made in Norway


Made in Pure New Norwegian wool, Peer Gynt entered the market in 1938 and has since than become Sandnes flagship yarn quality and one of Norway's best known yarns. The need for a rougher and better fitted DK weight yarn led to the development of Peer Gynt, made of long stable wool fibers. This makes it perfect for felting projects as well as warm winter garments.

  • Sandnes Garn

    Sandnes Garn today holds the position as the largest producer of hand knitting yarn in Northern Europe, one of the world’s most up-to date spinning mills – in one of the oldest factories still running. Our goal is for everyone taking part in the production of our yarn; animals and people, are taken care of in the best possible way.
  • wool

    Wool is a textile fibre produced by the shearing of sheep. The breed of the sheep, where it was raised, and how the fibre was treated after shearing can all affect the final characteristics of wool. While some is quite harsh and rough, other wool can be luxuriously soft and squishy. As a fibre, wool is very good at trapping heat, and is one of the few fibres that stays warm even when wet.
  • mulesing free

    Mulesing is a controversial farming practice used, predominantly in Australia, to prevent the parasidic infection flystrike. While mulesing prevents infection, it is a very painful procedure for the animal to endure, and more humane alternatives exist. This practice is banned in many areas of the world. If a yarn is marked as mulesing free, that means that no animals were treated this way during the production of the yarn.
