Sandnes - Thin Peer Gynt
About color reproduction
We always do our utmost to ensure that the product images reproduce the colors correctly. However, monitors display colors differently, some may display them deeper and stronger while others brighter. We therefore cannot guarantee that the pictures show the exact color of the yarn. You can always email us at info@lillagarnbutiken.se if you want to see more pictures.
Wash and care
The yarn producer writes that this yarn can be machine washed on a wool program with wool detergent. Please note that this is only the case if you knit with the yarn alone, if you knit together with other yarn qualities, we at Lilla garnbutiken recommend that you wash by hand.
You can of course wash this garment by hand, we then recommend that you wash with wool detergent, for example Eucalan. Leave the garment in a tub with about 4 liters of water together with a teaspoon of wool detergent. Then gently squeeze out the water and place the garment on a towel. Roll the towel with the garment and squeeze out the water.
If you have a washing machine that can run a spin-only program, you can use this instead of squeezing out the water in a towel. If you are unsure about your washing machine, we recommend that you knit a test patch that you wash and spin to see how the yarn and fabric behave.
Let the garment dry flat, preferably on a towel.
Peer Gynt has been on the market since 1938 and the structure of the yarn means that it has become a favorite to knit cardigans in. Peer Gynt is still as popular a yarn today as it was then. In autumn 2022, Sandnes will launch a thinner variant, it is exactly the same yarn with the same good properties. Garments made of Norwegian wool feel light and become much softer each time you use it. Norwegian wool is durable, does not pill and has a very good tension, which means that the garments keep their shape over time. Think about the environment: wool breathes and rarely needs to be washed, we therefore recommend that the garment be aired. Garments made of Norwegian wool have a long life and can be beautiful for several generations. This means that Norwegian wool is part of a more sustainable way of thinking.
In Peer Gynt and Thinn Peer Gynt, the same fiber is used and they are produced in different thicknesses. Thin Peer Gynt is a 3-ply yarn and Peer Gynt is a 4-ply yarn.
If you machine wash, we recommend that all wool garments be washed on a separate wool program for the gentlest treatment. Spin the garment well before drying it flat, preferably on a towel. Never use a laundry bag when washing hand-knitted garments - this creates friction and can cause the garment to warp.
