Laine Magazine

Laine is a high-quality Nordic knit & lifestyle magazine and publishing house based in Finland. We cherish natural fibres, slow living, local craftsmanship and beautiful, simple things in life. Our intention is to inspire you to gather and share, to be part of a community of like-minded knitters, makers and thinkers from near and far. Knitting is more than just knit, knit, purl. It is a feeling.

Laine magazine includes patterns from the leading knitwear designers, insightful, long-format stories from the world of wool, interviews, exciting travel articles, seasonal recipes and strong, visual storytelling. Since 2020, Laine also publishes books.

The latest issue:
Laine 30, Layers, features a beautiful collection of knits to wrap yourself in as the weather starts to cool. Its 15 patterns explore lovely textures, delicate lace, plump cables, as well as stunning colourwork. The photos were taken in a rustic, historical mill setting, where layers of past decades were beautifully present — evoking a sense of nostalgia and longing. The crisp sunlight added a luminous finishing touch to the photos.

Designers featured in this issue: Maria Bach Jensen, Amy Baldwin, Aneta Bleyer, Meghan Haughton, Heli Hottinen-Puukko, Anniina Juuti, Sara Ottosson, Veta Romanenkova, Inese Sang, Megumi Shinagawa, Anna Syrjänen, Natascha Tulloch, Yiğitcan Vatansever and Karin & Stina Weststrand.

We also meet the Australian farmer Tom Dennis, whose family developed the Polwarth sheep six generations ago, visit the Yarn over Berlin yarn store, and get style inspiration from Ling Wang (@merci.coucou). Our Five Ways article provides inspiring tips that will help when you find yourself in a knitting slump!
