Greetings and welcome to fredholmknitting.com the site for AUTHENTIC SWEDISH KNITTING. All creations on this site has been designed and clearly patterned by me, Inger Fredholm.

I am a Swedish handknitting designer and the proprietor of Gunga Din in Stockholm, a knitting boutique in which I have designed, knitted and patterned over 700 creations, written books on knitting and conducted workshops since 1968. My creations have been published in Elle and Swedish monthly magazines Femina, VI and others.

I participated in the KNIT-OUT2002 at Union Square Park in NYC this past October where I demonstrated the Swedish two-handed multicolor knitting technique typical for Fredholm Knitting (this technique is different from Fair Isle).  It will be a pleasure to pass this technique on to you, dear readers. Thanks to IT technology, we can now invite you to join this Swedish adventure.

  Our Own Brand
fredholmkntting.com has its own brand of yarn , Gunga Din, including two cotton yarns and four different yarns of wool - all in natural fibres. Real Raggsock Reversible (Easy )
   First, however, I will publish and introduce an old classic wool quality, GUNGA DIN RAGGSOCK WOOL. Originally only used for socks, I did a vest on thick needles, published in a Swedish magazine during the 1960ties. It
became a success, and since then I have designed several items in this quality. Here is a classical sweater for  men and women, for  country and city life.  There are  seams only on each sides.  Sew them almost invisibly and you have a reversible sweater!  It is a 4-ply yarn, available in four shades.  75 % wool, 25% rayon. (Rayon is a regenerated fibre).
