Description
Beige is a sandy mid-tone, lighter than taupe and warmer than light grey. It is the classic choice for teddy jackets because it goes with jeans, cream and dark brown alike. On a sofa beige looks calm and lets brightly coloured cushions stand out in front of it.
Beneath the curls sits a woven base, not a soft fleece. It gives the fabric body and keeps it stable, but it also means that a teddy jacket or vest needs a lining. Jersey suits stretch patterns, cotton or cotton sateen suits all others.
Wash the fabric on a gentle cycle and skip the dryer, so the curls stay loose and round.
What Teddy Boucle Kodiak Beige by Swafing is suitable for
- Teddy jackets, vests and coats with a lining, because the firm woven backing gives the fabric body.
- Cushions and throws that should feel soft and warm.
- Collars, pocket trims and hoods as a boucle accent on smooth fabrics.
- Bags and accessories where the texture works even without decoration.
Sewing tips
- Die Rückseite ist ein Gewebe, kein Fleece. Jacken, Westen und Mäntel deshalb mit Futter nähen, bei dehnbaren Schnitten mit Jersey, sonst mit Baumwolle uni, Popeline oder Baumwollsatin.
- Alle Teile in dieselbe Strichrichtung legen, sonst wirkt der Flor an Vorder- und Rückenteil unterschiedlich.
- Von links zuschneiden und mit der Scherenspitze nur den Grund schneiden, damit der Flor nicht gekappt wird. Lose Flusen danach absaugen.
- Universalnadel in Stärke 90 bis 100, Stichlänge 3 bis 3,5. Ein Obertransportfuß verhindert, dass die Lagen verrutschen.
- Nahtzugaben schmal zurückschneiden und den Flor aus der Naht herausbürsten, das trägt weniger auf.
- Nicht direkt bügeln. Wenn nötig von links, mit wenig Hitze und einem Tuch dazwischen.
- Bei 30 Grad im Schonwaschgang waschen, nicht in den Trockner.

Frequently asked questions
Does Kodiak need a lining?
For garments, yes. The reverse is a woven base rather than fleece, so a lined jacket or vest is more comfortable and lasts longer. Jersey suits stretch patterns, otherwise use plain cotton, poplin or cotton sateen.
How do I cut boucle without too much fluff?
Cut from the wrong side and use only the tip of the scissors on the base, so the pile stays intact. Afterwards simply vacuum loose fibres from the edges or remove them with a lint roller before sewing.
Is Kodiak suitable for upholstery?
Yes. Thanks to the firm woven backing the fabric holds up well on seats, stools and armchairs. For furniture covers it is worth allowing a little extra so that all pieces can be cut in the same pile direction.
Is the fabric bulky at the seams?
A little, but less than long-pile plush, because the curls lie compact. Trim the seam allowances narrow and brush the pile out of the seam, and the seam almost disappears into the boucle.
