Bouclé, Looped, Crêpe, Flemmé Yarns

• Bouclé yarn can be two types: usually it is a fancy yarn with an irregular pattern of curls and/or loops giving a nubby surface. The second type of bouclé is a twisted blend consist of a basic, core fiber and effect-yarn wrapped around it so as to produce loops on the surface.
• Crêpe yarn is characterized by a dull, crinkled or puckered surface obtained by the use of either hard-twist weft yarn, the use of yarns twisted to varying tensions, or crêpe wave (in fabrics) - random floats during the weave. It can be made of various types of fiber including silk, cotton, wool, manufactured fibers and blends.
