The Color Explosion Throw combines marling and a simple knit-purl pattern in such an irresistible way. You’ll make four strips, swapping out the eleven colors of Rowan Felted Tweed as you go for a never-ending surprise of 55 different marl combinations. The strips come together (using a neat version of the 3-needle bind-off) as a throw that you will treasure always.

This is one of the most spectacular knitting projects we’ve encountered in our decades of knitting.
