Davie’s alternating cables are representative of the Vancouver shoreline and the various ebbs and flows that make up our day to day lives. Sized to fit a woman’s head and worked with Cascade 220, it’s a quick knit that will keep you warm during walks along the seawall and windy trips to the dog beach.
