Lux Hi Twist from The Urban Purl is a luxurious fingering weight yarn with a high twist construction that gives it real snap and stitch definition. Hand-dyed by Leila using a kettle dyeing technique, each skein has a depth and character that feels genuinely individual. The yarn itself is a beautifully balanced blend of ethically sourced Merino and Silk: the Merino brings its signature squidgy softness and elasticity, making it a genuine pleasure to knit with over long sessions, while the Silk adds strength, fluid drape, and a superb natural sheen that elevates the finished fabric. Together they create a base that is both practical and quietly beautiful - well suited to elegant shawls, wraps, and lightweight garments where drape and lustre really get to shine. It's also a base that does Leila's dyeing real justice; something about this silky, high twist blend seems to draw out the full depth and complexity of her colourways in a way that's hard not to fall for.
