The unique blend of Possum Fur and Merino Wool is renowned for exceptional warmth and durability. Possum fur has a hollow core, making for an incredibly insulating but very lightweight fibre.
Possum Merino has a softness often compared to Cashmere, but can be up to 35% warmer. Unlike delicate Cashmere, Possum Merino is naturally pill-resistant, resistant to abrasion and has great shape-retention. Possum Merino is up to 55% warmer than Merino alone, as well as being softer, stronger and still retaining all of the moisture-wicking and temperature-regulating qualities of Merino wool.
Possums are an invasive species in New Zealand that devastate our beautiful native flora and fauna; Using their fur as a natural byproduct of pest management is an eco-conscious way to utilise its benefits whilst protecting Aotearoa's ecosystem.
