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.
The new PetiteKnit shades for Autumn/Winter 2025 are due in stock towards the end of October. These are available for PRE-ORDER - please note due to international shipping this is only an estimate of when they will be available. The new shades are Thunderstorm (6082), Sienna (4253), Velvet Fig (4682), September Sky (6351) and Dusty Noir (3891).
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.
First time trying this wool and it became an instant firm favourite
First time trying this wool and it became an instant firm favourite. The customer service was wonderful and so helpful making sure my yarn was exactly what I needed for my project
yarn is lovely, softer than i expected based on what others have said. despite the shop being on holiday when i ordered, everything arrived quickly, and kat was nice enough to make sure i had noticed the holiday notice! brilliant experience, will definitely buy from here again.
I love this wool.. had quite a search to find 4 ply -its far easier to find double knit..& I wanted merino but not superwash..& this is perfect for my needs.. fab colour true to website picture..I found 2.75 needles produced better texture than 3. Excellent service & delighted with the personal touch on the enclosed postcard. Thank you.
Beautiful yarn, thoughtfully packaged and promptly delivered.
Excellent service. The owner was extremely helpful and I have already placed a second order.
Highly recommended!
What a revelation, I have always avoided using fine yarn. This kit has transformed my knitting experience and I'm a convert.
Thank you Kat, for your recommendation, and your wonderful LYS
