Laine Nordic Knits
Issue Two (October, 2026):
Laine Nordic Knits 2 features 15 patterns that are practical, thoughtful, timeless and well-suited to our colder climates — yet never compromising on beauty. The patterns all come from Nordic yarn brands or designers based in the Nordic countries, and they are worked using Nordic yarns. Their understated Nordic aesthetics are also reflected in the magazine itself: beautifully photographed and thoughtfully laid out, a publication you will want to keep on your coffee table — but one that you will also get plenty of use from! The photos were taken at the stunning Villa Ervi, designed by the Finnish architect Aarne Ervi.

- 148 pages.
