Sandnes Peer Gynt Yarn : Deep Petrol 7281

Sandnes Peer Gynt - Deep Petrol 7281

A deep, moody blue-green with plenty of character 💙

Sandnes Peer Gynt in Deep Petrol 7281 is a rich, deep blue-green shade that sits somewhere between petrol blue and a wonderfully dark teal. It's got enough colour to make a statement, but it's still incredibly wearable - particularly lovely for autumn and winter jumpers, cardigans and cosy accessories.

Peer Gynt is made from 100% Norwegian wool, giving it warmth, resilience and plenty of natural spring. It's a proper hard-wearing yarn for everyday garments, with a structure that gives excellent stitch definition and helps knitted pieces hold their shape. Norwegian wool is also known for being durable and becoming softer with wear.

Deep Petrol is a particularly useful colour for colour-work too. Pair it with pale neutrals for a crisp Scandinavian feel, combine it with other blues and greens for something tonal, or use it as a dark contrast against brighter shades. It's equally at home in cables, textured knitting and simple stocking stitch.

A hardworking Norwegian wool for proper knitting projects

Peer Gynt has been a Sandnes classic since 1938, and its distinctive structure makes it especially satisfying to knit. The round, plied yarn gives lovely stitch definition, so cables, texture and colourwork all have plenty of definition, while the natural wool makes garments warm, resilient and designed for plenty of wear.

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 30°C wool programme and dry flat.
