Peer Gynt is a classic Norwegian wool yarn with a long heritage of use in traditional Scandinavian sweaters and garments. Spun from 100% Norwegian wool, it creates durable, breathable fabric that softens beautifully with wear while still maintaining the structure needed for long-lasting knits.
This DK-weight yarn has excellent stitch definition and a slightly rustic character that makes it ideal for textured stitches, cables, and colorwork. It’s especially beloved for traditional Nordic sweaters, but works just as well for hats, mittens, and everyday garments built to last.
Because Norwegian wool is naturally resilient and temperature-regulating, projects made with Peer Gynt are warm, breathable, and wonderfully suited for outdoor wear.
