Marla is spun from two separately hand-dyed plies that are twisted together, creating a depth and complexity of colour that solid or single-ply yarns can't replicate: as you knit, the two plies interact to produce shifting tones and subtle variation that gives finished fabric real visual interest. The base is 100% superwash merino, so it's as soft as it looks, and machine washable. A good choice when you want colour that does something interesting without committing to a heavily variegated yarn.
bold, dramatic, and happiest in the spotlight
Marla is a yarn that we would categorize as a diva. Some yarns are happy to support the pattern. This one prefers to be the star. Diva yarns bring luxurious fibres, bold colours, and textures that practically demand attention: perfect when you want your project to make an entrance.
Divas shine brightest when they’re given room to perform. Simple stitches and minimal colourwork let their character take the spotlight. They can handle more complicated patterns but rarely need them. Swatch carefully and follow laundering instructions to keep your star in top form.
