Cultivate: Knitting the Beauty of Nature
In Cultivate, Dee Hardwicke and Jonna Helin come together to celebrate the beauty of everyday simplicity through the art of knitting.
This collection features 20 timeless patterns, blends Dee’s botanical scarves — rich with nature-inspired motifs — and Jonna’s effortless, elegant garments designed to last.
In their first collaboration, Dee and Jonna invite you to cultivate inspiration from the world around you, creating knitwear that is both simple and profoundly beautiful.
Jonna Helin is the creative soul behind Laine Publishing, with 25 years of experience in the publishing industry. For Jonna, knitting is a sanctuary, offering peace and calm from the demands of daily life and soothing her busy mind.
She feels most at home in her cabin nestled in a remote Finnish forest, where the stars shine brightly against the dark winter sky, bringing light to the coldest nights. Yet she also loves getting lost in the bustling streets of London, Paris, New York and Tokyo.
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.
Dee Hardwicke is a British artist, designer and knitter whose work is deeply inspired by Britain’s ever-changing landscapes and cottage gardens. Her sketchbooks serve as a visual diary of her life, capturing the enchanting details of nature.
Dee’s creativity spans multiple mediums, from knitting to collaborations with esteemed partners like the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and the National Trust, where her artistic vision is brought to life through beautiful flooring, tableware and stationery.
