1840 kr - 4495 kr

“Gotiska Fönstret Rosa”, känd på engelska som ”The Gothic Window Pink”, designades för Bohus Stickning av Kerstin Olsson 1962. 

Knitting kit for Gotiska Fönstret Rosa was developed in 2008 from original charts and garments held in museum collections, in consultation with Kerstin Olsson. The design is available as knitting kit for a pullover/cardigan with a round yoke, a hat and a patterned scarf.

The garment is knitted on light gray-beige (no 96) angora/merino base 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.
