Tapestry Wool Skein - 10m
-
Tapestry Wool Hank - 55m
All Appleton's wool come from the Yorkshire Wool Market and is also dyed and spun in Yorkshire.
