We held out on Peer Gynt for a while since we already love Double Sunday, and how many great DK-weight Norwegian wool yarns does one shop need? Turns out, at least two.
Peer Gynt is a classic 100% Norwegian wool with more structure, bounce, and crisp stitch definition than Double Sunday. It’s a little more rustic and woolly, making it especially wonderful for cables, colorwork, textured sweaters, and hard-wearing garments that get better with age. It holds its shape beautifully, resists pilling, and has the kind of durability that makes it a true sweater yarn.
If, like us, you love the softness and smoothness of Double Sunday, think of Peer Gynt as its sturdier, more traditional cousin, and consider swapping it in when structure and texture are called for.
