Sandnes Garn - Hillsborough Yarn Shop

Meet our newest arrival, Sandnes Garn Sunday!

Sandnes Garn Sunday:

fingering weight
100% merino wool
257 yards/50g

Anne has carried some things from Sandnes Garn since opening the Hillsborough Yarn Shop back in 2006, but PetiteKnit has brought this classic Norwegian yarn company back to our attention.

What to knit with Sunday? Anne just swatched for a “Friday Tee,” by PetiteKnit, a striped, broken rib top in 2 colors.

Here are some more pattern ideas for Sunday:

“Friday Sweater Baby,” by PetiteKnit – striped, broken rib pullover in 2 colors, sizes newborn – 12 months
“Sunday Tee,” by PetiteKnit – wide ribbed yoke tee, adult sizes
“Anker Tee,” by PetiteKnit – ribbed yoke tee, adult sizes
“Anker’s Shirt,” by PetiteKnit – ribbed yoke pullover, sizes 1-3 months – 8-9 years
“Vellichor,” by Andrea Mowry – slipstitch tee in 3 colors
“Camisole No. 2,” by My Favorite Things – ribbed camisole
“Vertices Unite,” by Stephen West – geometric garter stitch shawl in 5 colors

Look for Sunday in the fingering weight section here at our shop! We’re open from 11am-5:30pm, Tuesdays-Saturdays; masks required for entry.

Spring weather is here, which means it’s time for plant fibers – meet the newest addition here at our shop, Sandnes Garn Line!

Sandnes Garn Line:

light worsted weight
53% cotton, 33% viscose, 14% linen
120 yards/50g
$7.50 each

Line is a light worsted weight plant fiber blend that knits up at 5 stitches per inch on a US 6 needle.

It’s soft, cool, machine washable, and drapes beautifully, qualities that make it ideal for warm weather garments.

I’ve cast on for a shop sample in Line, PetiteKnit’s “Anker’s Summer Shirt.” Like every PetiteKnit pattern I’ve tried so far, it’s approachable, practical, and appealing, both to knit and to wear.

Here are some other patterns that would be lovely in Line:

“Sommerknus,” by Elsebeth Judith – textured tee
“Purl Strings,” by Heidi Kirrmaier – tee with textured stripes
“Fine Sand,” by Heidi Kirrmaier – open front stockinette cardigan
“June Top,” by PetiteKnit – stockinette tank
“Cold Shoulder Crop,” by Park Williams – mock turtleneck tee with mesh cap sleeves
“Sommer Ella Solo,” by Lene Holme Samsøe – leaf/lace yoke tee

Look for Sandnes Garn Line in our worsted weight section!
