This is three-part virtual class on using marls as a kind of colorwork, where each virtual class is approximately 1.5 hours. The first session is a presentation, and the subsequent sessions will be a mix of presentation and experiential learning where students will play with different colors of yarns to make marls and marl sequences and will customize their own marl-based cowl or scarf.

Project and Materials

It's going to be fun to learn about making marls using Cecelia's microswatching process by working through the exercise in class. The microswatching exercise requires 6 colors of the same type of yarn suitable for being worked doubled (10 yards each). However, knitting your own microswatches is not required. Participate in whatever way works best for you.

The Ella Improv pattern by Cecelia Campochiaro is included in class registration. To complete the Ella Improv Cowl, you will need 6 colors of a heavy lace or light fingering weight yarn (75 yards of each). Of course, you can use yarn from your stash, but a list of yarn recommendations will also be available well before the class. We will host a thread on our Ravelry page to help folks share, trade, buy, and sell partial skeins to help keep material costs down.

What Are Marls and Sequence Knitting?

What is a marl?
Marl can refer to a yarn made from different strands, usually strands of the same weight but in different colors. It is also can refer to fabric made from marl yarn. In handknitting, the knitter can create their own marls just by holding multiple strands together while knitting.

What is sequence knitting?
Sequence knitting is the creating of knit fabric through the repetition of a sequence of stitches over and over by some rule. Many sequence knitting fabrics are very familiar, like ribbing, but most are more complicated and can be very interesting all‑over textures.
