What is bouclé fabric and how is it woven?
Bouclé is woven using looped yarns that create a soft, tactile surface with distinctive texture. These textured yarns are woven on a loom to produce a fabric with an irregular appearance, rich depth and natural dimension. The result is a characterful textile that offers both visual and tactile interest.

Does bouclé fabric snag, and how do I protect it?
Due to its looped construction, bouclé can be more prone to snagging if caught on sharp objects.

To help protect the fabric, avoid contact with rough surfaces and pets' claws.
