PREORDER - Moomin Inspired: The Art of the Sea: 23

For eighty years, the Moomins have enchanted readers with their honesty, mischief and warmth. Their creator, Tove Jansson, is one of the most beloved figures in Nordic literature and art. With this special Laine publication, we invite knitters to step into the world of the Moomins — through the language of stitches. 

We believe this collection will resonate with knitters all over the world, offering both joy and inspiration — much like the magical world of Moominvalley itself. 

The Art of the Sea 
The Moomins have been part of our imaginations for eighty years — mischievous, tender, endlessly curious. Their creator, Tove Jansson, gave us not only unforgettable characters but also a philosophy of life: the courage to be yourself, the joy of companionship, and the quiet beauty of nature’s rhythms. 

This book celebrates that legacy through the art of knitting. With 23 patterns by 18 international designers, it translates the atmosphere of Moominvalley into stitches: garments and accessories that carry the warmth of Moominmamma’s embrace, the wit of Little My, the independence of Snufkin, and the salt-tinged breath of the northern sea. 

The idea was born from childhood encounters with Jansson’s stories and the magic of discovering her world through art. Bringing it to life has been one of our most heartfelt projects at Laine, a tribute to both the Moomins’ enduring relevance and Jansson’s timeless creativity. 

272 pages, 23 patterns: 15 sweaters, 1 cardigan, 3 vests/slipovers, 1 poncho, 2 scarves, 1 pair of socks, Hardcover
