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.
