Sandnes Peer Gynt Yarn : Pale Pink 4202

A soft pink with plenty of possibilities 🌸

Sandnes Peer Gynt in Lotus 4202 is a gorgeous soft pink that's easy to wear, easy to pair and very tempting when you're choosing colours for your next knitting project. It's gentle without being too sugary, making it a lovely choice for everything from a full-colour jumper to delicate stripes, colourwork or smaller accessories.

Peer Gynt is a 100% Norwegian wool yarn with a wonderfully natural feel and excellent stitch definition. It's a proper all-rounder for knitting, giving cables, texture and colourwork plenty of definition while creating a warm, durable fabric that's made for being worn and enjoyed. Sandnes lists Peer Gynt at 22 stitches per 10cm on 3.5-4mm needles.

We think Lotus is particularly good if you like your pinks a little more grown-up. It works beautifully with neutrals, deeper shades and other soft colours, so you can build a whole palette around it rather than having to treat it as a one-colour wonder. Try it for a cosy jumper, cardigan, hat, mittens or a colourwork project when you fancy introducing a softer note.

A proper wool yarn for proper knitting

One of the things we love about Peer Gynt is its versatility. It's sturdy enough for everyday garments but has plenty of character, with the stitch definition needed for cables, textured patterns and colourwork as well as simple stocking stitch.

Yarn details: 100% Norwegian wool; 50g ball; approximately 91m per ball; recommended needle size 3.5-4mm; tension 22 stitches = 10cm. Use wool detergent, wash the garment separately and dry flat.

Whether you're planning your first proper knitted garment or already have a queue of projects waiting for their turn, Sandnes Peer Gynt is a dependable, characterful yarn that's lovely to work with. And Lotus 4202? Well, sometimes the answer to "Do I really need another pink?" is quite obviously yes.
