Is This Boucle?

[elvenom]

Hi Ladies,

I have this really pretty coat. I am pretty sure its boucle, but is it wool boucle, or acrylic? there is no fabric label inside; just the Sears Fashions label. Any help would be great. Thank you!

It looks like it might be....do you have a close up of the fabric texture?

Thank you: yes, I think it's boucle. Can't tell you if it's wool or acrylic, but I've never seen an acrylic boucle so I'd be inclined to say wool (but who knows? They may exist. Let's see what others think?)

I would have worn that - cute!

When you're unsure of the fiber content a burn test may narrow it down. Here's an excellent resource with step by step instructions and a handy chart:
