Peer Gynt | Hand Knitting Yarn

Peer Gynt is one of those yarns that has stood the test of time. First introduced by Sandnes Garn in 1938, it has remained a favourite for generations of knitters thanks to its exceptional durability, beautiful stitch definition and timeless appeal. Spun from 100% Norwegian wool, it creates garments that become softer and more comfortable with wear while retaining their shape for years to come.

Perfect for sweaters, cardigans, hats, mittens and traditional colourwork, Peer Gynt produces a firm, even fabric with excellent structure. The natural resilience of Norwegian wool means finished garments are hard-wearing, breathable and wonderfully warm, making this an ideal yarn for everyday knitwear as well as heirloom projects.

Available in a carefully curated palette of classic neutrals and modern shades, Peer Gynt is the yarn of choice for many of today's leading Scandinavian designers, including PetiteKnit.
