Are you mad about marling!? I sure am! In fact, after making this piece, I wanted to marl ALL THE THINGS!

This design combines simple color fades for subtle colorwork with the more striking look of marling done with two contrasting colors AND has some mad texture from the post stitches used to create the basketweave stitch. Time to play with color, y’all!
