Sandnes Garn Peer Gynt - 8ply

Sandnes Garn Peer Gynt – 100% Norwegian Wool

Peer Gynt has been a trusted classic since 1938 and remains one of the most beloved yarns for handknit garments. Spun from 100% Norwegian wool and not superwash treated, it has long been the go-to choice for cardigans, sweaters, and traditional knits thanks to its durability, structure, and timeless quality.

Norwegian wool is light yet warm, naturally breathable, and softens beautifully with each wear. It is highly resilient, with excellent elasticity that allows garments to keep their shape for years. Peer Gynt pills very little and offers the kind of longevity that makes handknits truly heirloom pieces—garments that can be enjoyed for generations. Choosing wool is also an environmentally mindful choice, as it often needs only airing rather than frequent washing.
