“Blå Skimmer”, känd på engelska som ”Blue Shimmer”, designades för Bohus Stickning av Anna-Lisa Mannheimer Lunn 1947. 

The knitting kit for Blue Shimmer was developed in 1999 from original charts and garments held in museum collections. The design is available as knitting kit for pullover/cardigan with a round yoke, hat, tam, triangular scarf and patterned scarf. 

The garment is available either knitted on light blue (no 134) or a darker gray-blue (no 69) base in an angora/merino yarn spun from 50% hand-clipped angora wool from our own angora rabbits and 50% New Zealand merino wool. The yarn is spun in Denmark at Heinrichsens Uldspinderi and is dyed to match the original yarns. The main colours are dyed at the spinning mill to ensure an even saturation across the whole garment. The pattern colours are hand dyed by Pernille Silfverberg.
