Laine Magazine 24 "Brushstrokes" Spring Issue

"The 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."

We are thrilled to discover a Pattern by Cheryl Mokhtari with Biches & Bûches Le Petit Organic Cotton + Le Petit Silk & Mohair, for her gorgeous design called Amber, part of this Issue 🌺

"Cheryl Mokhtari’s Amber cardigan was inspired by her love of simplicity and clean lines of texture, which she wanted to combine into a flattering and feminine garment. Amber is a short-sleeved, V-neck cardigan with a classic raglan construction — enjoyable to knit, with just the right balance of meditative stockinette interwoven with other elements. The cardigan is worked from the top down with two yarns held together throughout."
