A heritage yarn with roots stretching back to 1938, Peer Gynt has earned its place as the preferred choice when making authentic Norwegian kofte sweaters. Spun from premium Norwegian wool, this yarn delivers exceptional warmth and lightness while developing a luxuriously soft hand with each wearing.

The fiber's natural resilience resists pilling and maintains garment shape beautifully across years of wear. Norwegian wool's inherent breathability means your finished pieces rarely require washing—simply air them to refresh. Investing in garments made from this enduring fiber supports a more conscientious approach to fashion, as quality wool pieces transcend seasons and trends, becoming treasured heirlooms passed through generations.
