Boucle Fabric
Boucle Fabrics: Luxurious and Durable in 25+ Colors
Boucle Fabric is a luxurious knitted fabric with properties such as softness, warmth, and an irregular surface with loops and curls. The fabric has a composition of 95% polyester and 5% wool, providing both strength and comfort. This impressive fabric is stain-resistant, virtually wrinkle-free, and easy to work with. The irregular texture makes small sewing mistakes less visible, making it an ideal choice for beginner seamstresses.
While many people associate this fabric with the tweed jackets of Coco Chanel from the 1950s, boucle fabric is now used for much more than just tweed jackets. It is commonly used for (outer) clothing items such as stylish coats, blazers, and dresses. For a beautiful finish on blazers and coats, stretch lining fabrics are often used. If you're looking for a more even fabric for a coat, you might also consider the Caban fabrics.
Boucle fabric is also frequently used for upholstering furniture and home accessories. With a width of 150 cm, the fabric is suitable for upholstering items like poufs or armchairs. While upholstering a large sofa might be challenging due to the width of the fabric, making a fun cushion is certainly possible. For other upholstery options, you can also look at the Curly teddy fabrics.
Boucle Fabric is Suitable for:
- Winter coats
- Coats
- Jackets

Can Curly Boucle Fabric Be Sewn on a Sewing Machine?
Boucle can be sewn on a sewing machine. For this, you can use a universal needle size 80 or 90. For sewing thread, you can use standard polyester thread, and for buttonholes, a special buttonhole thread is recommended.
