About Sandnes Garn Smart
Smart is a dependable all-round wool yarn that combines the natural warmth and resilience of 100% wool with the convenience of machine washing. It has a softer handle than a traditional Norwegian wool yarn, making it comfortable for sweaters, cardigans, children's garments, hats, mittens and everyday knits.
Wool is naturally insulating and breathable, while its resilience helps knitted garments retain their shape. With a standard tension of 22 stitches per 10cm, Smart is a particularly versatile yarn for a wide variety of knitting patterns.
Smart vs Peer Gynt
If you love Sandnes Garn Peer Gynt but want something softer and easier to care for, Smart is an excellent alternative to consider. Both are 100% wool yarns with a knitting tension of 22 stitches per 10cm, making Smart a useful substitute for many patterns designed for Peer Gynt, provided you achieve the pattern's required gauge.
The two key differences are feel and care. Smart has a softer, more merino-like feel, while Peer Gynt has the distinctive character and structure of traditional Norwegian wool. Smart is also superwash treated and machine washable, making it particularly practical for children's knitwear, everyday sweaters and garments that are likely to be washed regularly.
Smart also remains an excellent-value wool yarn, making it a great choice when you want the warmth and versatility of 100% wool with a softer handle and easy-care finish.
In short: Choose Peer Gynt when you want the character, structure and durability of traditional Norwegian wool. Choose Smart when you want a softer feel and the convenience of superwash, machine-washable wool.
Care
Smart is superwash treated and can be machine washed using a wool programme at up to 40°C. Wash knitted garments separately, spin well and dry flat.
Always follow the care instructions on the yarn label.
