Why you'll love it

Ten little balls of Marble in every pack – perfect for amigurumi, stripes, granny squares and playing with colour.

Marble is an 8ply cotton-acrylic that looks and feels like wool but stays light and breathable. Coloured acrylic fibres are spun around a pale cotton core, which gives every shade its marled, heathered look. It's smooth to work with, shows off your stitches in knit or crochet, and it's machine washable – just the thing for toys, kids' makes and everyday accessories.

We love these for amigurumi, and they're a great way to test colour combinations before you commit to a bigger project. Each pack is a set of shades from the Marble range:

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

The colours match back to Fiddlesticks Wren, so there are endless ways to mix and match. Collect all three packs for every shade in the Marble range.

Shipping: we have plenty of stock, but not all of it is kept at the shop. Deliveries arrive every couple of days, so your order may take a few extra days to go out – we'll send it as quickly as we can. Picking up in store? Wait for our SMS to say it's ready.

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.

Project Inspiration

Projects featuring Fiddlesticks Marble Mini Balls
Fiddlesticks Posie – 4ply weight cotton yarn

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.
