Hi Strands fans. This one isn't too tricky if, like me, you've recently had to throw on very thick clothes every time you get out of bed, let alone think about leaving the house (it's pretty chilly here in London!).
I was helped by spotting SCARF, spelt downwards from the top of the grid, right away. I was then able to get PARKA to its right, which cleared a space for the spangram of WINTERCLOTHES.
MITTENS was to SCARF's left, and that isolated JACKET in the bottom left-hand corner.
Two answers were left to find, intertwined on the right-hand side. I found GLOVES first, and that just left me connecting BEANIE to complete the puzzle.
