Spring 2024 Deborah Newton: Marla and Sami Capsule Collection

It’s texture all the way in these springtime pieces by Deborah Newton featuring Marla, Sami, or both together! Interesting stitches give the fabrics depth and dimension, while on-trend shapes are perfect for layering.

Marla’s colors ebb and flow over the rib structure here the way the wavelets flow over the rocks in the bed of the Tacony Creek. Simple shaping keeps the emphasis on the subtle shadings of the yarn.
