HOW IT'S MADE
While most bouclé yarns use synthetics like nylon, Isager's Bouclé is made of 100% alpaca fibre, meaning it's completely natural and biodegradable. Isager holds high standards for animal welfare, sustainability, and environmental impact. Their yarns come from farms where mulesing is not practiced, and their dye and chemical usage adhere to Denmark and Europe's strict requirements regarding toxic chemicals, dyes, and waste.
PROJECT IDEAS
Bouclé is a fun way to add texture to your projects that looks different than mohair or other fluffy yarns. It gives almost a teddy-bear look to your fabric, and can be super fun for everything from garments to children's clothing, to toys and accessories!
