I am using Peer Gynt right now to make PetiteKnit's Eva Cardigan. I agree it's pretty rustic, even with occasional pieces of straw to pull out (in your swatch I had to look for them, but I picked Poppy red and they stand out). My swatch softened a good bit after one wash, so I can imagine it will continue to soften with additional washes. I'm also interested in Brooklyn Tweed yarns and/or Noro Madara.
Thank you Julia for your thoughts! I did notice a few straw pieces too, and it softened some when blocking our swatch, but you're exactly right- it should soften more over time too! I would love to hear your thoughts after you've completed your cardigan! And wow, a Poppy Red Eva Cardigan would be so fun! Noted for the recommendations!:)
Like you, I'm sensitive to wool and itchy fabrics. So, I'm not sure what to do with the seemingly BAZILLION patterns that call for holding lace weight mohair because I've also read that mohair can be especially irritating. In that regard, I want to suggest an episode on alternatives in general and Compatible Cashmere by Knitting for Olive specifically. Thanks for your channel!
great review! thank you so much! Do you plan to review Lana Grossa? Lana Grossa is like really huge in Germany and its neighboring countries but I never watched any knitters living in the North America review or even mention Lana Grossa brand. So, I'm very curious, how you guys feel compared to other yarn brands.
@@UntwistedThreads hi! I have made 3 petiteknit Louvre sweaters, an Ingrid sweater, and an Ingrid slipover in Peer Gynt. I’ve also made two Petiteknit melange sweaters with Tynn Peer Gynt. I have a few more in queue as well. The yarn is so nice to work with, holds its shape, and wears really well. It’s slightly scratchy at the neckline but I don’t mind the feel of wool. It’s my ultimate workhorse yarn!

I would love to see a review of Brooklyn tweed shelter/ arbour, Noro Madara and Hudson and west forge!
Thank you for the recommendation Katherine! I will add them to our list! :)

You are exactly right! Thank you for the recommendations! I would love to explore and share some mohair alternatives!:)
Interesting! Would you please do Patons Classic Worsted?
I'm interested in seeing how it compares to this one.
TY!!
We can certainly add that one to our list! We did a review for their Kroy Sock in the winter yarn if you'd be interested in that as well:)
Yes! I was just checking to see if that yarn had been reviewed yet
You can purchase it from Mother Knitter in NJ.
Thank you for sharing Stephanie!:)
Super helpful, thanks so much!❤
I'm so happy I could help!:)

You're welcome! I'm so happy you enjoyed it! I would love to review Lana Grossa, thank you for the suggestion!:)
Cool wool baby, cool wool big...@UntwistedThreads are yarns my sister loves to use for my toddler and I agree, very commonly used here in Germany
My favorite yarn ❤❤
I would love to hear what you have made with this yarn if you'd like to share!:)

@@calvin7592 Wow, that is amazing! I'm so happy to hear that you have found a yarn that you know and love so much!
Don’t forget that Peer Gynt is available in a lot of Canadian yarn shops. With the currency exchange it might be very affordable
That is a great point! Thank you Denise!
Wonder if it shrinks or expands with washing!
@@yyyy-qg4ep Wool yarns typically bloom and grow with blocking :)
I just thought about it like, yesterday
How fun! Great timing!:)
