Gepard's Hør Silke is a beautifully crisp and soft summer yarn that's ideal for warmer weather. The linen content gives a wonderful structure and strength, while the silk adds sheen, softness, and drape. Both fibers will be breathable, sweat-wicking, and keep you nice and cool.

HOW IT'S MADE
Gepard is a Danish brand meaning "cheetah" and was founded in 1989 by Sus Gebhard. They work closely with small family-owned Italian mills to create high-quality yarns. This yarn notably uses wild tussah silk, which is a silk fiber that is harvested from wild silkworms. Find out more about Gepard here.
