Just Landed – Little Fox Yarns Fennec

Just Landed – Little Fox Yarns Fennec

We are delighted to welcome our second yarn from Little Fox Yarns to space! Little Fox Yarns is our favorite local dyer just outside Richmond, Virginia. Owned and operated by Aimee Richardson Sulser and Brian Sulser, Little Fox Yarn is a luxury hand-dyed yarn company and Aimee and Brian’s pride and joy. Following a long career in interior design, Aimee wanted a new way to spread her creative wings, and in the Fall of 2014, Little Fox was brought to life! All of Little Fox’s yarns are lovingly hand-dyed in small batches to create a rich, glazed tonal color – intended to be livable. We think this is the perfect hand-dye to make treasured hand-mades that you’ll be reaching for in the future.

Little Fox Yarn Fennec

Little Fox Fennec is a beautifully round worsted-weight yarn with softness and bounce. It’s the ultimate sweater yarn. With a diverse palette and lovely stitch definition, Fennec is great for cables, colorwork, and accessories. This non-superwash merino has a soft, sheepy hand that feels divine while working with it. We think it will quickly become one of your hand-dyed go-to yarns for projects!

Yarn details:

  • 4-ply worsted weight
  • 100% merino (non-superwash)
  • approx. 218 yds/100 g per skein
  • Available in store only
