We’re thrilled to welcome seven new shades of Isager Bouclé!
Isager Bouclé:
Bouclé is a fine alpaca yarn with one looped ply, which makes a fluffy, textured fabric. It especially shines when held together with a smooth yarn, enhancing simple stockinette.
Here’s my version of Jonna Helin’s “Lento” pullover, knit with Malabrigo Ultimate Sock and Isager Bouclé. It’s even softer and fluffier than it looks in these photos – be sure to give it a squeeze next time you’re here at the shop!
Seeking even more softness? Hold Bouclé together with Isager Alpaca 2!
Some of the Isager shades match perfectly across yarn lines, like those above – these will come together to make a solid color. Others don’t have a perfect match, like the shades shown below – they’ll come together to make a slightly marled blend of colors, adding depth and interest to the fabric.
We have many more fingering weight yarns to choose from – here are “Lento” color ideas pairing Bouclé with Kelbourne Woolens Cricket, a single ply tweed.
And a few more with Kelbourne Woolens Camper…
And a few more with Sandnes Garn Sunday…
And a few more with Brooklyn Tweed Tones Light!
Look for Isager Bouclé in the lace weight section here at our shop, and browse our entire fingering weight section for just the right match to make a “Lento” of your own!
