A drapery painting from the partly preserved medieval murals in Allerum church in the province of Skåne inspired the corrugated rib and the wave patterned border on the mitten Allerum Draperi och Bladknippe. The main motif of the mitten is a spiral border from the top of the drapery. The vaulted ceiling above is decorated with stylized vines and thin leaves in bunches, painted in black on the limewhashed surface. The mitten has such a bunch of leaves, knitted in intarsia with black yarn on the top side of the mitten. Allerum Draperi och Bladknippe means drapery and bunch of leaves from Allerum in swedish.
Allerum Draperi och Bladknippe mitten is available in two sizes: Ladies S and ladies L/mens M. Measurement of garment: approx. 27 (29) cm long and 10 (11,5) cm wide.
Yarn: 100% wool 2-ply from Kampes Ullspinneriprodukter (100 g = 300 m) or similar, and a small amount of Drops Baby Merino from Garnstudio or similar (the black yarn that is used for the intarsia motif should be as non-fuzzy as possible, to prevent the dark fibres from spilling over into the lighter yarn).
