Laine Magazine Issue 25 - Summer

Our beautiful summer issue, Laine 25, Stillness, takes you to an old summer cabin by the lakeside — nestled in the woods, surrounded by birch and pine trees, fresh waters and blue skies.

The photos capture the quiet beauty and serenity of Finnish summer. This issue includes twelve light and relaxed summer garments and accessories, perfect for the warmer months.

The knits are worked in a variety of yarns suited for summer, and they feature many interesting techniques and textures.
