Den anden dag postede jeg min Exmoor jumper på Instagram. Den vækker minder fra en rejse i England i sommeren 2018 men den bringer mig faktisk også tilbage til ca 1990.
Dengang havde min søster, @FrkSibbes, Sy og Strik i Stege på Møn. Her brugte jeg meget tid, en skøn tid ♥
I Sy og Strik kunne man købe stof, garn og broderigarn. Lige netop broderi garnet havde stor betydning. Jeg broderede ikke et eneste sting men Søs og jeg kunne falde i staver over farverne. Disse små garn bundter i alle regnbuens farver. Så tog vi måske 20 ned i en eller anden farve kombination og sagde i kor ‘eeejjjj’ af begejstring og snakkede om alt det man kunne lave, meget inspireret af Kaffe Fasset ♥
Så hængte vi dem op igen. Og så pillede vi 20 andre farver ned og sådan gentog det sig …. ofte.
Da jeg, i sommeren 2018, kom ind i John Arbon Textiles butik i Lynton, North Devon fik jeg det lidt på samme måde.
Jeg opholdt mig længe i butikken. Lavede farvekombinationer, om og om igen.
Valgte skønne farver
Så snart jeg var kørt, blev jeg grebet af panik; havde jeg valgt de rigtige farver!
Hurra for internettet, jeg kunne jo heldigvis bestille mere af det skønne garn.
Det blev til Exmoor Jumper i tre variationer.

Der er brugt Knit By Numbers og Viola, DK, 100 g = 250 m
Find det fantastiske garn på www.jarbon.com
Eller find alternativ, måske
Cotton Wool 5 Organic fra www.gepardgarn.dk
Jensen Yarn fra www.isagerstrik.dk
Rough Ridge DK fra www.maniototowool.co.nz
Eller måske du har noget i gemmerne du kan bruge.
Hvis du strikker en Exmoor jumper vil jeg elske at se et foto af resultatet ♥
Måske i en ny farvekombination ♥
Rigtig god weekend fyldt med solskin og strikketøj

The other day I posted my Exmoor Jumper on Instagram. It bring back memories of a trip in England in the summer of 2018 but it actually brings me back to about 1990 as well.
Back then, my sister, @FrkSibbes, had the shop ‘Sew and Knit’ in Stege on the Island of Mön. Here I spent a lot of time. Good times ♥
At ‘Sew and Knit’ you could buy fabrics, yarn and embroidery. The embroidery yarn was of great importance. I didn’t make one single embroidery stitch but Sis and I just swam into the colours. These small skeins of yarn in all the colours of the rainbow. We chose maybe 20 skeins in some colour combination and in chorus we said ‘aaawwww’ of exitement and talked about all the beautiful thing we could make with these colours, very inspired by Kaffe Fassett ♥
Then we put them back. And then we chose 20 skeins in another colour combination and then we repeated, again ….. often.
When, in the summer of 2018, I entered the John Arbon Textiles store in Lynton, North Devon, I felt the same way.
I stayed at the store for a long time. Made color combinations, over and over.
Selected beautiful colors
And as soon as I had left the store I was gripped by panic; had I chosen the right colors!
Hurray for the internet, I could happily order more of the beautiful yarn.
It turned into Exmoor Jumper in three variations.

If you knit an Exmoor jumper I would love to see a photo of the result ♥
