Individual Appletons Crewel Wool Skeins from the Scarlet Colorway

Appletons 2 ply crewel skeins, each approximately 25 meters long, are spun and dyed in the UK using British Wool. The wide variety of colors not only gives you the ability to shade and create depth of color in your work, but also allows you to color match to your wildest maker's dreams. Crewel wool can be used on any canvas or linen. 

This listing is for an individual skein of Appletons crewel wool. Color numbers are visible in the second and third pictures in this listing.

Crewel wool has been used for a thousand years but became most popular in the seventeenth century. It was famously used by William Morris and other artists during the Arts and Crafts movement and today it has found enormous popularity among designers and artists in a more contemporary style. 

All our wool is British from sheep to needle – it comes from the Yorkshire wool markets and is also dyed and spun in Yorkshire. The furthest it travels is from Yorkshire to Buckinghamshire before being shipped to you.
