A glimpse into the newest issue of Laine Magazine : Issue 12
We always look forward to the publication of a new issue of Laine Magazine. It’s always so full of inspiration in the form of patterns, interviews, articles and of course gorgeous photography. We’ve talked about our excitement for the interview with mYak co-founder Paola Vanzoa and patterns using mYak Tibetan Cloud and worsted weight Woolstok previous blog, but there’s still so much more to explore. Today we’re delving into a few of the lovely patterns in this autumn’s issue.
