SPRING TIDES was born out of a collaboration with Nanacindy NZ, an amazing indie dyer here in New Zealand. It features a twisted wave panel which can be worn centrally or to the side. This pattern works in ANY yarn. Solid, gradient, semi solids and variegated. It’s written in 3 sizes for both 4ply and dk(8ply) yarns. Both options are included in the one pattern.
