marled
Variegated in texture
Marled describes yarn or fabric made from threads of different colors twisted together, creating a heathered or mottled appearance: a marled gray sweater, marled wool socks.
The effect produces subtle color variation rather than a solid hue.
Common in knitwear and casual clothing.
