Bohus Stickning Papegojan

2745 kr - 3095 kr

"Papegojan", known in English as "The Parrot" was originally designed for Bohus Stickning by Anna-Lisa Mannheimer Lunn in the mid-1940s. 

The knitting kit for this design was developed in 2021 from original charts and garments held in museum collections and is recreated as pullover or cardigan with a straight yoke and with patterned front.

The garment is knitted on Natural Grey base (no 2S) in our Bohus Lambswool. This yarn is spun with lambswool sourced from New Zealand. The majority of the yarns also include approximately 2% Gotland Fur sheep wool, sourced from England which provides a marled appearance. The yarns are spun in Denmark at Heinrichsens Uldspinderi and are dyed to match the original yarns. The natural grey base colour is coloured naturally without dye by the inclusion of British Gotland fur sheep wool. Otherwise, base colours are dyed at the spinning mill to ensure even saturation of colour across the garment. The pattern colours are hand dyed by Pernille Silfverberg.
