> TexturesR is a worsted-weight, self-striping boucle yarn that creates a beautiful medley of complementary colors.  Each colorway is inspired by the color palettes found in nature, such as the forest, ocean, meadows, and skies. The tightly twisted, consistent nature of the boucle makes the yarn easy to knit and crochet with, so everyone-even a beginner--will get neat and professional looking stitches. TexturesR works up beautifully to create easy care garments, afghans and accessories.
