Fiddlesticks Peppin 14

Why you'll love it

Peppin 14 is a bulky weight Australian merino wool yarn that’s smooth, bouncy and ideal for beginners and experienced makers alike. It’s perfect for warm winter garments, chunky accessories or homewares like throws and cushions.

Made from 100% superwash wool, Peppin 14 feels soft with a lovely twist that helps your stitches stay neat and defined. It’s easy to manage on the needles or hook, making it a great choice for those learning to knit or crochet. If you're learning to knit, this is often the yarn we recommend starting with.

Projects work up quickly thanks to the bulky gauge, and the large 100g balls mean fewer joins and less weaving in ends.

Peppin 14 comes in a wide range of classic and modern colours that look beautiful on their own or combined for stripes and colourwork. The yarn is machine washable, making it a practical option for everyday use or thoughtful gifts.

Fast, soft and simple to use, Peppin 14 is a great pick when you want comfort and ease from your yarn.

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).

Customer Reviews

Soft and goreous

WOW. How good is this yarn? SoOOooo soft, amazing quality, easy to work with and all natural products. Really nice colours and the light pink and blush colour are gorgeous together. I love buying natural products so unfortunately trying to make a jumper is going to be pricey but will be worth it all the same! I could give it 4 stars for the price but the fact that it's all natural is the reason for the price so.. 5 stars it is!

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.
