Ashlea Head (verified owner) – March 12, 2023

It was a nice yarn to work with. I made an oversized sweater with it.
Lisa Wilson (verified owner) – September 23, 2023

I used this wool yarn because it was called for in my pattern. It was nice to work with, had good stitch definition and some springiness. I also really loved the color. The price is so good on this terrific yarn that it is reasonable to knit something that requires a lot of yarn. I am grateful because who wants to work that hard and have a project made with poor yarn? My recipient thought the yarn is a little scratchy but will be wearing a t-shirt underneath anyway. Also, it will likely soften with wear.

Love this yarn. I made the Petite Knit Jenny Jacket in Heather gray. Soft and springy with good stitch definition.

Sandnes Garn has been my go to yarn since discovering it. Peer gynt was my introduction to the brand. With 100% wool I was anticipating scratchy yarn but I was so wrong. This yarn is lovely! Can feel a bit rough when working with it but finished objects feel so soft and squishy (and get softer with every wash!). Not only does Sandnes Garn prioritize animal welfare, sustainability and reducing water use; they offer high quality yarn at an affordable price. I have not been able to keep quiet about this yarn, I tell everyone who will listen about it lol.
