Mousse 8000 800m/100g (875yds/3.5oz) – 80% Merino Wool 20% Polyamide

A signature innovation from Zegna Baruffa, Mousse is a luxurious bouclé yarn with an irresistibly soft touch and cloud-light texture. Its looped structure gives the fabric a delicate, airy volume, while superfine merino ensures warmth and caressing softness. The added polyamide strengthens the yarn without sacrificing its gentle drape and plush feel.
Perfect for cozy yet refined knits, Mousse wraps you in an almost weightless layer of comfort, making every piece feel like a soft cocoon of air.
