Auckland Possum Merino is the New Cashmere
Our Auckland Possum Merino blend is considered the new Cashmere, highly regarded as the most delicate fibre globally.
As a contender, possum fibre is silky to the touch, providing an instantly appealing feel, unlike any other thread. It is low-pill and anti-static, meaning the garment can be worn for many years and still look as new as the day it was purchased. Combined with New Zealand merino wool, possum fur creates a unique texture that provides incredible comfort and a luxurious feel.
Possum Merino Fibre is Warmer and Lighter
The Possum Merino fibre is even warmer and lighter than the Cashmere. This fantastic fibre's warmth and comfort are unrivalled, insulating 35% more than cashmere. This is due to the hollow centre in the brushtail possum’s hair, acting as a double-glazed layer to retain warmth against the body.
Despite this, Possum Merino is highly breathable, the moisture vapour of the body being expelled by a complex comparable to a cuticle. An additional attribute of the hollow fibres is the fibre’s lightness, hovering somewhere around 20% lighter than traditional cashmere.
Possum Merino Knitwear is Unique to New Zealand
Thanks to a staunch resistance to wear and its insulating properties, Possum Merino knitwear is perfect for autumns and winters in New Zealand (the South Island in particular). We guarantee these will become your go-to winter garment.
Possum fur is collected from the NZ Government’s eradication programme to create these clothes. This utilises a sustainable avenue of harvesting while supporting the protection of native birds. The Department of Conservation recognises that our natural heritage should be preserved, and fur recovery is the best solution for the job. Furthermore, the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) supports our use of recovered possum fur. Our entire supply chain is New Zealand-based, so when you endorse Great Kiwi Yarns, you support a network of local designers, farmers, and business owners.
