Bohus Stickning Yellow lace collar

4670 kr

Gula Spetskragen, known in English as "The Yellow Lace Collar", was designed for Bohus Stickning by Karin Ivarsson in 1961 as part of a collection of similar designs, including the Large Lace Collar and  the Pink Lace Collar.

The knitting kit for Gula Spetskragen was developed in 2001 from original charts and garments held in museum collections. The design is  only available as knitting kit for a pullover/cardigan with a round yoke.

The garment is knitted on natural white base in an angora yarn spun from 50% hand-cut angora wool from our own angora rabbits and 50% New Zealand merino wool. The white angora wool in the yarn comes from our naturally white angora rabbits and is not bleached. The pattern yarns are hand-dyed by Pernille Silfverberg to match the original yarns. The yarn is spun in Denmark at Henrichsens Uldspinderi.
