The spring 2026 issue of Laine, Open Water, will take you on a boat trip to the sunny Baltic Sea: to sun-warmed cliffs, rocky beaches and balmy pine forests. This popular knitting magazine from Laine features 15 spring knitting projects from designers all over the world. You’ll find T-shirts and tops worked in summery yarns, as well as sweaters and cardigans that double as outerwear in the warmer months.
Also within the pages are several knitting-related articles, including a feature on Finnish knitwear designer Ronja Hakalehto, who balances a busy family life in a small village near the Arctic Circle while drawing inspiration from wild nature and solitude. You’ll also visit the beloved Stephen & Penelope yarn shop in Amsterdam and find style inspiration with Aleksandra Solowianiuk.
As usual, Laine 28 includes their Favourites section, which is filled with inspiring short stories, tips, crafty products, reviews and creative ideas. Plus, in their Five Ways feature, you’ll discover the favourite tools and notions for knitters, shared by four experts.
Laine Issue 28 features the following knitting designers: Eun Mi Ahn, Fiona Alice, Autumn Buggs, Nicola Furey, Maria Gomes, Olivia Glennon, Anna Hechtman, Meiju Kallio, Pauliina Leisti, Lisa Meissner, Klara Nilsson, Sara Ottosson, Sanni Pauliina, Marie Régnier and Cata Rubke.
