Spicy Puno is a soft, light and lofty yarn made from 68% baby alpaca, 10% merino wool and 22% polyamide. The baby alpaca and merino fibres are filled into a fine polyamide net, a special production method that gives a full but light yarn with roughly double the yardage of a traditionally spun yarn.
Gepard describe Puno as one of the softest yarns they have ever worked with, almost like cashmere but with a beautiful, raw look. It is very easy to knit with, whether you are a beginner or prefer working with light, elastic yarns, and it is super comfortable to the touch.
All the fibres are RAS and RWS certified, and, like all wool in Gepard yarns, it is mulesing-free.

This popular Danish brand was created in 1989 by Sus Gebhard; Gepard Garn’s mission is to keep on providing high quality yarns, and inspiring patterns that bring joy to all the creative crafters who love to knit – just like we do.
Gepard collaborates with small, family-owned, Italian yarn mills with tradition and extensive knowledge of spinning and dying – the sort of knowledge that makes them among the premier in Italy both for trend product and classic yarns.
We love the fact that these yarns are unique, high quality and yet accessible. And we love the colour palettes which are always fun and easy to style.
