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 knitter and sometimes crocheter, Leila began dyeing yarn as an ongoing extension of exploring creativity in colour, subsequently launching The Urban Purl yarn brand online in 2017. 

 A culturally rich and diverse upbringing in West London has greatly influenced Leila’s creativity, leading to a fascination with urban/cityscapes. Many of her colourways are imbued with a dynamic urban, gritty quality.  She is known for her intricate semi-tonals, lightly peppered with speckles, that has become the brand signature.  

 Leila creates darkly blended moody colours, as well as rich and vibrant hues with or without speckles. Texture, dimension and handle are key factors when choosing the right yarns for her colours and Leila constantly strives to keep her yarn choices luxurious yet sustainable, ecologically friendly and as cruelty free as possible.

We are Linda and Lisa, producers of sustainable British wool yarn.  We create sumptuously soft British yarn, encouraging a celebration of all that goes into making British wool – in the same way wine lovers celebrate the provenance of their favourite wines.  We are wool decanted.  Working with British mills, we choose the softest blend of wool fibres we want to create, the weight and feel of the yarn, the natural colour of the base and its influence on our colour palette. It’s our mission, and passion, to promote the joy of making with British wool by showcasing our wool blends in a range of classic garments, for inspiration and enjoyment. We’d love you to visit us at The Big Flock, where we’ll be showing vintage 23, our deliciously soft blend of fibres from Polwarth, Romney and black Shetland sheep. Come and share the joy!
