This brand new fingering weight yarn is as soft and fluffy as its name suggests.
Spun from Mulberry Silk and Superfine Merino, this yarn is a brushed bouclé, meaning it has lots of lovely texture and sooooo very soft. Think snowflakes made of kittens..
Knit up on its own, held double, or held together with another yarn to add softness, fluffiness and warmth.
Knit up, it makes a very light fabric which very much resembles a gorgeous crushed velvet.
Give it a try - we know you'll adore it! We're thinking patterns like Pink Velvet or Birds of a Feather by Andrea Mowry. Or Mission Accomplished or Suriously Holey.. Use it in place of fingering weight yarn to add accents to necklines, cuffs, yokes - there's no limit!
Leila creates her magic from her studio in NW London. A culturally rich and diverse upbringing has greatly influenced Leila’s creativity, leading to a fascination with urban/cityscapes.
She is known for her intricate semi-tonals, lightly peppered with speckles, that has become the brand signature.

Leila Bux, the founder of The Urban Purl, is a one woman show, creating colours galore on yarn and fibre from her studio in North West London.
A long-time crafter, knitter and crocheter, Leila began dyeing yarn as an ongoing extension of exploring creativity in colour.
A culturally rich and diverse upbringing in West London has greatly influenced Leila’s creativity, leading to a fascination with urban/cityscapes, the graphic imagery of urban dereliction and the colours generated by the natural processes of deconstruction (she’s not emo or morbid, promise!) that imbues many of her colourways with an urban, gritty quality. She is also known for her intricate semi-tonals, lightly peppered with speckles, that has become the brand signature.
A maximalist at heart, Leila creates darkly blended moody colours, as well as rich and vibrant hues with or without speckles. Yarn texture, dimension and handle are key factors when choosing the right yarns for her colours and Leila
