I don't think I ever knew about this yarn, which was called the Caron Simply Soft Marled yarn. It was essentially Caron Simply Soft with two contrasting colours twisted together. Below is a sample of a hat to give you an idea of how it turned out.
The Caron Simply Soft yarn that you know and love in a marled format! Different colours are plied together to create a marled effect that adds depth and contour to your projects. Marled yarns create a speckled, flecked fabric by bringing different colours together right in the twist. Work with it on its own or combine it with solid colours to create fades, ombres and endless colour combinations.
You can see how to make your marled yarn.
