By purchasing Supreme Possum Yarn products, not only are you helping to protect our environment, you are also buying a truly versatile and extremely warm natural fibre that will last for years.

The possum fur is hollow and when spun with merino wool, produces a hardwearing yarn with superior heat retaining qualities.

In knitwear, possum fur resists pilling and creates a gorgeous hallo that is beautifully soft and warm.




CLASSIC SWEATER in 8ply

These are only approx measurements. There doesn't seem to be any patterns around just for Possum Merino Silk yarn as yet but the Bernina shop tells me any 4ply or 8ply pattern should work out alright.

Introduced one hundred and fifty years ago to provide the basis of a New Zealand fur industry and declared a national pest in 1936; possums now inhabit all areas of native forest where they cause extensive damage eating the young shoots and leaves of our native trees and the chicks of native birds.

Purchase of Supreme Possum Merino yarn is another step in the conservation of New Zealand, as 5% of every sale goes into the preservation and restoration of New Zealand's natural environment.
