Laine Nordic Knits & Nordic Knits 2

Laine's latest special magazine is the highly anticipated follow-up to Nordic Knits--now available for preorder!

Laine Nordic Knits 2 features 15 patterns that are practical, thoughtful, timeless and well-suited to 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, like Sandnes Garn and Knitting for Olive, which we also carry. 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.

Designers featured in this issue: Fiona Alice, Helga Isager, Anna Johanna, Védís Jónsdóttir / Ístex, Meiju Kallio, Henna Ketonen, Knitting for Olive, Pauliina Leisti, Sari Nordlund, Sara Ottosson, Saara Toikka / Novita.

We also meet the Norwegian knitwear designer Ane Fiskum Sunde, known as Novemberknits, who divides her time between knitting and her musical career, and visit Gotlands Spinneri, a small spinning mill run by two dedicated women on the Swedish island of Gotland. 

The knits were created by the following designers and yarn brands: Jenny Ansah, Kristin Drysdale, Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk, Ronja Hakalehto, Tiina Huhtaniemi, Caitlin Hunter, Marianne Isager, Åse Lund Jensen, Susanna Kaartinen, Eli Leistad (aka Skeindeer), Lotta H. Löthgren, Tiia Reho, Sandnes Garn and Anna Sjösvärd.
