White Gum Wool yarns are made from 17-micron superfine merino wool. This is the calibre of wool used in the finest of Italian men’s suiting, and gives an amazing softness and handle to the yarn.
Our boucle is a wrapped yarn, made like a traditional bouclé (French for ‘buckled’), but because of the extreme loft and softness of WGW fibre, it feels more like a soft chenille than the typical stiff boucle most people imagine. It’s great yarn for beanies, scarves and blankets, as it knits up quickly and is very warm and light as a knitted fabric.
Boucle also is the base for our Rope yarn, which uses 4 strands of boucle plied together to make a super chunky yarn.
