Sandnes Garn - Peer Gynt

We also stock Peer Gynt in PetiteKnit signature colours*

Peer Gynt is Sandnes Garn's oldest yarn, on the market since 1938 and still one of the most trusted DK weights in Scandinavian knitting. Spun from 100% Norwegian wool, it has the firm, slightly rustic structure that makes it the traditional choice for kofte sweaters, and the crisp stitch definition that shows colourwork at its best.

This is a hardworking yarn rather than a delicate one. Norwegian wool is durable and pill-resistant, with the resilience to keep a garment's shape through years of wear, and it softens gradually the more it is worn. That makes it well suited to jumpers, cardigans, hats and children's garments, anything that needs to take a beating and still look good.

Wool is breathable and rarely needs washing, so airing a garment between wears is usually enough. When it does need cleaning, machine wash separately on a wool programme at a maximum of 30°C, spin well, and dry flat on a towel. Never use a laundry bag for hand-knitted wool, as the friction can cause felting.
