Laine Magazine Issue 20
- Description
Laine 20, Waterways, invites you to spend a day by the sea with us — you can almost smell the salty air and feel the soft breeze in your hair! This issue includes ten beautiful and unique knits perfect for the season: the kind that will keep you warm on the first spring days when you can’t get enough of the outdoors but still need that extra layer to keep you warm.
Laine Magazine has chosen the Biches & Bûches yarn for one of these gorgeous designs, the Pladda sweater that you can discover on the first two photos.
It is a top-down, raglan sweater with an all-over colourwork design. This was
inspired by the idea of a cosy weekend in a cabin when the mornings and evenings are
still chilly, and you want to be wrapped up in your favourite cosy blanket. The easy
shape makes it versatile to wear whilst the graphic colourwork adds a cool and modern
touch.
