what is boucle fabric

Bouclé fabric is a type of fabric that is made from bouclé yarns, which are produced from a number of different loops, some of which feature large circlets, and others that feature tiny curls. The term "bouclé" comes from the French word "boucler," meaning to curl. The texture of bouclé fabric is unique and nubby, and it is thick and incredibly dense, almost like a blanket. Bouclé fabric is traditionally made from wool or mohair, but it can also be made from linen and cotton. Bouclé fabric is commonly used in home decor, especially for upholstering chairs, sofas, and beds, as well as for making soft goods like pillows and curtains. Bouclé fabric is versatile and can be used to create a multi-layered fabric that can be used to give another piece of textile more detail. Bouclé fabric is durable and can be washed as you would most other fabrics, but it may not be the best upholstery fabric for homes with pets or children who like to touch, grab, and pull.
