Possum Fur

The brushtail possum, introduced to New Zealand in the 1850s, has become a threat to our native wildlife and forests. To protect our environment, the possum population needs to be controlled. At The Wool Company, we contribute to this ecological effort by responsibly sourcing possum fur and blending it with merino wool. By responsibly harvesting possum fur as a byproduct of pest control efforts, we not only minimise environmental damage but also repurpose a valuable resource that would otherwise go to waste.

This unique combination results in luxurious knitwear that offers exceptional warmth, softness, and sustainability. Our garments not only provide superior comfort but also support the preservation of New Zealand's natural habitat.

Why Wear Possum Merino Garments?

As the leading provider of possum merino knitwear in New Zealand, The Wool Company offers you the pinnacle of warmth and luxury. Here’s why our possum merino garments stand out:

Unmatched Insulation: Possum fur fibres are hollow, providing superior warmth without bulk. Unlike other natural fibres, possum fur remains warm even in prolonged cold, similar to polar bear fur.

Featherlight Comfort: Experience the soft, lightweight feel of our expertly crafted blend. Possum fibre has no scales, offering a silky, luxurious texture.

Eco-Conscious Choice: Support New Zealand's ecological efforts by wearing sustainably sourced possum merino.

Durability: Our unique blend creates a pilling retardant, low-pill, and anti-static fibre, ensuring your garment looks as new as the day it was purchased.

Perfect Blend: Not all merino possum garments are created equal, we offer a range of blends from 20% possum blended sith superfine merino and silk which are easily worn across several seasons, to a warmer blend of 40% possum fur, 50% merino wool, and 10% silk. This combination ensures ultimate softness, strength, and resilience.
The possum fibre is itself is 55% warmer than merino, so a little goes a long way.

Silky Feel: Possum fur provides a silky handle and luxurious texture, making our knitwear exceptionally comfortable and easy to wear - even for those with sensitive skin!
