heathered
Soft, mixed-fiber look
Heathered describes fabric with a soft, mottled appearance created by blending yarns of different colors—typically a main color flecked with white or gray fibers.
The effect resembles the varied colors of heather plants on Scottish moors.
Common in casual knitwear and t-shirts: a heathered gray sweatshirt, heathered navy blue.
