It’s nearly time for the new issue of Laine! We always anticipate these releases with bated breath, and we’re especially excited for this issue as we’re seriously in the mood to plan our autumn knits.

What’s the wildest thing you’ve ever stitched with? Maybe you’ve explored different fibres, played with old and new materials, or picked some wacky colours, but we’ll be you’ve never pushed the limits as far as Katerina Knight!

We are utterly delighted to welcome Laine’s 10th anniversary issue and congratulate them on this incredible milestone. We know all about the big and little things it takes to make it this far, and we are totally in awe of the incredible women who have made this powerhouse publisher what it is today!

One of our favourite things about life in this sweet little shop is that it’s impossible not to be inspired. Everywhere you look there’s something to spark a whole new project. This week our imaginations are running wild with arrivals from Teinture Sauvage, Aitor Saraiba, Monahan Papers, and more!

Buaisou Indigo

Indigo has been woven into the culture of Japan for centuries, colouring the garments of Imperial Court members and common people for centuries. The rich tradition of indigo dyeing lives on in Japan, and the collective behind Buaisou are the best of the best.

Do you remember your very first skein of yarn? Your first knitting needles or crochet hook? How it felt to pick your very first crafting materials, and the journey that unraveled from that single choice? The warmth of that memory stays with many of us through decades of crafting. The single skein that sparked it all.

We love every kind of stitching. If it uses a hook or a needle, it’s for us. But every once in a while, one type of stitching just totally captures our imagination, and right now it’s crochet!
