Peer Gynt has been on the market since 1938, and the structure of the yarn makes it a favorite for knitting traditional colourwork sweaters. Peer Gynt remains as popular today as it was then. In the autumn of 2022, we launched a thinner version of exactly the same yarn, with the same good properties - Tynn Peer Gynt.
Peer Gynt's colour range is huge, and coordinates perfectly with the Sandnes Garn Silk Mohair range.
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. Wool is breathable and rarely needs washing. Instead, we recommend airing your wool garments. Garments made of Norwegian wool have a long lifespan and can remain just as beautiful for several generations. As a result, Norwegian wool can contribute to more sustainable consumption.
For machine washing, we recommend that all wool garments be washed separately on a wool program, to ensure the gentlest treatment. Centrifuge well and dry the garment flat, preferably on top of a towel. Never use a laundry bag when washing hand-knitted wool garments. This creates friction that can cause the garment to felt.
