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!
