BACK TO BASICS

 

Woven from irregular yarns in bright colors, with knot-like thickenings - this is the fabric that has made a career as bouclé. The yarns can be monochrome or multicolored, fine or thick. There are also no limits when it comes to patterns - from tweed optics to houndstooth, there is everything! Extra plus: Thanks to the irregular surface, bouclés are easy to work with, even for beginners - "crooked" seams become invisible!
