Proudly produced in Italy to Oeko-Tex standards, each skein is 50g with approximately 175 meters of yarn. It knits comfortably on needles between 3-5 mm, with around 4-6 skeins recommended for a sweater in sizes 38-40.

What Can You Knit with Hør Silke?
Hør Silke is perfect for airy blouses and lightweight garments, especially for warmer weather. For a delightful project, try knitting the Cilla Sun by Anne Ventzel, set to release in mid-May 2024.

What Makes This Yarn So Special?
Hør Silke offers a unique, fluff-free volume with lightness, softness, and a gentle, natural sheen that only silk can provide. The yarn’s 70% linen and 30% silk composition is specially crafted for Gepard Garn in Italy, bringing you a blend that’s elegant and effortless.

Tips for Knitting with Hør Silke
Hør Silke knits beautifully on needles from 3 to 5 mm, with 4 mm being a great middle ground. For a fuller texture, try pairing it with a thread of Cashmere Lace on larger needles. As you knit, you might notice the stitches seem to "dance," but after the first wash, everything smooths out to reveal a polished, stunning fabric.

For the best fit, gently stretch your work when measuring length, as this yarn will only adjust slightly after washing, with your knitting tension and pattern ultimately determining the final fit.

Care Instructions
For that luxuriously relaxed, smooth look, soak your Hør Silke knitwear in room-temperature water for about a day before pressing it dry in a towel. Air drying is best, as tumble drying can be too harsh on linen.

For future washes, you can hand wash or use a machine at 20-25°C for just 5 minutes with a gentle spin, using a laundry bag to protect the fabric. Avoid high-speed spins to prevent creasing in the linen.

Hør Silke from Gepard Garn promises to bring sophistication and natural beauty to any project—enjoy the journey and the beautiful results!
