Sandnes 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 Sandnes Peer Gynt 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!
Sandnes Peer Gynt 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.
PLEASE NOTE: Some of the melange shades are made from mixing natural, undyed shades of pure wool. They can very occasionally be a bit more sheep-fragranced as a result. If you're not a fan of this, you can put the yarn in the freezer or soak your finished garment in a vinegar solution to get rid of any unwanted aroma.
Looking for a different shade we don't currently have in stock? Just drop me a line and I can order it in for you.
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.
I am so pleased to have discovered Treasure. Ordering was quick and easy and there was so much choice. My parcel arrived quickly, beautifully wrapped and with a hand written note, such a thoughtful addition. I will be back for more yarn for sure!
Lovely yarn, which was speedily despatched. I don't often leave reviews, but wanted to on this occasion because of the excellent and helpful customer service that I received.
Great needles, thought the twisted needle was very pretty and a bit of a gimmick, well they are lovely to knit with, really smooth, I do seem to knit a lot longer with them as I enjoy the way the stitches move on them, came as part of PetiteKnit Sophie scarf yarn kit-Beginner Friendly also Double Sunday Sandnes Yarn is perfect, felt a bit firm, not as squishy as expected, it is lovely and soft now it is knitted up.
I would absolutely recommend this shop to anyone looking for Sandnes yarn. This was the only one that had all 3 colours I needed for a jumper I’m making. Plus, I ordered Sunday evening and it was in the post by 8am Monday. Will definitely be ordering more double Sunday from here!
Wonderful service! Got an email explaining that there would be a longer wait, even if I knew the colours were preorders, and then the package arrived just a day or so later! Would 110% buy from Treasure Knitting again! <3 And not to mention the wonderful quality of anything from Sandnes Garn - All the best from a Norwegian studying in Wales
