Description of boucle yarn and its use

Knitters are attracted to thread with curls, because the look of the bouclé yarn is associated with airiness and luxury. But is it really so? From the article, you will learn about what are things knitted with boucle thread, how they are worn and what bouclé yarn is. We will also tell you who produces it, how the yarn behaves when knitting, what products are knitted from it.

Boucle yarn comes with irregular curls throughout the thread. These curls give the fabric, which comes out when knitting, softness, comfort and airiness. A thread with "curls" can contain cotton, which makes it natural.

The bouclé thread is more often produced in bobbins - it is more convenient to work with it: it does not get tangled when knitting. It can be thin (suitable for knitting things in the warm season) and thicker for winter knitting. Boucle is translated from French as "curly curl".

At first glance, such a yarn is very similar to a fur thread, but if you take a closer look, they cannot be confused. The canvas knitted from boucle looks luxurious; these threads are simply knitted with front or purl loops without any pattern. The bouclé thread is suitable for learning to knit, because it is easy to correct a mistake on such a fabric, and the flaws are not so visible due to the "curls".

The bouclé knitting yarn has both advantages and disadvantages. The pluses include the following indicators.

• Usually these yarns are very soft, bulky and breathable. To get an airy product from a bouclé thread, it is recommended to knit it on thicker knitting needles (many times thicker than the yarn itself).
• Natural fibers in the composition make the thread warm.
• Knitted bouclé items do not wrinkle.
• It is easy to correct flaws during operation. This is also easy to do while knitting.
• From such a thread, extraordinary products are obtained that emphasize, when worn correctly, the figure (if it is a thing to be worn).

The disadvantages include:

• difficulty in knitting (thin thread and thick knitting needles - difficult to knit without "holes");
• you need to master the skill of knitting from such yarn and learn all the secrets of bouclé knitting;
• when wearing things, you need to be extremely careful so as not to make puffs - curls can catch on any irregularities;
• improper washing and improper use can quickly lead to the loss of the original chic and shine that was in the manufacture.

Experienced knitters advise to knit looser things from such yarn, and not fitted ones - then they will be more comfortable in them. And keep in mind that it is very difficult to dissolve such products - this is another disadvantage of bouclé yarn.

And it's not just the complexity of the process, but the fact that after that the thread can lose its original appearance, and expectations from repeated knitting can be disappointing. However, skilled craftswomen are not upset by this, and they are constantly in search of high-quality bouclé yarn.

In general, this is an economical thread to work with, and experienced craftswomen like to knit with it. You can buy yarn for both winter knitting and summer knitting, choosing options with the presence of cotton in the composition. On the market for knitting threads, boucle from expensive brands is found, but there are also cheaper options for bouclé yarn, which are produced by domestic manufacturers.
