Portuguese term or phrase: FLAMÊ
o importante é ter peso no look porque aqui você simplesmente vai precisar de uma calça jeans ou de uma calça de couro, com uma blusa “podrinha”, aquele tecido flamê bem levinho, e isso só para começar depois você pode ter várias interpretações.

English translation:flammé
Explanation:
This type of yarn is called flammé in English. It derives from French. It is a kind of slub yarn, which has looser spun areas, creating a decorative slubby effect.

"Flammé yarn; slub yarn (2)
reinforced, oval- (flame-) shaped area along the yarn, creating a voluminous decorative effect. "

From the Texsite.info online textile dictionary.




"Flammé yarns are a kind of novelty yarn. It is generally a loose or untwisted core wrapped by at least one other strand. The extra element can be a metallic thread, or a much-thicker or much-narrower strand of yarn, or yarn that varies between thick and thin. Some companies have come to put twin yarns on the market to show off combinations of one regular yarn and novelty yarns in assorted colors or even two different types of novelty yarns."
