Bohus Stickning Yellow Fire

1840 kr - 4670 kr

“Gul Eld”, känd på engelska som ”Yellow Fire”, designades för Bohus Stickning av Anna-Lisa Mannheimer Lunn 1948-1953. 

The knitting kit for Gul Eld was developed in 2014 from original charts and garments held in museum collections. The design is available as knitting kit for a pullover/cardigan with a round yoke, and as gloves.

The garment is knitted on light natural beige base in an Angora yarn spun from 50% hand-cut Angora wool from our own Angora rabbits and 50% New Zealand Merino wool. The yarn has not been dyed, but comes from our natural brown, wild brown and above all yellow Angora rabbit wool. The pattern yarns are hand-dyed by Pernille Silfverberg to match the original yarns. The yarn is spun in Denmark at Henrichsens Uldspinderi.
