Identification

• The Yarndex Knitting and Crochet Directory lists Foxy as a super-bulky weight eyelash yarn made from acrylic fibers. The yarn was produced in shades of white, brown and black with other colors mixed in. Plymouth does not list Foxy as a currently produced yarn.
  
  

Potential Substitutes

• The furry feel of Plymouth's Foxy yarn is also in Plymouth's Color-lash, Lion Brand Yarn's Fun Fur and Festive Fur and Bernat Boa.
  
  

Considerations

• When choosing a substitute for Plymouth's Foxy yarn, consider the weight of the yarn and the effect achieved. Other super-bulky weight yarns won't provide the same feathery, furry feel to the finished project while a lighter weight eyelash yarn will.
  
  

Solution

• If the yarn you choose to substitute is lighter in weight than Plymouth's Foxy, adjust your tension or gauge accordingly. You may also knit another eyelash yarn held together with a strand of plain yarn as one strand to achieve a thicker piece of knitting.
