The Cutting Table · a common question

Do you have teddy, sherpa or bouclé fabric for cushions?

Also asked as:Do you have teddy fabric?Do y'all have sherpa?

Most of my days go to canvas that fights the rain. Teddy sits at the other end of the rope: soft, deep, and the nearest thing to bouclé on the workshop's charts.

The quick answer

Teddy fabric, with its own color chart, is the closest match to bouclé, and a curly, knotted bouclé collection coded 0- appears on the trapezoid listing. Teddy is polyester and costs more than the velvet or the easy-clean soft fabric. The linen is not a bouclé, since it has no looped yarn, and the velvet is polyester, not silk.

Teddy is the nearest thing to bouclé on the charts

The fuzzy-fabric question usually arrives in one breath: teddy, sherpa or bouclé? The answer is teddy. It has its own color chart, and the workshop counts it as the nearest option to bouclé.

True bouclé does turn up in one place. A collection coded 0-, with a curly, knotted face, sits on the trapezoid cushion listing. If you want the real loop, start there.

Teddy is polyester, and it costs more than the velvet or the easy-clean soft fabric. Like good foul-weather gear, you pay for the loft.

Three fabrics that are not bouclé

  • The linen: no looped yarn in it. Ask for close-ups and you can check the texture yourself.
  • The velvet: soft and durable, but polyester velvet, not silk.
  • Teddy itself: the closest look, but a polyester pile, not a looped bouclé yarn.

Where a teddy cover earns its keep

In my trade, canvas takes the weather. Teddy takes the living room. It suits the pieces you sink into: a floor cushion, a pouf, a stack of throw pillows. One order paired two 18 x 18 in (46 x 46 cm) pillow covers with a 19 x 19 in (48 x 48 cm) one, all in beige teddy.

Loops and pile can catch on a ring or a claw, friend. The bouclé and teddy care Pattern covers snags and brushing, and the bouclé and teddy swatch family lays the textures side by side.

Which room is your teddy cushion headed for?

The linen on the cushion charts is not bouclé because it has no looped yarn; teddy, a polyester pile, is the closest bouclé look.

Buyer questions

  1. A common question

    Do you carry teddy, sherpa or bouclé fabric?

    The workshop's answer

    Teddy, yes. It comes with its own color chart, and the workshop considers it very close to bouclé.

  2. A common question

    What are the teddy, velvet and linen made of, and is the linen a bouclé?

    The workshop's answer

    Teddy and velvet are both polyester; the velvet is a soft, durable polyester velvet, not natural silk velvet. The linen is not a bouclé and has no yarn-loop construction. Close-up photos are sent so you can check the texture.

  3. A common question

    Which fabrics can I choose from for a custom cushion?

    The workshop's answer

    Three main indoor families, linen, velvet and the easy-clean soft fabric, each with a chart of roughly 40 colors, plus teddy, corduroy, 100% cotton or linen, faux leather and a water-repellent outdoor range. Thousands more fabrics can be sourced on request.

  4. A common question

    Is everything plain, or do you have patterned fabrics too?

    The workshop's answer

    Mostly plain colors, but stripes, oriental designs, plaid and tartan, patterned velvets and animal prints sit on extra charts. A print you found elsewhere can sometimes be sourced from a photo, at a higher price.

Questions buyers ask next

Can I see the texture before I choose between teddy and bouclé?

Yes. The shop sends close-up photos of its fabrics so you can check the texture, which is how buyers confirm the linen has no loops. Ask for close-ups of teddy and the 0- bouclé in the same message.

Does teddy cost more than velvet?

Yes. Teddy is priced above both the polyester velvet and the easy-clean soft fabric. Velvet gives a soft hand for less; teddy gives the deeper, fleecy pile that reads closest to bouclé.

Which listing carries true bouclé?

The trapezoid cushion listing carries a bouclé collection coded 0-, with a curly, knotted texture. For other shapes, teddy is the closest option, so ask in messages if you want the 0- fabric on a different cushion.
