Species overview

Its texture can be created in different ways. In one case, threads of the same thickness with identical bumps are used in the work. In another, threads with a nodular structure of different sizes are woven into the base.
Also, during production, they can create an interesting structure by means of different tension of the threads used. For example, when 2 are used at once, then one of them is positioned freely, and the other with tension. As a result, the free thread creates a loop, and the lower one is a semblance of its anchor.

Care rules
Boucle is not a capricious material. However, in order for it to serve for a long time and maintain its original aesthetics, it is necessary to follow the basic rules of care.
Given the tendency to shrinkage of fabrics made from natural fibers, it is not recommended to wash loose fabrics. On the other hand, synthetic washing is shown at low temperature and delicate mode.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/715-0/2021/08/kak-vyglyadit-bukle-i-chto-shyut-iz-tkani-50.jpg)
Contrary to popular belief, you should not try to get rid of dirt by brushing the surface. This will lead to a violation of the bouclé texture, change the uniformity of the knots at the processing site.
From such manipulations, a pilling is formed on synthetic fabrics. It is preferable to wash products by hand at temperatures up to 30 degrees. This is enough to get rid of fresh stains and dirt.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/715-0/2021/08/kak-vyglyadit-bukle-i-chto-shyut-iz-tkani-51.jpg)
Woollens are not recommended to be washed due to the fact that they are made from fibers with a hollow structure. During washing, they shrink and shrink.
If you have doubts about washing, you can use the dry cleaning services. However, it must be taken into account: it can affect the structure of natural threads.
It is best to use a liquid detergent for washing. You need to carry out the procedure by turning the product to the wrong side, so as not to harm the canvas.
You can't bleach the material, it won't stand it. You cannot wash it with other things. If the machine wash option is selected, a 10-minute spin at minimum speed is allowed.
Do not twist the garments too much after washing. You need to dry things in a horizontal position so as not to warp or deform them.
The drying time must not be artificially shortened. The use of heaters or heating radiators for this is excluded. Do not iron things with a hot iron.
The processing of things must be done through a thin cotton fabric from the wrong side. Without it, weasels are formed. Especially carefully you need to iron the places of darts, facing, collar lapels.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/715-0/2021/08/kak-vyglyadit-bukle-i-chto-shyut-iz-tkani-52.jpg)
If pellets appear on the fabric, this is not a reason to get rid of them. Such a rush is fraught with pulling the threads out of the general structure, breaking the tension, tightening.
If you are trying to pull off the pilling, you can pull out the knotted thread. You won't be able to insert it back, even if you try hard. If this is so necessary, it is easier to trim the spools with nail scissors.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/715-0/2021/08/kak-vyglyadit-bukle-i-chto-shyut-iz-tkani-53.jpg)
Pilling removers are not always effective. Hair that has accumulated on the surface should be removed with a regular sticky roller.
You need to store the bouclé items correctly. If it is a blanket, a bedspread, a product without a lining, it is better to put the thing on the shelf, having previously rolled it up.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/715-0/2021/08/kak-vyglyadit-bukle-i-chto-shyut-iz-tkani-54.jpg)
Jackets and coats with a lining cannot be removed like this. Therefore, they will have to be hung on a hanger. Considering that dust has the ability to penetrate anywhere, the item can be “covered” with a protective cover.
