Zegna Baruffa · Mousse 8000 · 800m/100g (875yds/3.5oz) · 80% Merino Wool (WV), 20% Polyamide (PA)
Mousse is an ultra-light, aerated yarn with a softly structured, slightly spongy strand. The fiber is not tightly spun; instead, it has a lofty, micro-puffed construction that traps air, creating volume without weight. This structure gives the fabric a gentle halo, subtle elasticity, and a soft, cushiony hand feel. In knitting, Mousse produces a cloud-like fabric with delicate texture and visual softness, making it especially suitable for lightweight garments, layering pieces, and airy silhouettes. Despite its lightness, the polyamide content adds durability and shape stability.
