Why Makers Reach for Pillow‑Soft Bouclé
- Unmatched Loft » Big, springy spirals trap air for cushiony warmth without extra weight.
- Organic Cotton Comfort » Breathable, hypoallergenic, and gentle against baby‑soft skin.
- Easy‑Care Durability » Machine‑wash & tumble‑dry; loops fluff up after every cycle.
- USA Grown & Spun » Short supply chain, consistent dye lots, and eco‑conscious production.

Project Inspiration
- Weaving – Cushy towels, spa robes, lap blankets. Plain‑weave sett: 8 epi (bouclé warp & weft) │ 10 epi (twill)

Tips for Working with Bouclé
- Keep stitches simple » Stockinette, garter, or single crochet let the loops shine.
- Size up tools » US 8–10 (5–6 mm) needles or I–K (5.5–6.5 mm) hooks for smoother flow.
- Use markers » Place every 10–20 sts—loops can hide counts.
- Relax tension » Cotton bouclé has minimal stretch; loose grip = fluffy fabric.
- Swatch & wash » Wet‑finish to see true gauge; cotton shrinks a touch and lofts up.
Care Instructions
- Wash: Cold/lukewarm, gentle detergent, delicate cycle or hand‑wash.
- Dry: Lay flat or tumble low; reshape while damp.
- Refresh: Light steam revives loft; avoid high‑heat pressing.
