Puno is one of the world’s first blow yarns and is a classic in Gepard Garn’s range. Puno consists of the finest selected baby alpaca and the softest merino wool, which makes it elastic, light, and incredibly soft.
The yarn is almost reminiscent of cashmere and is ideal for knitting for delicate bodies such as babies or people with extra sensitive skin. It is also particularly environmentally friendly and economical, as it has a greater yielt than traditonally spun yarn of the same material. The result is that knitters use fewer skeins and at the same time get high quality knitted garments at an affordable price.
If you want an extra warm and soft sweater, Puno is the best choice. Warm and light due to the baby alpaca and all the air contained in the yarn.
Puno has the widest gauge range. This means that you can choose Puno and succeed with many different gauges, and that you can choose from many different patterns. Puno is the most versatile yarn you can find.
Puno can be used on needles from 5 mm up to max. 9 mm, depending on the design. Many choose to add a Kid Seta companion thread, and in this way the knitting can be tuned exactly to the look you desire. At the same time, extra fullness is achieved in the work, resulting in a very beautiful outcome.
If you only want the sweater to be warm and light, knit Puno on its own on needles 5.5-8 mm. You can make your knitting extra warm by knitting on needles 5.5-6 mm and possibly adding a Kid Seta companion thread. Puno is always pleasantly warm due to the large amount of air contained in the yarn.
