Sandnes Peer Gynt Yarn : Olive 9572

Sandnes Peer Gynt - Olive 9572

A beautifully earthy green with a bit of depth 🌿

Sandnes Peer Gynt in Olive 9572 is a rich, earthy green with a lovely melange effect that gives the colour plenty of depth and character. It's a wonderfully wearable shade for a whole jumper or cardigan, but also a useful addition to colourwork palettes where you want something more interesting than a plain green.

Peer Gynt is made from 100% Norwegian wool, giving it warmth, natural resilience and plenty of spring. It's a proper hardworking yarn for garments you'll actually wear, with excellent stitch definition and good shape retention. Norwegian wool is durable, resists pilling and becomes softer with wear, while the natural structure of the yarn makes it particularly satisfying for knitting.

The melange quality of Olive 9572 makes it especially good for textured knitting, too. Pair it with natural shades, cream and soft brown for an earthy palette, or put it alongside brighter greens, blues or pinks for a bit more colour. We can see it working beautifully in Nordic-style colourwork, cables, cosy jumpers and everyday cardigans.

A classic Norwegian wool that gets better with wear

Peer Gynt has been produced by Sandnes since 1938 and has become a classic choice for substantial knitted garments. Its slightly woolly character and excellent stitch definition make it particularly well suited to cables, texture and colourwork, while the hardwearing Norwegian wool helps garments keep their shape over time.

Yarn details: 100% Norwegian wool; 50g ball; approximately 91m per ball; recommended needle size 3.5-4mm; tension 22 stitches = 10cm. Wash on a gentle 30°C wool programme and dry flat.

Whether you're planning a big cosy jumper, a traditional colourwork project or a beautifully textured cardigan, Sandnes Peer Gynt Olive 9572 is a wonderfully useful shade with enough character to keep things interesting. Earthy, practical and just a little bit fancy - what's not to like?
