Yarn boucle what to knit. How to knit with boucle yarn? Knitting a cozy jacket

It is a special kind of thread, thanks to which you can create original textured products. Decorative threads are made with special irregularities. This feature of boucle yarn gives it increased softness and volume. The production of yarn occurs by applying another material with thickenings in a chaotic manner to a thin thread.

The word "boucle" is taken from the French language and is translated as "curly". This word fully characterizes the structure of microfibers of boucle threads. Of these, experienced needlewomen knit various scarves, head accessories, sweaters, as well as interior items in the form of bedspreads and pillows. For children, you can even knit interesting toys. Let's take a closer look at this material.

Before you start knitting products from boucle yarn, you must carefully consider the process of choosing the right style. The pattern should be as simple as possible, with minimal use of adding and decreasing front and back loops. All kinds of openwork, braids and reliefs are also not suitable. Such ornaments will be completely invisible in knitting. If you have already taken up the boucle, then it will be better to perform a simple front or back surface. Also suitable for garter knitting.

To get a loose knit, you need to use large-sized tools in your work. Knitting needles work best because the possibility of skipping a loop is minimized. If you crochet, you can easily skip the column. This is because it is almost invisible in the previous band.

Another point to consider when knitting from boucle yarn. In order not to go astray and not try to create a product “by eye”, get yourself a notebook with a pen. It needs to record all your additions and decreases in loops, the number of knitted rows. Otherwise, you can go astray, then you have to dissolve the entire canvas. When unraveling, boucle yarn loses its splendor and attractiveness. That's why it's important to record every action you take.

Boucle knitted products

Thinking over the appearance of the desired product, do not forget to take into account all the features of your own figure, as well as the time of year when you want to wear these clothes. It cannot be said that a bouclé jacket or a knitted dress can visually increase your volume.

Knitting warm fibers, such as wool and merino, will be appropriate in cardigans, autumn coats and off-season jackets. In winter, a knitted hat with a scarf and a pair of mittens will look great.

For summer clothes, thin boucle yarn, which mainly consists of organic cotton, is suitable. Products made from such threads are suitable for women with a fragile figure, as a boucle with lumps will give them the volume they need. Tops, dresses can be knitted according to patterns, as experienced needlewomen do.

It is very easy to take care of such bouclé clothes. Wash by hand in non-hot water. The clothes are not twisted, but decomposed on the surface until it is completely dry. After the first wash, the yarn will become much softer and fluffier.

Advantages and disadvantages

Having studied to some extent such material, one can draw the final conclusions of all the advantages and disadvantages. The main plus is that the knitted product will be durable and elastic, and most importantly, the favorite style of clothing will keep its original shape. If the boucle is made of natural wool, then the product is able to have a high thermal conductivity, which gives it another significant plus. And of course, to the touch, such a thread will be pleasant to the body.

Small shortcomings of boucle yarn may not be clearly expressed minuses, since they are associated only with its characteristics. For example, it is not recommended to use this material in machine knitting, as an uneven surface can stall the entire process for a long time or even make it difficult to complete it. The crochet will also be very difficult to handle. Bouqueled clothes are perfect for slender women, but they are not suitable for owners of curvaceous forms due to giving the figure extra volume. Another disadvantage is the price. It is much more expensive than ordinary threads. In order to save at least a little, you should pay attention to domestic yarn. It is in no way inferior in quality to Western manufacturers, and its cost is less.

After purchasing booklet yarn, do not rush to throw away the label with the necessary information: about the length, thickness, brand and lot of the skein. Save it until the moment you finish working on the product. If suddenly you do not have enough material, you can safely buy the one that is indicated on your label. Sometimes a situation may occur when the same skein number differs in color and structure from different manufacturers.

If you are planning to knit a warm, cozy and very soft thing, but do not know which yarn is ideal for this, then we advise you to take a closer look at the boucle yarn. Bouquet yarn can be either with the addition of natural fibers or completely synthetic. This is very convenient for allergy sufferers and owners of sensitive skin who cannot wear natural wool products.

The word "boucle", from which the name of the yarn is derived, is translated from French as "curl" or "curly". This determines the main difference of this thread from the rest. Throughout its length, the yarn consists of fluffy, airy curls. The canvas turns out to be voluminous, soft and resembles the fur of a young lamb.

Consider the composition and properties of boucle yarn from different manufacturers.

1. Pekhorka "Bukley" 30% mohair, 20% wool, 50% acrylic (200g/200m). This yarn is especially soft, which is ideal for knitting children's things, toys, interior items. The palette contains both calm shades imitating undyed wool and bright juicy colors.
2. Alize "Rainbow" 15% alpaca, 15% wool, 60% acrylic (350g/875m). This Turkish bouclé yarn is quite fine with little curls. In addition to the “curly” texture, this thread has an original ombre color, that is, the finished product will have soft transitions from a light shade to a darker one.
3. Nazar "Baby" 100% micropolyester (50g/75m). A voluminous and incredibly delicate bouclé yarn. Ideal for knitting baby clothes, hypoallergenic and washable.
4. YarnArt "Cha Cha Cha" 30% wool, 70% acrylic (100g/16m). This fancy, section dyed yarn is suitable for finishing garments and knitting accessories.

Advantages and disadvantages of yarn

Benefits of using Boucle

There are many advantages to working with boucle yarn:

• No need to come up with a complex pattern. A fabric knitted with a simple satin stitch will already look impressive.
• Work speed. Based on the first point, we conclude that the work goes much faster if you do not knit complex arans or lace. In addition, for the most part, Boucle has a fairly thick thread, and knitting needles for work are at least No. 6, and more often even more. This fabric knits very quickly.
• Tactile sensations. Work is much more enjoyable if the working thread is soft, delicate and very pleasant to the touch.
• Finished products made of boucle yarn hold their shape well, do not shrink much after washing and do not stretch during wear.

Disadvantages of the Boucle thread

Oddly enough, not all needlewomen love a "curly" thread, and here's why:

• Let's return to the first point of the advantages of yarn - this is also its first drawback. Many needlewomen get bored of knitting with plain stitch, and the patterns on Boucle do not look the best. Here we can advise you to use "curls" for finishing finished products associated with beautiful complex patterns.
• The finished canvas has an uneven texture. Not every product will look advantageous in such an invoice.
• A thing knitted with a boucle thread has an additional volume. Keep this in mind when knitting clothes, so that later you don’t realize that it makes you fat.
