• Creativity is said to thrive in the shadows, to bloom in the darkness we long to escape. But perhaps it is nurtured in quiet moments between friends, in spaces where silence is not a void but a presence filled with possibility.

  In Cultivate, Dee Hardwicke and Jonna Helin cometogether to celebrate the beauty of everyday simplicitythrough the art of knitting.

  Featuring 20 timelesspatterns, this collection blends Dees botanical scarves
  rich with nature-inspired motifs and Jonnaseffortless, elegant garments designed to last.In their first collaboration, Dee and Jonna invite you tocultivate inspiration from the world around you, creatingknitwear that is both simple and profoundly beautiful.

  years, Dee loves turning her sketches into timelesspieces of wearable art that celebrate the union ofcreativity, craft and practicality.

  Jonna Helinis the creative soul behind Laine Publishing, with 25years of experience in the publishing industry. Raised ina family of crafters, she grew up listening to the rhythmicclicking of knitting needles, the soundtrack of her life.
  For Jonna, knitting is a sanctuary, offering peace andcalm from the demands of daily life and soothing herbusy mind.She feels most at home in her cabin nestled in a remote Finnish forest, where the stars shine brightly against thedark winter sky, bringing light to the coldest nights. Yet she also loves getting lost in the bustling streets ofLondon, Paris, New York and Tokyo. These contrasts
  blend harmoniously in her designs, which embody boththe natural beauty of the wilder ness and the vibrance ofurban life.

  A firm believer in the power of honesty and simplicity, Jonna creates knits that endure through time and style pieces that are as easy to knit as they are to wear.
