Sandnes Garn / Peer Gynt

Sandnes Garn have collaborated with PetiteKnit to create a unique palette of beautiful, easy to use colours in this yarn base - find the PetiteKnit Peer Gynt colour range here.

Peer Gynt has been on the market ever since 1938, and the structure of the yarn makes it a favourite for knitting traditional kofte sweaters. Peer Gynt remains as popular a yarn today as it was then. 

Garments made of Norwegian wool are light, warm and grow softer every time you wear them. Norwegian wool is durable and pill-resistant, and its superior resilience ensures that garments keep their shape over time.  Be kind to the environment! Wool is breathable and rarely needs washing. Instead, we recommend airing your wool garments.

Our staff love Peer Gynt for it's versatility - often using it interchangeably with other DK weight yarns like Double Sunday. Patterns we love it for include the SG Blome Sweater, PetiteKnit Olga, Franki Sweater, Holger and many more!
