About Gepard Garn
Gepard yarn was established by Sus Gepard in 1989. Their story reflects a deep respect for Scandinavian design traditions and a commitment to craftsmanship that inspires pride in your choice.
Gepard collaborates with small, family-owned Italian yarn mills with long traditions and extensive expertise in spinning and dyeing. This knowledge makes them among the premier in Italy for both trend products and classic yarns.
Sus Gebhard has created an entire universe of knitting where you’ll find not only high-quality yarns but also pattern collections full of inspiration.
The story of Gepard is the story of an artisan and her vision, creativity, and passion for the finest yarns, creating finished products that are both beautiful and durable.
Yarn is never just yarn, never just the soft thread – history, culture and technique are, and have always been, essential to the development of new yarns.
Every fibre has its own personality, and mixing them in a harmonious balance is a unique and exciting challenge that always results in a yarn that is a joy both to knit and to wear.
Throughout the entire production process, Gepard focuses on high-quality products and considers both people and the environment.
