Marla
$40.00
Description
Marla is made from 2 strands of lighter-weight yarn that have been dyed separately and then plied together. When worked, Marla creates a marled fabric, where the colors are uniquely distributed.
The resulting marled yarn can be high-contrast tweedy (like Twilight), or more subtly tonal, or even have some of each in the same colorway (like Marino).
The Marla palette is connected directly to the Sami palette - they coordinate with each other to make gorgeous color pairings!
