Zig Zag Rayon Boucle
Zig Zag is a shiny, supple rayon bouclé that is hand-dyed in Wisconsin by Keli Potter of Interlacements Yarn.
A fantastic yarn in both woven and knitted pieces, creating fabrics that swing and drape beautifully.
They also make great accents when combined with other yarns. There is so much yardage in these skeins!
Zig Zag comes in a reeled hank, which must be wound into a ball before use.
- 100% rayon
- 8 oz hank / 500 yards per hank
- 1000 yards per pound
- sett: 10-12 ppi
- bouclé
- Hand wash or wash on gentle cycle. The trick to this rayon is to spritz it lightly and put it in the dryer for 3-5 min. It gets so soft and drapy!
This yarn is featured in our Positive Intensions Shawl Kit. You can request this free shawl pattern with any order of two or more skeins of Zig Zag.
Note: Some colors in this yarn tend to bleed with the first 1-2 washes. We recommend washing with color catchers for the first few times through the laundering process.

I know my limitations with design, so I like to try kits. The Zig Zag rayon yarn is very nice, but it does unravel to fuzz, if allowed. The shawl wove up nicely, per the directions, and I got to try a new technique with pick up. My issue is with the length and density of the shawl. The completed shawl is a bit heavy, so hangs heavy and it is too long. Also, the pick up directions (something I've never done before), were not clear as to where to throw the shuttle - in front of or behind the stick. I am an intermediate floor loom weaver. Cotton Clouds is a very nice store to work with.
