What does BOUCLE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A yarn with small loops or curls along its length, or the nubbly fabric woven or knitted from it.
The word is French for curled and the loops give the cloth a rough, bumpy surface that traps warmth. It is a classic choice for smart jackets and suits, and the same texture appears in rugs and in knitted sweaters. Compared with a smooth tweed, a boucle looks softer and more tufted.
