“Capri” was designed by Anna-Lisa Mannheimer Lunn for Bohus Stickning in the 1940s.

The knitting kit for Capri is based on original patterns and models from museum collections. The pattern is recreated as a Pullover/cardigan with a round yoke and a fully patterned front and as a triangular shawl.

This accessory is knitted in a two-strand lambswool yarn from Henrichsen Uldspinderi in Denmark. The lambswool yarn consists of merino wool from New Zealand and a small portion from Gotland fur sheep, guaranteed mulesing-free. Capri is knitted with four pattern colors that are hand-dyed by Pernille Silfverberg using original yarns. The background is knitted in a light gray, mottled lambswool yarn.

The knitting kit for the Capri triangular shawl contains yarn for one size approx. 130 cm x 80 cm per side, height to tip approx. 45 cm.
