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.
Celebrating the artistry of Tove Jansson, The Art of the Sea bridges courage, freedom and belonging with the craft of knitting. Inspired by her spirit, the book offers creations that echo her philosophy and quiet elegance.

We've created our own lot system to make sure that you know all your yarn is coming from the same dyelot when shopping online. Pretty cool, hey?
Be sure to check all the lots to make sure you get enough yarn in the colour you need!

Juuuuust in case you lose the ball band. ;)
