Sandnes Peer Gynt Yarn PetiteKnit : Night Sky PK5591

There is a very good reason why Peer Gynt DK wool yarn has been a staple on the needles of makers since 1938-it’s quite simply one of the best "workhorse" yarns in the world. This is 100% Norwegian wool that hasn't been superwash treated, which means it retains all those wonderful, natural properties we love. It’s sturdy, resilient, and has a fantastic "bounce" to it that makes it a dream to knit with. If you’re planning a project that needs to hold its shape - like a traditional Fair Isle jumper or a structured cardigan - this is exactly what you need.

Because it’s Norwegian wool, it’s exceptionally hard-wearing and resists pilling, meaning your hard work won't look "tired" after a few months. Instead, you’re creating an heirloom piece that could easily be passed down through the family for generations!

Kind to your wardrobe and the planet

We’re all trying to be a bit more mindful of our environment, and Peer Gynt is a great choice for the eco-conscious maker. Because the wool breathes so well, your finished garments rarely need a full wash—usually, a good airing out on the line is all it takes to freshen them up. When you do need to give it a proper clean, just use a gentle wool programme and dry it flat. It’s an authentic, "slow fashion" yarn that rewards your time and effort.

Whether you’re a beginner making your first "proper" woolly hat or a confident knitter embarking on a complex cabled jumper, this yarn is a steady, reliable companion. It gives wonderful stitch definition, making every knit and purl pop. We think every stash needs a bit of Peer Gynt - it’s a bit of knitting history that still feels perfectly modern today.

This is a special PetiteKnit colour which is like a dark navy.
