(Summary at bottom)Well to be honest, if you've ever used an actual boomerang, it's really hard to get it to come back to you, the player probably justs makes two sticky ends of the silk, one to the player's hand and the boomerang, uses the charcoal to prevent his hand to sticking (as well as coating the string in charcoal powder so that it doesn't stick to each other) and adjusts how far the boomerang should go as he/she throws it and then pulls it back to him/her, that's why it magically comes back to you, the rope would be too obvious ;). Considering the tensile strength of silk is high, it won't break that easily.

Silk->attached to hand and boomerang, player pulls the silk to bring the boomerang back

Charcoal->prevents sticking of silk
