So, are we marling comfortably yet? In case you missed it, Modern Daily Knitting’s most recent Field Guide is All About The Marls, and oh, is it a lot of fun! And oh-so-doable, especially once you’ve cracked managing your yarns.
So here’s the situation. You’ve done your micro swatches. You’ve picked your two colours and cast on, and you’re merrily marling along. And then the pattern tells you it’s time to change yarns. Today, I’m going to show you how that’s done. It’s ever-so-simple once you do it, but I know juggling multiple yarn strands can feel awkward. Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered! (If you’re reading on our email service, you can get straight to the YouTube tutorial here). I’ve also included some bonus tips giving you some different options for handling the inevitable ends. Enjoy!
If you’ve been on the fence about trying our marls, I hope that video has given you a little confidence boost — managing the yarns couldn’t be easier, and the results are so fun and fabulous.
And if you’re looking for an engaging but not-too-taxing project for over the holidays, well, we think the patterns from Marls are just the ticket. The Field Guide contains five patterns from the supremely talented Ceceila Campochiaro, and you’ll find yarn pairing suggestions over on the product page. Get your marl on!
