The Springtide socks are best knitted in bright, fun and high-contrast colours perfect for spring and to give you a hit of dopamine. The waves, curves and bold lines are used to create movement and energy. Spring brings warmer and lighter days, fresh starts and new enjoyment of the outdoors, which was the inspiration behind this design.
