3/1 Mulberry Silk Bouclé | Swiss Silk

Looking for a silk yarn that brings texture, movement, and quiet sophistication to your cloth? Swiss Mountain Silk Bouclé is a character-rich yarn that pairs the natural elegance of silk with a softly looped bouclé structure. Spun in Switzerland from high-quality silk, this yarn is ideal for scarves, garments, statement textiles, and decorative accents.

This yarn is designed to add texture without heaviness. The fine silk core provides strength and continuity, while the bouclé loops introduce softness, visual rhythm, and a gentle three-dimensional quality. Used on its own or combined with smoother yarns, Silk Bouclé brings life and nuance to woven cloth. After finishing, the fabric relaxes and softens, with the loops settling into a cohesive surface that feels supple and expressive rather than bulky.

Swiss Mountain Silk Bouclé shines in projects where surface interest and subtle luxury are central. From contemporary scarves and wraps to textured panels and accent wefts, it offers silk with personality and movement.
