Sandnes Garn Peer Gynt classic Norwegian Wool yarn is aran weight workhorse yarn for every sweater. Peer Gynt yarn 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 by Sandnes Garn remains as popular a yarn today as it was last century. Knitted garments made of Norwegian wool 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. 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.

Care: Be kind to the environment! Wool is breathable and rarely needs washing. Instead, we recommend airing your wool garments. 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.
