LAINE Magazine

Laine is a high-quality Nordic knit & lifestyle magazine for knit folks. They cherish natural fibres, slow living, local craftsmanship and beautiful, simple things in life. Laine's 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's beloved magazine is taking a step into a more modern, dynamic direction by celebrating knitwear and the world of fibre in a fresh way. Together with the new look, they are also excited to introduce new, regular articles, such as Jeanette Sloan Talks Fibre. Of course, there are also things that won’t change: gorgeous knitwear patterns, beautiful high-quality photography and the size of the magazine, all elements that Laine is known for. The new look was created by Kyiv-born Marina Veziko, one of Finland’s leading designers and the Graphic Designer of the Year 2021.

Issue 30 (Autumn 2026)

Laine 30, Layers, features a beautiful collection of knits to wrap yourself in as the weather starts to cool. The collection includes 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 beautiful 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).
