At first glance, it looks like a fashion bouclé yarn designed primarily for texture, but once knitted and washed, it reveals a completely different personality. The finished fabric becomes softer, more fluid, and surprisingly elegant while maintaining all the beautiful character of the bouclé and flammé texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"729\" data-end=\"1053\"\u003eThis rare 100% silk yarn creates fabric that feels more like a luxury designer textile than traditional knitwear. Even simple stockinette becomes visually interesting, and the texture does most of the design work for you. If you enjoy yarns that create garments people notice and ask about, BOUCLE FLAME is a true Rare Find.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1055\" data-end=\"1433\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1055\" data-end=\"1083\"\u003e▣ Product Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Manufacturer: Exclusive Italian Mill, Italy\u003cbr\u003e• Article: BOUCLE FLAME\u003cbr\u003e• Fiber Content: 100% Silk\u003cbr\u003e• Color: Natural Cream \/ Panna\u003cbr\u003e• Yarn Category: Chunky Weight Fashion Yarn\u003cbr\u003e• Yarn Structure: Bouclé + Flammé (Malfilé)\u003cbr\u003e• Yarn Count: Nm 1\/1.5\u003cbr\u003e• Yardage: approximately 150m \/ 164yd per 100g (3.52oz)\u003cbr\u003e• Formats: ORIGINAL CONES ONLY\u003cbr\u003e• Origin: Made in Italy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1435\" data-end=\"1453\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1435\" data-end=\"1453\"\u003e⋔ Swatch Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1455\" data-end=\"1767\"\u003eI knitted my sample on US 8 (5 mm) needles and was genuinely surprised by the result. Looking at the cone, I expected a heavily textured fabric, but what impressed me most was the drape. After washing, the sample became noticeably softer, silkier, and much more fluid while keeping all the character of the yarn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1769\" data-end=\"2028\"\u003eWhat surprised me even more was how well the yarn worked in open fabric structures. Despite the bouclé texture, the knitted fabric remained lightweight and airy rather than bulky. The fabric moves beautifully and has a very modern, fashion-forward appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2030\" data-end=\"2278\"\u003eOne thing worth mentioning is that this yarn does not feel like a typical shiny silk.
