Sandnes Peer Gynt Yarn : Marzipan 2321

Meet Sandnes Peer Gynt in Marzipan 2321, a warm, understated shade with just the right amount of softness. If you're looking for a versatile yarn that works beautifully on its own but also plays nicely with other colours, this is a very good place to start. Peer Gynt is made from 100% Norwegian wool and has the sort of lovely, crisp stitch definition that makes knitting a particularly satisfying business. I

t's a dependable yarn for everything from simple stocking stitch to cables, texture and colourwork, and the finished fabric has plenty of warmth and durability too. We think Marzipan is especially useful when you want a gentle neutral that isn't quite beige and isn't quite pink - it's the sort of shade that can quietly pull an entire colour palette together. Use it for cosy jumpers, cardigans, hats, mittens and other everyday knits, or pair it with stronger shades when you fancy adding a bit more colour to your project.

Peer Gynt is also a great choice if you're ready to move beyond little projects and start knitting something properly wearable. It's substantial enough for garments, but still lovely to work with, and the excellent stitch definition means all that careful knitting doesn't disappear into a fuzzy cloud.

A proper workhorse yarn, but a very good-looking one We love yarns that earn their place in the cupboard, and Peer Gynt definitely does. It's versatile, hardwearing and full of character, while Marzipan 2321 gives you a wonderfully easy-to-use colour for building a handmade wardrobe.
