Laine Magazine Issue 23 Borealis

The winter issue, Laine 23, Borealis, takes you to the snowy countryside on one of the coldest days of the year. The warm, cosy and beautiful knits include many winter wardrobe staples, such as an all-over colourwork sweater, a cabled hat and a chunky, textured cardigan. The serene stillness captured in this edition’s photography soothes your mind and senses.
