Peer Gynt is built for longevity. The tight spin reduces pilling significantly compared to more loosely plied wools, making it a practical choice for garments and accessories that will see regular use. 100% wool in DK weight with a good selection of solid colours: reliable, consistent, and unpretentious. It doesn't have the softness of merino but it has the honest warmth and durability of traditional wool. Hand wash recommended.

dependable, versatile, and ready for anything

Peer gynt is a yarn that we would categorize as a workhorse. Workhorse yarns are dependable, sturdy, and reliable. They’ll help you get the job done: no drama, no complaints, just steady confidence and comfortable results. Built to balance durability with wearability, they’re the quiet backbone of many well-loved garments.

Don’t mistake dependable for dull. Workhorse yarns are wonderful partners for textured stitches and colourwork patterns that deserve to shine. And as always, swatching will help you get the fabric you’re hoping for.
