Sandnes Peer Gynt Yarn : Monk's Robe 2564

Sandnes Peer Gynt - Deep Monk's Robe 2564

A rich, earthy brown with serious Scandinavian style 🤎

Sandnes Peer Gynt in Deep Monk's Robe 2564 is a warm, earthy brown with a wonderfully natural feel. It's the sort of colour that makes you want to knit something properly cosy - a classic jumper, chunky cardigan or traditional Nordic design - and it works just as beautifully as a grounding shade in colour-work and stripes.

Peer Gynt is made from 100% Norwegian wool, giving it natural warmth, resilience and plenty of lovely woolly character. It's a proper hardworking yarn for garments that are made to be worn, with excellent stitch definition and good shape retention. Norwegian wool is durable, naturally elastic and resistant to pilling, while knitted garments become softer with wear.

Deep Monk's Robe is particularly good if you like those lovely earthy, outdoorsy colours that sit happily alongside almost anything. Pair it with natural and cream shades for a beautifully understated palette, add rusts and warm reds for something richer, or combine it with greens and blues for a more traditional Nordic feel. It's also a fantastic base for colourwork, giving brighter shades plenty of contrast without being quite as stark as black or charcoal.

A proper Norwegian wool for cosy, hardworking knits

Peer Gynt has been part of the Sandnes range since 1938 and its distinctive structure has made it a long-standing favourite for traditional knitted garments. The yarn gives excellent stitch definition for cables, ribs, textures and colour-work, while the natural Norwegian wool brings warmth, durability and good shape retention.

Yarn details: 100% Norwegian wool; 50g ball; approximately 91m per ball; recommended needle size 3.5-4mm; tension 22 stitches = 10cm. Wash separately on a gentle 30°C wool programme and dry flat.

Whether you're knitting a beautifully simple brown jumper, a traditional Nordic cardigan, a cosy textured knit or some hard working everyday accessories, Sandnes Peer Gynt Deep Monk's Robe is a wonderfully versatile colour with plenty of character. Warm, earthy and very easy to imagine living in - exactly what we want from a good woolly yarn.
