Bernd Kestler Marls Knitting

A book on the marling technique, which involves knitting with multiple strands of yarn held together. Since it doesn’t require advanced skills, knitters of all levels, from beginners to those looking to challenge themselves with new projects, can enjoy this technique.

Using two, three, or four strands of yarn, you can create your own unique colors. This knitting technique allows you to enjoy the interplay of colors, whether by creating gradients or combining completely different hues. Since simpler stitch patterns are more effective, many of the projects are relatively easy to knit. It’s also a great way to use up leftover yarn, resulting in projects that are more colorful, chic, and far more striking than you might expect.
