Teddy Dear was developed exclusively for Gepard to give knitters a bouclé yarn made from 100% natural fibres that is both easy to work with and wonderful to wear.

The yarn is soft, full-bodied and constructed with closed loops, unlike many traditional bouclé yarns where the loops remain open. This special construction allows the needles to glide more easily through the stitches and creates a more even knitting experience. As with all textured yarns, it may take a little concentration at first to find your rhythm, but the reward is a fabric with beautiful volume, softness and life.

Superfine alpaca adds natural softness, fullness and shape retention, while the merino wool contributes elasticity and resilience. The finished knit feels comfortable against the skin, breathable and warm without becoming heavy.

Teddy Dear can be used for many different kinds of designs. Its lively surface is beautiful in simple stockinette projects, but it also creates stunning effects in more textured patterns or when combined with other yarns such as Puno or Woolia.

The former version in 2023 had 10% polyamide, as we now have avoided and made a substitute with pure wool.
