Variations of knitted textured sweater Guernsey Genser in 3 gauges from Sandnes Garn wool, silk mohair and recycled Tweed
Our favorite sweater Sandnes Garn Guernsey Genser is cosy as can be with oversize fit, loose and long sleeves and buttery soft fabric. Multiple stitch patterns and textures keep us knitters interested. Collections 2202 Mykt Til Dame, 2212 Tynn Peer Gynt and 2214 Tweed include Guernsey in different gauges, using different yarns and colors. We love that Sandnes introduces new ways to knit this classic piece of knitwear!
