My Joy & Up-Cycling by Gepard
£8.15 - £9.50

The Newest Gepard Yarn!
My Joy & My Joy Up-Cycling is a lovely soft baby alpaca, merino & organic cotton blend.
Another wonderful "blown yarn" where fibres of the finest grade of baby alpaca and merino are contained in an airy cotton tube. This produces a soft, strong, light and strong yarn that's amazing for both garments and accessories.
Think "Puno", but without the plastic! And slightly more substantial, thanks to the plastic being replaced with cotton.
My Joy Up-Cycling is made from high quality leftover wool collected at Gepard's spinmill. The leftovers are colour sorted, and then blown into the organic cotton tubes to create joyful colourways.
Note that Up-Cycling colourways are limited and once they are gone, they are gone.
These yarns work up in the same way as Snefnug & Snefnug Natur. In fact, they have the same weight, yardage and fibre composition, so you can easily use them together in the same project ☺️. We find My Joy Regular to be a tiny bit softer.
Here's a link to a Ravelry folder of patterns which we love for this yarn (and for Snefnug).
Both My Joy & Upcycling are OEKO TEX 100 certified, and produced in Italy with no additional artificial softeners nor silicone. My Joy is perfect for babies and anyone with sensitive skin. It’s also an eco-conscious and economical choice: the yarn goes further than traditionally spun yarns of similar composition, meaning fewer skeins are needed for the same high-quality result — without compromising on luxury. -

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.
