All patterns in Laine Nordic Knits use yarns made by Nordic manufacturers — both the big brands and the small hand-dyeing studios. For us, both have their special place in the knitting world!

For example, the Tinde Sweater, created by Sandnes Garn (@sandnesgarn), the largest producer of hand-knitting yarn in Northern Europe, is worked in one of their most popular brands, Fritids-garn. It is a thick, 100% Norwegian wool yarn. On the other hand, the Puro cardigan by Jenny Ansah is knitted in Laurentino by Laurelknits (@laurelknits), a small Finnish hand-dyeing studio.

Laine Nordic Knits is out on October 8. The wait is over soon!

are bunny hopping on to your timeline to celebrate the publication day of Tomomi Mimura's Tiny Friends! 🐰

Tiny Friends: A Guide to Mosaic Embroidery is a book on making colourful toys using mosaic embroidery, a technique developed by the Japanese artist Tomomi Mimura (@mimstermade). In this book, she introduces the reader to 13 animal characters. Through detailed photography, illustrations and step-by-step instructions, Tomomi shows how to stitch and assemble whimsical stuffed toys and finger puppets that bring joy and inspiration to anyone around them.

Mosaic embroidery is a technique based on simple darning stitches. All you need to get started are an embroidery hoop, some fabric, yarn, a needle and a pair of scissors! It is perfect for using even the tiniest bits of leftover yarn.

Meet all the cute characters on our website and get your copy now — a digital download is also available!
