Description
ESTRO by ZEGNA BARUFFA, Italy is a refined lace micro-bouclé yarn spun from a luxurious blend of cashmere supported by a fine polyamide core. The delicate boucle loops create airy volume and a soft halo while maintaining strength and stability. The structure produces fabric that feels light yet warm, with a gentle texture that becomes fuller after washing.
This yarn behaves differently from smooth lace yarns — the loops relax and open during finishing, creating a softer and slightly expanded fabric. Because of its fineness, it is intended to be worked in multiple strands or carried together with another yarn to control transparency and structure.
