Fox does many amazing things and his specialty is lingering, overall uniformity. He's a gray that fines down and crimps up primaries to resemble secondaries. There is not much to skirt out of his and his progeny's crimpy, fine, supple fleeces.
Certified Sorted graded Fox's champion third fleece as extremely fine and uniform across all fibers and for WORSTED applications.
