Gepard’s HØR is a fine linen yarn in a palette of stunning contemporary hues.

Dyed in Italy, this crisp yet luxey linen softens beautifully with wear.

For projects we’re thinking spring tees, summer singlets and shawlettes in endless variation.

Why not experiment with linen this spring/summer season?

Featuring alpaca, linen and bamboo with soft tweedy flecks, Mirasol’s Ch’ichi is a somewhat unusual blend.

We adore the alpaca for its softness and warmth, the linen for its drape, the bamboo for its luminance and the tweed for adding a rustic touch.

So, is it a winter yarn, a summer yarn, a rustic yarn? Perhaps something in between!

In a palette of delightfully sunny summer hues, we think this curious yarn will brighten any mood.
