Description
Peppin 14 – Australian Fine Merino – Very Dark Navy, Superwash is a super soft yarn with amazing stitch definition. This range has been designed here in Melbourne by Fiddlesticks yarn team.
Peppin is available in a wide range of colours (COLOURS HERE). I believe this is perfect for any knitting or crochet 14 ply/Super Chunky/Super Bulky weight project. I tested this yarn with both knitting and crochet samples and it feels lovely to use. Peppin 14 does not spilt and even better it’s machine washable. Peppin 14 – Australian Fine Merino Superwash is destined to be a staple in your stash!
Interestingly the wool is named after the Peppin family who breed the original line of this hardy merino sheep. This Australian Sheep Breed was the backbone of the early Australian wool industry. Also approximately 70% of todays sheep still carry the Peppin bloodline. This is an interesting story and you can find a little more about this HERE.

Crafty Yarn Council is a great website full of useful information including all the standard symbols for crochet and knitting and all the information on what all those symbols on your yarn tags mean, hook and needle conversion charts and more! They also have all the information on Yarn weights including WPI which is very useful if you lost your tag! The other useful website is Yarnsub – great advice on what you can substitute your yarn for in a pattern. Both websites are worth having in your favourites
