Sandnes Peer Gynt Yarn : Arctic Ice 5811

Sandnes Peer Gynt - Arctic Ice 5811

A beautifully icy blue for your next knit ❄️

Sandnes Peer Gynt in Arctic Ice 5811 is a gorgeous pale blue with a cool, fresh feel - the sort of shade that brings a little bit of wintery Scandinavian colour to whatever you're knitting. It's wonderfully versatile too, working beautifully as a main colour for a jumper or cardigan, or alongside stronger shades in stripes and colourwork.

Peer Gynt is made from 100% Norwegian wool, giving it warmth, resilience and plenty of natural bounce. It's a proper dependable wool for garments you'll actually wear, with a structure that gives excellent stitch definition and helps knitted pieces hold their shape. Norwegian wool is known for being durable and resistant to pilling, while becoming softer with wear.

Arctic Ice is particularly good if you like your knitting colours on the cooler side. Try it with crisp whites, soft greys and deeper blues for a classic Nordic look, or use it as a lovely pale backdrop for brighter colour-work. It's equally happy in simple stocking stitch, cables, textured patterns and traditional knitted garments.

A classic Norwegian wool with serious knitting credentials

Peer Gynt has been part of the Sandnes range since 1938, and there's a reason it's still going strong. Its lovely woolly structure gives crisp stitch definition, while its natural resilience makes it particularly well suited to jumpers, cardigans and other hard-working everyday knits.

Whether you're planning a chunky Nordic-style colour-work project, a beautifully simple everyday jumper or just need the perfect pale blue for a bit of contrast, Sandnes Peer Gynt Arctic Ice is a lovely yarn to have on your needles. Cool, classic and very easy to wear - basically the knitted equivalent of a crisp winter morning.
