| Supreme Possum Merino’s unique New Zealand yarn provides garments that are light, soft and very warm. It has taken 7 years of research to perfect the process of blending Merino wool with possum fur. The possum fur is hollow and, when spun with merino wool, produces a hard-wearing yarn with superior heat retaining qualities. And while other similar fibers contain only 15-30% possum fiber, Supreme Possum Merino yarn has a 40% fur content. In knitwear, possum fur, unlike angora, resists pilling and is a lot fluffier. It also has the benefit of having minimal or no skin irritation, unlike other animal fibers. Purchase of Supreme Possum Merino yarn is another step in the conservation of New Zealand, as 5% of every sale goes into the preservation of New Zealand environment. |
