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.
Pleased with my labels from Treasure Modern Knitting
Pleased with my labels from Treasure Modern Knitting. The Petite Knit labels are a nice finishing touch to my Sophie Scarf or any other item. The lady I bought them from was very helpful and wouldn’t hesitate to buy from them again in the future.
Lovely pattern can’t wait to get the yarn and get started. Also bought the Sophie scarf kit which is knitting beautifully. Will definitely be buying here again very soon
Beautiful yarn and the most helpful seller I think I've ever come across
Beautiful yarn and the most helpful seller I think I've ever come across. Kat has gone above and beyond to answer my seemingly endless questions about a knitting project even writing a handwritten note in the package to ensure I adapted the pattern appropriately for the yarn bought.
Wonderfully packaged up, it was a real joy to open the box full of beautiful yarn. Delivered really quickly, I'm so excited to get this project casted on!
Sandnes Garn Kos has not been easy to source so I was really happy to have found it at “Treasure Modern Knitting” and to be able to support a business local to me. My order was dispatched quickly and arrived well packed with a thoughtful note and a stitch marker! The yarn is light and very soft and knits up easily for the pattern I bought it for (Cloud Sweater by Petite Knit). I am very happy
