Frequently asked questions
Are Peer Gynt and Double Sunday held together?
No. They are separate single-strand designer options. Each has its own main- and stripe-colour metre table because their lengths per ball differ.
How does the neckline open?
Three 15 mm buttons fasten the opening along the left raglan, helping the sweater pass over the head.
