Feature Fabric Friday - Wool Blend Boucle!
Pals, we wanna introduce you to RICK RACK's Feature Fabric Friday! Every second week we will bring you a new feature fabric... from wool to silk, knits to wovens, patterned to plain, we will cover it all!
Along with the fabric description, project recommendations and helpful tips, newsletter subscribers get 15% off the feature fabric that Friday! (Pssst! You can sign up HERE!)
This Friday's Fabric is: Wool Blend Boucle
This magnificently textured wool knit comes in 4 subtle and stylish colours: Ballet Pink, White, Black, and Charcoal. The curly front face of this fabric adds interest without going over the top, meaning you can create classic looks that won't fade into the background. While the moderate drape means it can hold up to your favourite jacket patterns, you can also sew outside the lines and go for more unconventional pieces without fear!

Handy dandy Tip:
Making a wool project with a placket or waistband? To reduce bulk, use a thin coordinating cotton or linen on the inside rather than your main wool fabric.
Want to go really wild? Why not try a super patterned fabric like this Liberty Tana Lawn in Wiltshire Rose or Birch's Cotton Poplin Mushrooms in Cream.
