Fiddlesticks Marble

Why you'll love it

Fiddlesticks Marble is an 8ply/DK yarn with a marled finish and gentle feel, perfect for those who love the look of Scheepjes Stone Washed. It’s great for all sorts of crochet and knitting projects.

Marble is made with a cotton base that’s wrapped in soft, coloured acrylic fibres, giving it a slightly woolly texture without any of the itch. The marled effect adds depth to your stitches and works well in everything from garments and blankets to accessories. It’s soft to use, has good structure, and gives a balanced finish with nice stitch definition.

Available in 30 colourways, the shades pair beautifully with Fiddlesticks Wren for colourwork, stripes or trim details. Whether you're making something for a little one or a light layer for yourself, the colours and texture of Marble make it a joy to work with.

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).

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.
