“Regnmoln”, känd på engelska som ”Rain Clouds”, designades för Bohus Stickning av Kerstin Olsson 1963.
The knitting kit for Regnmoln was developed in 2014 from original charts and garments held in museum collections, in consultation with Kerstin Olsson. The design is only available as knitting kit for pullover 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.
Like rainclouds themselves, this design is never just grey. Regnmoln, like the sky itself, is in beautiful shades of grey that shift towards both light blue, green, brownish shades and a steely blue reflecting bluish rain clouds.
However, with hazy transitions made possible with the signature Bohus Angora Merino yarn between lighter yarns with slight shade differences, Regnmoln is knitted almost entirely with only two pattern yarns working simultaneously per row.
The kit contains enough yarn to knit a pullover or cardigan in the largest size XL, which corresponds to the garment's measurement of 117 cm around the chest, and instructions to knit a recreation Design of the original Bohus Stickning pattern in sizes from 92 cm for 117 cm. The model can be knitted with an elastic neck or a folded neck edge, both of which are described in the instructions. The kit also includes a printed pattern chart card with yarn samples for and 8 pattern yarns to use as reference.
The garment is worked from the top down in AngoraGarnets angora/merino yarn with a knitting tension of 33 stitches/10 cm. The patterned yoke for design is worked with only two pattern yarns in one row. Only knit and purl stitches are used. The cardigan is worked back and forth while the front for buttons are worked side by side. for the jumper is worked in the round on circular needles, then worked back and forth on the needles; the sleeves are raglan, the front and back pieces are stockinette stitched and seamed to mimic its original construction. Knitting needles are not included in the kit, but typically 2.0 mm-2.5 mm needles are needed to achieve the correct knitting tension.
Pattern yarns for this design are hand-dyed by Pernille to ensure they reproduce the original design.
The buttons on the original garment were mother-of-pearl buttons 12 mm in diameter with two holes and a small notch between them. Buttons are not included in the knitting kit.
Natural white base color no. 100. Pattern yarns color nos. 96, 28, 211, 129, 164, 218, 318, 17/200
