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:
Our winter issue, Laine 31, Lingering, invites you to enjoy a staycation in a charming small town. Wander with us through the quiet, snowy streets of Porvoo, one of Finland’s oldest cities, wrapped up in cosy woollen garments and accessories, of course! The issue offers an abundance of styles and techniques: captivating textured stitches, vintage-inspired lace, simple stockinette stitch, different kinds of colourwork and the perfect all-over cabled sweater for all you cable lovers out there!

Designers featured in this issue: Eun Mi Ahn, Fiona Alice, Alice Caetano, Joanna Filip, Sarah Hatton, Kirsten Joel, Kaori Katsurada, Henna Ketonen, Thien-Kieu Lam, Rebekka Mauser, Heli Rajavaara, Lisa Richardson, Lili Tobias, Lív Ulven and Julia Wilkens.
