Our winter issue, Laine 31, Lingering, invites you to enjoy a staycation in a charming small town. Wander with us through the quiet, snowy streets of Porvoo, one of Finland’s oldest cities — wrapped up in cosy woollen garments and accessories, of course! The issue offers an abundance of styles and techniques: captivating textured stitches, vintage-inspired lace, simple stockinette stitch, different kinds of colourwork, and the perfect all-over cabled sweater for all you cable lovers out there!
