Gepard Garn - Curly Cotton

Curly Cotton is a unique, exciting, and incredibly lightweight bouclé yarn, primarily made from cotton & silk and featuring a beautifully distinctive texture.

Its special spinning process and the fine balance of cotton, silk, and a touch of extra-fine merino create a yarn that is soft, flexible, and gentle against the skin. 

The lightness of the yarn makes it ideal for light-feeling garments you’ll reach for again and again. Curly Cotton creates knitwear with a lovely drape that holds its shape. Lightness also means fewer balls for a project.

Curly Cotton can be worked on a range of needle sizes, allowing you to shape the final look exactly as you wish. For a more structured jacket with Chanel vibes, use US 4 (3.5 mm). For a more relaxed, easy-fitting sweater, try US 7 (4.5 mm).

The characteristic bouclé and tweed texture adds depth and interest that elevates even simple designs. It’s also a great yarn to pair with a companion strand such as Kid Seta, if you’d like extra softness or a fuller fabric.

When knitting with a companion strand, use US 6–10 (4–6 mm) needles.
A companion strand is also a lovely way to subtly shift or tone the colour of your project.
