TAUKO Magazine No. 5 is all about soft and comfy wool - a topic so close to our hearts here at Newtown House. The issue features essays of local wool production in Europe and portraits of textile artists working with indigenous sheep in Denmark and the US. Making use of soft jerseys, wool, padded cotton and linen the sweaters, coats, trousers and dresses in the magazine come with many variations for differently skilled sewists. All patterns come in 9 sizes from bust width 31” / 78cm to 57.5” / 146cm.
