Just Landed and locally dyed! Little Fox TrueWash Fine is a fingering-weight yarn that offers easy care without the environmental concerns associated with the traditional superwash process. It is made using a GOTS-certified compound for an eco-friendly machine-washable yarn! Even better, this soft, springy 2-ply yarn is spun from organic Merino wool - a lovely choice for shawls or lightweight garments.

Check out how it works!
