I've never understood the use of abbreviations on message forums - it's not like there's a shortage of space like with text messaging

I'm not sure if there's an actual word for it . . . maybe call it interwoven various shades of grey or whatever the colors were?

OT: the outfit was cute and I really liked the dress--very pretty pattern and color

Not sure..I checked the danish word for it in a danish-english dictionary and came up w. : mottled; mixed
..native speakers would you use "mottled" to describe "a mix of coulours mostly in knitwear....something like salt and pepper but it's not" ??

no...not mottled...

heathered is close and most commonly used...most people would probably use this....
i think 'flecked' would be what i would say...

ie-having flecks of colour... or a grey and blue flecked swtr...etc...


this is 'mottled'...is more like a water colour 'wash'...similar to a tie dye look....with uneven random areas of light and dark...

this is heathered...grey knits are usually 'heathered'...ie-a grey sweatshirt..
it means there are darker and lighter shades woven in so it's all one colour, but with some depth...

usually found in wool sweaters or pants or jackets......
