Starry Night // Boucle Lace
Bouclé yarn is a highly textured, knotted yarn featuring loops, curls, or "boucles" in its plies, often used to create a cozy, fluffy, or sheep-like appearance in garments .
This yarn is wonderfully versatile and can be used in a wide range of projects. It knits up beautifully on its own on a wide range of needle sizes and can be used as a light DK through to chunky. Combine it with a fingering/sock weight or DK weight yarn to add warmth and texture without weight to jumpers, scarves and cowls.
There is a generous 600 metres in every 100 gram hank so a little goes a long way.

Care Instructions
Gentle hand wash in cold water and dry flat under shade. Due to the nature of the dye, some bleeding may occur. Wash dark colors separately.
Each skein is unique. While they may be hand dyed in the same lot, the tones may vary from one skein to another.
As with all hand dyed yarns, I would recommend that you use two skeins at a time, alternating from every couple of rows/ rounds (unless it is a one-skein project).
All fibres are hand washed, but due to the nature of the dye, some bleeding may occur. Recommended hand washing separately and lay flat to dry.
