Sandnes Peer Gynt Yarn : Eucalyptus 8051

Sandnes Peer Gynt - Eucalyptus 8051

A soft, leafy green with a Scandinavian feel 🌿

Sandnes Peer Gynt in Eucalyptus 8051 is a gorgeous muted green with a natural, botanical feel. It's soft rather than shouty, making it an incredibly wearable shade for a whole jumper or cardigan, but it also works beautifully in colourwork, stripes and little contrasting details.

Peer Gynt is made from 100% Norwegian wool, giving it warmth, natural 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 and resistant to pilling, while garments become softer with wear.

Eucalyptus is one of those useful greens that plays particularly nicely with other colours. Try it with creams and natural shades for a calm, understated palette, combine it with deeper greens and blues for a tonal look, or use it as a softer contrast against brighter colours in a colourwork project. We can also see it looking rather good in a simple textured jumper where the lovely stitch definition can do the talking.

A proper Norwegian wool for everyday knitting

Peer Gynt has been part of the Sandnes range since 1938 and has a lovely reputation for knitted garments that need to stand up to regular wear. Its distinctive structure gives good stitch definition for cables, ribs, textures and Nordic colourwork, while the natural wool brings warmth and resilience to the finished garment.

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 planning a classic Nordic jumper, a cosy cardigan, a beautifully textured knit or some everyday accessories, Sandnes Peer Gynt Eucalyptus is a lovely combination of colour and dependable woolly goodness. A bit of eucalyptus green on your needles? Yes please.
