Marled Marlow is a cozy, modern hat that showcases the beauty of marl. Knit by holding North Bay Fiber Heritage DK (a tonally hand-dyed, solid wool yarn) together with a lace weight yarn — such as Bella Suri, a speckled Suri alpaca/silk blend — this design creates a soft, woolly fabric with a delicate halo and rich marled depth. Featuring a generous ribbed brim, smooth stockinette body, and neat 4-point crown decrease, Marled Marlow is simple, customizable, and endlessly fun to knit.
