Sandnes Peer Gynt Yarn : Light Grey Melange 1032

Sandnes Peer Gynt - Light Grey Melange 1032

A timeless grey that goes with everything 🩶

Sandnes Peer Gynt in Light Grey Melange 1032 is one of those wonderfully useful shades that earns its place in any knitting cupboard. Soft, understated and gently heathered, it's a classic light grey that works beautifully as the main colour for a jumper or cardigan, but is equally handy for stripes, colourwork and textured knitting.

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 designed to be worn, with excellent stitch definition and good shape retention. Norwegian wool is naturally durable and resistant to pilling, while knitted garments become softer with wear.

Light Grey Melange is particularly good if you love a classic Scandinavian palette. Pair it with natural, cream and white shades for a beautifully calm look, add charcoal and black for a more graphic contrast, or bring in stronger colours for Nordic-style colourwork. The subtle melange also gives simple stocking stitch a little extra depth, while cables and textured stitches really show off the character of the yarn.

A classic Norwegian wool with excellent stitch definition

Peer Gynt has been part of the Sandnes range since 1938 and is particularly well suited to proper everyday garments. Its distinctive structure gives excellent definition to cables, ribs, textures and colourwork, while the natural wool provides warmth, elasticity and resilience.
