Ce point, qui sert à imiter les tapis d'Orient, n'est autre qu'un point d'astrakan, dont les boucles ont été coupées et dont les rangs ont été alignés sans intervalle entre eux. Contrairement au point d'astrakan, le point de peluche demande un gros fil ouvert, tel le Coton Mouliné, pris en simple ou en double, selon la texture du tissu employé. 1, record 2, French, - point%20de%20peluche
