We are so excited to stock this incredible new yarn base dyed up by the amazing Urban Purl, right here in London.
100% Superwash Merino yarn, this versatile fingering weight is lovely and smooth, takes colour super well, and has lovely drape - making it perfect for shawls and easy to wear, next-to-skin-soft garments. The high twist on this yarn makes texture pop too!
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. -

Fingering/4Ply About The Urban Purl
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
