Zegna Baruffa Mousse 70 Wool 30 Polyamide Bouclé Cone Yarn · 1/14Nm · Italy

This bouclé yarn from the Italian house Zegna Baruffa pairs soft virgin wool with a fine polyamide binder, forming gentle loops along its length that give a lively, textured surface and a light, cushioned handfeel. Spun at 1/14Nm, it is airy yet resilient, making it especially suited to textured knitwear and pieces that value quiet character and dimension.

The color 500025 is a deep burgundy — rich, wine-dark, and understated, with a warm tonal depth that feels refined and timeless. It is especially suitable for statement knitwear, textured jackets and cardigans, and minimal aesthetic designs built around a considered palette.

As an industrial surplus yarn, this cone provides consistency in spinning quality while maintaining flexibility for creative development. The virgin wool brings warmth, loft, and softness, while the polyamide binder secures the loop structure and lends strength and lasting shape.

Important Notes

• This yarn is soft and looped, with a textured bouclé surface and light body
• For best results, swatch before production to test tension and fabric density
• Cone yarn is different from skein yarn and must always be swatched before knitting to evaluate shrinkage and gauge
• Bouclé loops can catch on rough needles or hooks — smooth tools help the yarn feed evenly
• The looped structure gives an uneven surface by design; this is a feature of the yarn, not a flaw
• For added structure, it can be combined with a fine smooth yarn held together
• Some cones may be rewound onto empty cones without original mill labels
• May have mild outer dust or storage marks
• Sold as is, without retail packaging
• All yarns are 100% functional with no visible flaws or defects affecting usability
• Please note that cone yarn is wound in an industrial format
• In rare cases, internal breaks may not be visible from the outside of the cone
• Please allow approximately 2%–3% knitting loss, which is standard for cone yarn handling
• In case of yarn breaks, pull away about 10 cm of yarn before rejoining and secure with a small cross-knot to reduce tension and avoid distortion in the knitted fabric
