Mouliné (Stranded yarn in English): a French term for a yarn made up of two threads of different color twisted together to produce a characteristic brilliant effect.

Opal Bouquet Mouliné is a beautifully variegated yarn with a unique twist — a fine black thread running throughout, adding depth, contrast and a subtle textured effect to every stitch. This clever construction enhances the colour changes, creating rich, tonal fabrics with a softly heathered look. Made from Opal’s classic durable wool and polyamide blend, it’s ideal for socks as well as accessories and lightweight garments. Produced using mulesing-free wool, it offers both eye-catching design and a more mindful choice for knitters who value animal welfare.
