Yarn Specs
The Brand

Soft, sustainable, and seriously luxurious - this yarn is everything you want in a cashmere yarn (and then some).

Spun from 100% recycled Italian cashmere, this yarn is sourced from surplus materials from top Italian fashion houses—meaning you’re knitting with the same ultra-luxurious fibres used in high-end designer pieces.

With its buttery-soft feel, subtle tweedy texture, and lightweight warmth, Eco Cashmere Vintage brings that perfect blend of elegance and wearability. It knits up into a fabric with a gentle drape and just the right amount of rustic character—like your favourite vintage cashmere sweater, only better (because you made it).

• Eco-friendly & ethical – made from 100% recycled designer cashmere
• Unbelievably soft – light, warm, and dreamy against the skin
• Understated luxury – a touch of texture for that effortless, lived-in look
• A joy to knit with – smooth and forgiving, perfect for mindful making

We're thinking timeless sweaters, elegant shawls, or the softest beanie you’ll ever wear. Plus, the gorgeous, muted color palette is pure sophistication—think natural, earthy tones straight from the catwalk.

Sustainability, style, and pure high-fashion indulgence—all in one perfect skein.

Here's a Ravelry folder full of pattern ideas for this gorgeous yarn.

A Note from Gepard:
Cashmere is a fiber that loves room to breathe. This yarn is alreawdy finely washed and then hanked. You can make your yarn even softer and fuller by steaming it. It will make it even more wonderful to knit with.

How to steam your yarn:
• Remove label, and untwist the hank. Give it a little shake to loosen the loops.
• Fill a large soup pot with approx 2cm of water in the bottom and bring to the boil.
• Place a metal sieve over the pot and place yarn lightly and loosely in the sieve - 1 hank at a time.
• Wait 1-3 mins, until you see the yarn as expanded. Feel free to move the yarn along a bit so the steam is well distributed.
• Hang the hank to air for approx 30 mins.

(If you choose not to steam the yarn, it will become more voluminous after the first wash, which may alter gauge and tightness of stitches.)

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.
