Sandnes Peer Gynt Yarn : Velvet Fig 4682

A rich, fruity shade with serious knitting potential 🍇

Sandnes Peer Gynt in Velvet Fig 4682 is a deep, sophisticated shade with a lovely richness that makes it particularly tempting for autumn and winter knitting. It's one of those colours that feels grown-up without being boring - beautiful as the main colour for a jumper or cardigan, but equally useful for stripes, colourwork and contrasting details.

Peer Gynt is made from 100% Norwegian wool, with the natural warmth, resilience and bounce you'd expect from a proper wool yarn. It's a particularly good choice for everyday garments because Norwegian wool is durable, holds its shape well and becomes softer with wear. It's also a structured yarn with excellent stitch definition, so cables, textures and colourwork all show up beautifully.

Velvet Fig is especially good if you're drawn to deeper, more atmospheric colours. Pair it with creams, soft pinks and warm neutrals for something understated, or throw in a brighter shade for colourwork that really pops. And if you're planning a cosy cardigan or a proper winter jumper, this is exactly the sort of hardworking wool that deserves a place on the needles.

A dependable wool yarn for proper knitting projects

Peer Gynt has been part of the Sandnes range since 1938 and is still hugely popular for garments where you want good structure and long-lasting wear. Its slightly rustic character and crisp stitch definition make it particularly satisfying for textured knitting, cables and traditional colourwork, as well as simple everyday pieces.

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 wool programme and dry flat.

Whether you're casting on a big cosy jumper, a beautifully textured cardigan or a colourwork project you've been mentally planning for months, Sandnes Peer Gynt Velvet Fig gives you a lovely combination of colour, warmth and dependable performance. A very good excuse to choose a new knitting project, if you ask us.
