This New Zealand made yarn spun from Possum, Merino, and Viscose is prized for its exceptional softness, warmth, and luxurious feel. The unique blend combines the silky smoothness of fine merino wool with the ultra-light, downy fibres of New Zealand brushtail possum, creating a yarn that feels sumptuously soft against the skin. Viscose adds a subtle sheen and strength, enhancing drape and durability while maintaining a gentle, natural touch. The result is a beautifully soft yarn that’s cosy yet breathable—perfect for garments worn close to the body such as scarves, sweaters, and accessories.

Beyond comfort, this fibre blend offers remarkable performance and sustainability benefits. Possum fibre has a hollow core that traps air, making the yarn incredibly warm without added weight. Merino contributes elasticity, moisture-wicking properties, and natural temperature regulation, while viscose provides smoothness and stability for a refined finish. Additionally, using possum fibre supports New Zealand’s conservation efforts by reducing the environmental impact of this invasive species. Together, these fibres create a premium yarn that’s light, soft, and beautifully versatile—ideal for knitters and crocheters seeking quality, comfort, and conscience in their craft.
