Laine Autumn issue, Aalto, features cozy yet stylish knits for the season!
The issue is also a celebration of architecture — the photos were taken in the Paimio Sanatorium, designed by the famous Finnish architect Alvar Aalto.
The building’s unique colours and shapes offered the perfect backdrop to our autumn knits, which are full of interesting styles and techniques from cables and lace to textured patterns.
