Marling is a technique for creating different colors and textures in a pattern by holding strands of yarn together as you knit or crochet them. The Katrinkles Marling Yarn Weights Mini Tool helps you combine yarns of differing weight into the correct gauge for your project by showing you how different yarn weights combine. For example, you can hold two to four strands of lace and fingering weight yarn together when knitting to get the right gauge for a DK or Worsted weight sweater. I’m really into using up scraps and mixing colors for this. I designed this tool to empower you to pull together a pile of yarn, either by working what you have together, or shopping and combining a pile of lovely skeins. How to use: This marling chart helps you determine the weight of two or three yarns held together. At the top the legend reads, “Two strands of X = One strand of X”: this applies to all of the yarns listed underneath, unless a specific number indicates otherwise. For example, two strands of fingering equals one strand of sport; while one strand of fingering plus one strand of sport equals one strand of DK. This tool is the perfect companion for our Marling Helper Tool with Hook. Together, you can achieve any number of creative marled effects with ease! These lightweight 2.5" square Mix and Match Mini Tools are the perfect item to add your branding to the backside. Each Mini Tool comes on its own chain. Whether you’re knitting, crocheting, sewing, stitching, making socks or mittens, or spinning yarn, there’s a tool to help with almost any project. Mini tools make perfect gifts and are a great way to try out new techniques. You can view all our Katrinkles Mini Tool options here.
