Bohus Stickning Yxorna

2425 kr

The axes, known in English as "The Axes", were originally designed for Bohus Stickning by Emma Jacobsson in the mid-1940s. 

The knitting kit for this design was recreated in 2000 from original charts and garments held in museum collections. It is available as a pullover/cardigan with a full patterned front. There are three colour variations.  The design in white on a black base, the design in heathered grey brown on gray-brown pattern on natural grey base, and the design in black on a heathered brown base.

The garment is knitted on a base of our Bohus Lambswool in either Black, Heathered Brown or Natural Grey. 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.
