Marla and Sami Collection

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. Sami, the semi-solid DK-weight sister to Marla, has a palette of 11 coordinating colors!

•

A straightforward top-down seamless raglan to let a perfect pairing of Marla and Sami shine. Choose two closely-related colors, or try a combination with more contrast!
