Description
Boucle 3 (pronounced ‘boo-clay’) is the third addition to our ever-popular Bouclé. It is characterised as a more textured, chunkier pile, and is best described as a woven or knitted fabric with boucle yarns. These yarns are produced from a number of different loops. So, some of these loops feature large circlets, and others feature tiny curls.
Boucle 3 is derived from the French word meaning “curled” or “ringed”. Therefore, it can refer to a yarn made from a series of looped fibre, or the fabric made from it. Wool is the most common fibre to undergo the technique. Although cotton, linen, and silk have also been used to achieve the fabric’s texture. The Fabric Fox has opted to have the Boucle fabric made from Polyester. Therefore, this means that it is easy to clean and is affordable to the consumer. Boucle fabrics have become a staple of fashion houses and midcentury furniture designers.
Why use Boucle fabric?
Boucle 3 fabric provides a unique range of benefits. It is heavy enough to offer some acoustic absorption when used for window treatments, but soft enough to cover a pillow. We are living in a time where comfort and safety are of utmost importance. Our days have become increasingly hectic. Therefore, creating a safe and cozy space at home that encourages well-being is essential. This is exactly the feeling that this fabric creates.
The material pairs well with curvilinear shaped furniture. As demand shifts toward fabrics that are abundant in texture yet breathable in weight, boucle fabrics are making a huge comeback from the iconic 60s and 70s furniture and interior design style offerings.
Available in 13 colours, this fabric will settle in with any contemporary or traditional interior space.
