Our lovely spring issue, Laine 24, Brushstrokes, is here — full of creative energy and soft, joyous spring colours! The photos were taken in an artist’s studio, in all its vibrant, inspiring chaos, and a lush, green park with old deciduous trees and quiet pathways. The knits are delicate, feminine and refined, featuring beautiful textures and interesting techniques.
