Making Marls is absolutely gorgeous, printed in Germany by one of the great art book publishers. It is a book to savor, to spend time with, and to treasure.

We had the great good luck to work with Cecelia Campochiaro on MDK Field Guide No. 5: Sequences, which draws from her masterful book Sequence Knitting. We have made many projects using her elegantly simple idea, so the news that she was at work on a new book was thrilling to us.

With Making Marls, Cecelia brings us a book that sends us down a brand-new rabbit hole of fun and freedom. Making Marls is 301 pages of color, ideas, and designs that let us play with color and texture in endless combinations.

If you have a batch of yarns on hand, you’re set to go. There’s no telling what you’ll discover as you start knitting with multiple strands of yarn.

About the designer

Cecelia Campochiaro grew up in a family of artists and has been knitting since she was 12. Her professional work was to develop finely calibrated machines that inspect computer chips, which requires precision on par with counting a gauge swatch. She left high tech in 2018 to focus on knitting.

She is the author of the groundbreaking book, Sequence Knitting: Simple Methods for Creating Complex Reversible Fabrics. Her second book is Making Marls: A Sourcebook for Multistranded Handknitting, an exquisite exploration of knitting with multiple strands of yarn.
