Do you have lots of bits of this and that in your fiber stash? Why not create marled yarn!

I found a few articles and a video to help you get started.

Here’s an article on marling yarns that I found by Jillian Moreno posted on the Knitty Blog, March 15, 2011.

From December 2019, spinoffmagazine.com posted an article on Drumcarder & Diz: Creating a Marled Roving, written by Emily Wolscheid.

For those who love alpacas & llama, I found a Creating Marled Yarn pdf from The Rocky Mountain Llama and Alpaca Association, published Winter 2018.

There aren’t many videos on YouTube, but I did find this one:

There is always carding and combing to blend those bits of fiber together. No matter how you spin, use it up!

Happy spinning…

Hi, I’m Sherrill, The 1764 Shepherdess.
I’m a maker based in the Pacific Northwest. With a love of wool, I have hosted spinning and fiber events and now find myself writing to encourage makers to slow down, work with intention, and reconnect with the history of crafting by hand. I look forward to having you join me on this journey!
