Possum Yarn — Uniquely New Zealand, Incredibly Warm
Possum fibre is one of New Zealand's most unique and special yarns. Blended with merino, possum creates a yarn that is exceptionally warm, lightweight, and incredibly soft — with hollow fibres that trap warmth beautifully without adding weight. It's a truly special fibre that you won't find anywhere else in the world quite like this.
A Yarn That Helps Protect New Zealand's Native Environment
Possums are a significant pest in New Zealand, causing enormous damage to our native flora and fauna. By choosing possum yarn, you're not just treating yourself to something luxuriously warm — you're also supporting the protection of New Zealand's precious native forests and wildlife. It's sustainable crafting with a real conservation purpose.
