Here are some details about the vest I finished last week. I added a photo of it on my Friday Fave Fives, and various people commented about it, so I thought I'd added extra information.
The pattern is Simply Garter Vest from the pattern book Folk Vests by Cheryl Oberle. I have used this book to knit several vests and highly recommend it. This is the second Simply Garter Vest I have made; last year I knit a purple vest for my younger daughter (Mia).
Last fall, I was given a huge bag of yarns from someone who is organizing her home to get ready to sell it and decided she doesn't want to continue knitting. So I had eight skeins of this lovely yarn.
A mix of 70%wool and 30%mohair from Green Mountain Spinnery. Excellent company with high quality yarns.
I used almost five skeins.
Size 8 US needles
This vest is really cozy warm. I will be wearing it ALL. WINTER.

It looks lovely but I'd need to research a UK pattern book - the link you posted quoted $75 for postage to the UK. Was it being brought by hand lol
Green Mountain Spinnery, is this a USA spinnery? Thank you for sharing more about the vest.
