The Parrot is originaly designed by Anna-Lisa Mannheimer Lunn early 1940s, recreated by Pernille Silfverberg 2021.

To recreate The Parrot original charts were closely studied and vintage garments carefully examined in museums and private collections to make sure that the resulting patterns and yarns would match the original Bohus Stickning garments as closely as possible.

All yarns for The Parrot are of 100% lambswool. The pattern yarns are naturaly colored or hand dyed by Pernille Silfverberg to match the original Bohus Stickning pattern colors. The main color is a natural gray.
We guarantee that the wool used is produced without the controversial practise mulesing. The yarn is spun at a family owned mill in Denmark.

One pattern color, the yellow was in the original Bohus Stickning in angora yarn. The yellow color varies quite a lot from one original garment to another. We offer kits with two options of the yellow color. Kits available in the webshop are with the lighter yellow color in pure woolen yarn. If you wish the slightly darker green yellow in angora/merino instead you willhave to contact us for a specialized order (see the picture of original sample and pullover for an idea of this alternate more green yellow color in angora / merino yarn).

Pattern copyright: Bohus Stickning. Pernille Silfverberg, AngoraGarnet has 2014 been authorized to continue the work of recreating Bohus Stickning after original Bohus Stickning such as Solveig Gustafsson began to do it in 1999.
