Boucle
Description
This article starts from the base of knowing that mohair top spun worsted makes the most sublime loops and explores the following questions: What if we switch fiber preparations and instead of combed, it’s carded? What happens if it’s not mohair but a wool not known for its looping properties? Will it give interesting bumps and squiggles along with loops? Will it still look like a boucle or is fiber preparation just as important with this yarn structure too?
