Merino/Possum

Pure Merino Wool is combined with Possum Fur to produce a luxurious fibre softer, lighter and warmer than any fibre previously made.

It has superior wearing characteristics, washing well and being resistant to pilling (rubbing).

The possum fur comes from New Zealand where possums have been harvested since the late 1940’s. The possum is a pest in New Zealand having been introduced from Australia in the 1800’s to establish the fur industry. The possum now poses a threat to the environment as it destroys the habitat of native New Zealand birds and animals whilst also threatening agriculture and humans through the spread of disease. The possums are harvested humanely and the purchase of a possum product is actually assisting the restoration of the New Zealand environment.
