Rising Tide Scarf
With its soft, flowing surface and the gorgeous shifting color of our Nine-Note Bundle, our Rising Tide Scarf lifts all spirits!

We have three gorgeous new Nine-Note colors for spring, including this cheery Dragon Fruit, plus crisp Apple and warm Penny. Now a grand total of twelve palettes, each bundle’s current of color rolls from very light to very saturated, and for this simple slip-stitch design, we’ve also used our spectacularly beautiful Season Alpaca in Heirloom White, a solid ground to highlight the gradient beauty of the bundle.

The design combines these yarns into what looks like stranded colorwork, but really, you just use one color per row, creating tidy stripes that are striking at one end and subtle at the other… Plain sailing all the way!

The Season Alpaca part of the Rising Tide Scarf is a very special 100% super baby alpaca. Its plied structure keeps the stitches smooth and even, and its pleasant heft lends just the right drape for a scarf.

The Nine-Note Bundle brings drama and is a beautiful combination of 80% extra fine merino and 20% baby alpaca. Wonderfully plump with a satisfying and supple feel, this yarn is always gratifying to knit and stunning when complete.

Both yarns are exquisitely soft and together make for twice the beauty in this striking, easy knit. So, pick your bundle, pick your contrast, and cast on!
