Hi Becky,

 

I have not used it yet, but it sounds interesting. How high on the soft scale is it.

Here is the info about the yarn for anyone who is interested.

 



TexturesR

TexturesR is a worsted-weight, self-striping boucle yarn that creates a beautiful medley of complementary colors.  Each colorway is inspired by the color palettes found in nature, such as the forest, ocean, meadows, and skies. The tightly twisted, consistent nature of the boucle makes the yarn easy to knit and crochet with, so everyone-even a beginner--will get neat and professional looking stitches. TexturesR works up beautifully to create easy care garments, afghans and accessories.
