What does Marl mean? CEY Tryst is a marled cashmere yarn. Marled yarns are formed by twisting together plies of different colors. The result is a single strand of yarn with multiple colors winding around one another.  Marled yarns can be made from any number of plies—two, three, four, etc. Tryst is composed of six plies, each of a different color.  The color effect in a marled yarn is determined by the kinds of colors used together. Yarns that combine colors that are close together on the color spectrum, say grayed-out blues and purples, will have a subtle, blended look. While others that use colors with strong value (light/dark) and color contrast have a vibrant, jazzy appearance.
