bouclé

Bouclé is both a yarn and a fabric made from it. The yarn is made from length loops of similar size that range from tiny

circlets to large curls. It is nubby fabric - to make bouclé, at least two strands are combined, with the tension on one

strand being much looser than the other as being connected to its plies. Loose strands form loops; the other strand is

an anchor for the previous one. Bouclé is also a name of the fabric produce from this type of yarn, especially fabric that

maintains the looped appearance.

The starting point for the conception of this fabric has been the yarn. By appealing to our know-how we have designed

a bouclé yarn with such a composition to have the possibility to choose which fibers have to be dyed and which ones

have to be kept as natural. In this way we can obtain a wider and deeper range of colour shades. We opted for viscose

and acrylic in order to finally have fibers with excellent features of strength and softness and, at the same time, different

dye affinities.

Its warp, with a very fine yarn and a high thread count has been chosen for the consistency of the fusion between style

and technique. If on the one hand you can almost have the feeling that the bouclé yarn is floating intertwined with a fine,

quite invisible thread, on the other hand cotton gives the fabric such a strength and consistency.

Last but not least, the piece dyeing process. We opted for acid and cellulosic dyes, always leaving the acrylic untouched.

In this way we can finally obtain colour tones with a natural, slightly mélange look. The finishing process with the use of

silicon-based products makes the fabric soft and smooth, so that our hand can confirm what our eyes have previously

perceived.

*Durable fabric is made, using the most appropriate materials and processes to produce upholstery that remains to be in mint condition over time.

Natural – more than 75% of natural fibres.
