Merino Possumsilk is a fabulous natural fibre from New Zealand. It is created from a blend of 55% ultra fine merino lambswool, 35% luxurious possum fur, and 10% pure Mulberry Silk.
Ultrafine Merino wool is very warm and soft, and not itchy. Possum fur is warmer than wool due to the hollow core of the fur, trapping air inside the fibre. It also doesn't cause an itch. Mulberry Silk is smooth and a hollow fibre, able to trap body heat within it. The mix gives strength, softness and incredible warmth. Warmer than wool!
Keep yourself warm this winter, and revel in the knowledge you are wearing a luxury garment from clean 'n green New Zealand. Possum Merino is an ecologically conscious choice - wearing this jacket allows you to contribute towards a sustainable future for New Zealand's flora and fauna.
The Australian Brushtail Possum was introduced into New Zealand in the 1800s, with disastrous results. Throughout our country, an estimated population of 80 million possums destroys 22000 tonnes of our indigenous flora every night, not to mention all the native birds that it kills each night, including our endangered iconic kiwi bird. With no natural predators, there is no way to naturally control the species, hence the need to control numbers by hunting and trapping.
