Derived from the French Boucler - "to curl," Boucle (Boo-clay) yarn is typically made up of 3 strands of yarn with one strand being looser that the others, creating a curled or bumpy effect. Both the yarn and the fabric created from the yarn use the term.
Boucle yarn, usually, knits up quickly (unless you have some unraveling issues), and fluffy. It's beautiful on it's own, but can also be "jazzed up" with a carrying yarn, such as an eyelash.
Lorna's Laces Grace. A mohair blend boucle. Worsted weight/ size 8 needles. Care: Hand wash and dry flat.
I got 2 skeins (again) of Iris Garden - another scarf - going to alternate in some "stripes" of plum colored eyelash - for an even more dramatic look.
This hand dyed yarn is a work of art -
