What kind of material does 'bouclé' in the product name refer to?

Bouclé does not refer to a color or season, but to the appearance of the yarn. Instead of spinning the yarn straight and taut, twisting and weaving it so loops pop out here and there creates a bumpy, grain-like texture on the surface; yarn and fabric made this way are called bouclé. Therefore, looking at the name alone tells you what kind of surface this knit has, but you still cannot know what it is made of.

The answer lies in the composition ratio. The outer fabric of this knit disclosed by Low Tide is woven with 47% Acrylic, 35% Nylon, 15% Wool, and 3% Polyurethane^[1]. Generally, acrylic is used as a fiber that gives a volume similar to wool while being lightweight and reasonably priced, nylon resists friction and acts as a backbone to keep yarn from easily snapping, wool adds warmth and natural elasticity, and polyurethane adds stretchiness to recover after expanding, even in small amounts. Since looped weaves easily have threads pulled out when caught on rough surfaces or bag straps, it is often recommended to hand-wash such fabrics inside out in a laundry net or dry them flat.

hmmm, reading only the composition ratio does not tell you what the surface of this garment looks like, and reading only the name bouclé does not tell you what it is made of. The two pieces of information cannot replace each other; only when placed together does the outline of the garment take shape.
