Why you'll love it

Looking for the perfect yarn for colourwork, small projects or just a splash of something fun?
Fiddlesticks Marble Mini Packs are a great way to explore colour and texture in your knitting or crochet. Each pack includes 10 mini balls of 8ply cotton blend yarn with a soft, woolly feel — ideal for amigurumi, stripes, granny squares and more.

Marble is a cotton-acrylic DK yarn designed to mimic the look and feel of wool while remaining light and breathable. The marled effect is created by coloured acrylic fibres spun around a pale cotton core, giving each shade a beautiful depth and heathered appearance. The yarn is smooth to work with and offers great stitch definition for both knit and crochet. It’s also machine washable, making it a practical choice for kids’ makes, toys and everyday accessories.

Each mini pack gives you a curated set of colours from the full Marble range. There are three colourways to choose from or collect them all for a complete palette. Whether you're working on a blanket, experimenting with colourwork, or stocking up for creative play, these mini packs are a great way to get started.

Marble Mini Packs offer softness, variety and lots of creative potential — all in the palm of your hand.

These packs feature 10 mini balls of Marble allowing you to play with colour, use them for small projects, stripes, granny squares and more. We love them for amigurumi! They're also wonderful to help you play with colour choices when planning larger projects.

Pack 1: neutrals and yellows
Pack 2: reds, oranges, pinks and purples
Pack 3: blues and greens

The colours match back to Fiddlesticks Wren, giving you endless opportunities to mix and match. Collect all 3 packs for every shade in the Marble range.

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.
