Foragers Fruit
Cosy Bouclé Knit Irish Wool
Constructed from a clever bouclé yarn, this super-cosy knitted wool fabric is rich in colour and texture. A forager’s dream; imagine country strolls, with hedgerows filled with the deep hues of ripe blueberries, rosehips, blackberries and sloes. Juicy & delicious!
This brushed bouclé knit delivers all the warmth and character of a hand-knit. Naturally flexible, it drapes beautifully at length for garments such as jumper dresses, oversized tops, and statement winter pieces. Designed for layering or as an outer knit, this fabric combines effortless cut-and-sew construction with a durable, fray-resistant finish (though finishing raw edges is still recommended).

Bring Your Bouclé to Life
Imagine a fabric that feels like a cosy hug even before it’s sewn. This wool-blend bouclé knit is soft, textural, and full of life, its light but chunky surface catches the light, revealing subtle curls and a spectrum of forest-fruit hues that deepen as you move.
Turn it into jumper dresses, oversized tunics, or slouchy outer layers, and watch it come alive. The natural stretch of the knit gives every seam a gentle ease, letting your patterns fall perfectly into relaxed and flattering silhouettes.
Sewing this fabric is a pleasure: the bouclé texture holds its form well, allowing you to experiment with shapes and layers without worrying about distortion. Once worn, the results are clear: garments that wrap and drape with comforting weight, rich colour, and effortless style.
Designed to be layered or worn as an outer layer, this bobbly beauty has a lived-in character. Completing your project with edge finishes will help your creation keep its shape and polish, elevating every piece you make.
Dawn's Amara Vest
Fabworks Product Specialist and lifelong sewist, Dawn, couldn't wait to create this cosy hug of a garment when she saw Forager's Fruit Bouclé. Teamed with the Amara Vest by Tessuti Patterns it's a perfect fit for the project!
The boxy style is great for layering and a super quick satisfying make with only two main pattern pieces, plus pockets. Who doesn't love pockets!
Dawn decided to bind the neckline, armholes and pocket tops in a chic black wool flange trim to tidy the edges for a tidy finish in this quick & easy project.

Rich, Textured Bouclé Straight from Ireland
Fabworks’ journey with fashion and lifestyle brand, Avoca, began in 2011, long before Fabworks Online existed and when our Mill Shop was still taking shape. Our friendship started with selling surplus fabrics from Avoca’s previous seasons, a remarkable collection of Irish-made pure wool fabrics, complemented by beautifully detailed trimmings, embroidered silks, lightweight satins, Liberty jerseys, and the crowning jewel: Irish-made Donegal Tweed. That first shipment sparked a lasting partnership, allowing Fabworks to focus on high-end ladies’ dressmaking fabrics and establishing our reputation for exceptional quality, colour, and craftsmanship.
Discover the full story behind Fabworks x Avoca and get a behind-the-scenes look at our 2024 visit to Ireland in our blog article on the return of this much-loved collaboration.
