Shibuya Yarn

If you love yarns that let texture do the talking, Shibuya is one to have on your needles. This beautifully soft bouclé yarn blends fine merino wool, cotton and mohair to create a cosy, fleece-like fabric that's wonderfully tactile while remaining surprisingly lightweight.

The looped construction adds instant depth and interest, so even the simplest stocking stitch or crochet stitches produce a fabric full of character. Available in a palette of natural shades alongside eye-catching multicolour prints, Shibuya is a wonderful choice for modern garments and accessories where the texture becomes the focal point.

Beautiful texture, effortless knitting

Shibuya combines fine merino wool, cotton, polyamide and mohair to create a yarn that's soft, warm and comfortable to wear. The cotton keeps the finished fabric feeling light, while the bouclé loops trap warmth and create a distinctive fleece-like finish.

This yarn really comes into its own in relaxed silhouettes. Oversized jumpers, easy-going cardigans and cosy jackets all showcase its unique texture beautifully, and because the yarn creates so much visual interest on its own, simple stitch patterns are often all you need.

Perfect for

• Cosy jumpers and pullovers
• Relaxed-fit cardigans
• Lightweight jackets and layering pieces
• Scarves and cowls
• Hats and winter accessories
• Contemporary crochet garments
• Modern textured accessories

Our Verdict

Shibuya is one of those yarns that feels special from the moment you cast on. The soft bouclé creates a beautifully cosy fabric with very little effort, so even straightforward projects look striking. We particularly love how the finished fabric has the look and warmth of fleece while remaining light enough for everyday wear. If you're looking for a yarn that delivers plenty of texture without relying on intricate stitch patterns, Shibuya is a joy to work with.
