Issue 166 is on sale now, and it’s filled with lightweight projects and soft layers for your summer wardrobe and for the autumn days ahead. Designs include a modern Fair Isle top from Mary Henderson, a long cardigan with mosaic-patterned panels by Sandra Nesbitt, and an elegant vest top with delicate cable details by Emma Vining. Fiona Alice brings us a relaxed, contemporary sweater with pleated details, while Sarah Hatton’s feminine mohair jumper has a clever reversible shape – the deep V at the neck can be worn at the front or the back. Smaller projects include a long lacy scarf, a pair of pretty textured socks, and a sideways-knit cable tank top.
Also in this issue, we explore the beautiful hand-dyed ranges of Third Vault Yarns, and
take a peek inside the V&A’s knitwear archive. We test six laceweight yarns for your shawls and summer cardigans, and our masterclass explores the Russian join technique. Plus, our special supplement features a classic crewneck sweater by Dario Tubiana which is embroidered with a spectacular toucan design.
