Italian plum/sorbet novelty boucle' sweater knit
contents: wool/cotton/poly
width: 59"
origin: Italy
Well, what to say about this truly exceptional sweater knit? It's a blend of wool, cotton and synthetic fibers, highly textured and chunky with a combination of very thick wool yarns and a thinner tweedy knit backing for a truly original and remarkable fabric. It's thick, cozy, chunky, dimensional. The glorious colors are raspberry, plum, eggplant and orange sorbet with a french roast and pearl-toned background (PANTONE 19-2434, 19-3218, 14-1227, etc.). The reverse is more of a flat weave and could be used as contrast. It also has neat selvedges that could be used for edging. 15% widthwise mechanical stretch. Make a wonderful chunky cardigan jacket or coat, poncho, vest, etc. Dry cleaning is probably best.
