Sandnes Garn Peer Gynt
100% Norwegian Wool - 8ply/DK Knitting Yarn
Peer Gynt has been on the market ever since 1938, and the structure of the yarn makes it a favorite 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. 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.

Published Saturday, 20 June 20265 out of 5Very wooly wool!! Smells like wool and is probably going to be a little itchy, but so so warm! Very lovely to knit with, will definitely use again for future projects!

Published Friday, 22 May 20264 out of 5I bought the “kit” for the PetiteKnit Zipper sweater light using Peer Gynt. I was delighted with the service from the Ribbon Rose and the quality of the yarn and pattern, first rate. However, I was disappointed that the appropriate zipper was not included in the kit.

Published Thursday, 19 March 20265 out of 5The wool was given to me by my daughter as a birthday gift - it is fabulous to work with & when I sent for more, your company was excellent - order was sent & arrived within 4 days great service.

Published Thursday, 5 March 20265 out of 5This is a new yarn to me - it was the colour which originally drew me to it, and I was a bit skeptical as I like to use merino for garments. The yarn is surprisingly soft, with great construction which will ensure stitch and pattern definition. The colour is gorgeous, so I am really anticipating knitting with it and wearing the finished garment.
