“THIS GARMENT combines bands of lace worked in a laceweight mohair silk, with floral Fair Isle motifs around

the yoke holding the yarn doubled,” explains Mary Henderson. “This gives substance and stability for the lace to ‘float’.TheRicosuperkidmohair-silk blend comes in a wondrous range of colours, so there could be some luminous two-colour combinations.”
