Mr Fox is 24 inches tall, 9 inches at the widest point. He is knit with hand-dyed, hand-spun wool yarn in autumn colors of brown, light red, and orange. He's a sturdy fellow. His long bushy tail is knit with the loop stitch using brown wool and the hand spun wool.
What people are saying:
"Mr. Fox is a soft sculpture with marked three-dimensionality and gorgeous coloring. It is a tribute to Marianne as a fiber artist that he is both worthy of display and that he functions just as naturally as a soft and cuddly friend. A stunning work of art with a winning personality!"
"Fabulous bushy tail. Great looking foxy"

I hand knit this fox doll with 320 yards of 100% Romney wool 2-ply yarn in shades of orange, brown, and pink by Valentine Arts. His paws and tip of tail are knit with 200 yards of brown organic wool by Maggie's Farm on size 0 Addi Turbo circular needles.
Mr. Friendly Fox can be hand washed in cool water with a mild detergent if needed. Rinse in cool water and air dry only. I have washed him in Soak Wash after knitting, stuffing and embroidery work.
