Sifting Tides is a large rectangle wrap that mixes colors and textures together to give visual movement throughout the knitted fabric. As an exercise in organic pooling, the colors shift and pool in the variegated skein layered under the fluffy Zephyr tonal colorway for maximum interest in both texture and color.
