Fiddlesticks Grange 10

Why you'll love it

Fiddlesticks Grange 10 is a beautifully cosy 10ply/worsted weight yarn that combines wool and alpaca for warmth, softness and texture. It’s ideal for scarves, shawls, jumpers and blankets that you’ll reach for all season long.

The blend of fibres gives Grange 10 a lovely handfeel with just the right amount of drape and body. It knits and crochets smoothly into garments that feel light but warm, with good stitch definition and a subtle halo.

The alpaca adds a gentle heathered effect to the colours, especially in the deeper shades, creating depth and interest without overpowering your stitchwork. The acrylic helps to hold its shape as alpaca has a tendency to stretch and drop.

Grange 10 comes in a thoughtfully curated range of rich, natural-inspired colours that work well for everyday wear or bold winter layering. Its worsted weight makes it a versatile go-to for accessories and garments alike, and it’s soft enough for children’s knits too.

Soft, practical and full of character. Grange 10 brings warmth and charm to every project.

Yarn Weight vs Yarn Ply

"Ply" technically refers to the construction of the yarn. It's the number of strands that are twisted together to make a single piece of yarn. While "ply" historically related to the thickness (or weight) of the yarn, today's spinning technology means that the number of plies doesn't always correspond directly to the thickness of the yarn.

However, in some countries, including Australia & the UK, the numbering system of yarn ply still refers to the thickness of the yarn, so it's possible to have a single ply 4ply yarn! - this means that the yarn is constructed of a single ply, but has the traditional thickness of a 4ply sock / fingering yarn).

For more information, please refer to our Hook, Needle & Yarn Guide and our blog A Quick Guide to Yarn Weights.

About

Fiddlesticks

Fiddlesticks is owned by Texyarns, a Melbourne wholesaler that's been supplying yarn across Australia and New Zealand since 1952. For years they sat on the other side of the counter, working as an agent for the European spinners – the ones whose yarn ended up in the jumpers on the shelf.

Then hand knitting took off, and they decided to make their own. The name came about with rather less planning. Co-founder Peter Betros told Crochet Australia, "I don't know if it was inspiration, but I do know there was a lot of 'what do you think of this name…' And finally it was Fiddlesticks!"

We love that. It tells you exactly where the range comes from – not a grand plan, but seven decades of watching what knitters and crocheters actually reach for. Quality yarns in merino, cotton, alpaca and more.
