Ecowool have an exciting range of the finest quality wool clothing and knitwear to suit every taste, with contemporary styles from the latest collections, plus timeless classics that will never go out of fashion. Their environmentally friendly products are made using nature's finest raw materials from pure New Zealand and, to this end, they have recently expanded their range of possum and merino knitwear.

Possum and merino is a luxurious and unique New Zealand yarn made from blending two of nature’s finest fibres – hand-selected possum fur and superfine merino wool. The natural property of the world's only 'eco fur' is that each fibre is hollow and so gives excellent insulation whilst ensuring that the garments are light and very soft, as well as being strong and durable. Possum merino wool wears better than cashmere or mohair and has superior anti-piling qualities. The Ecowool extensive range of possum merino knitwear includes sweaters, cardigans, jackets, scarves, socks, gloves, hats, scarves and more.

It is well known that possums have become a terrible pest in New Zealand but it is possibly not so well known that each night they eat 22,000 tonnes of our forests. The commercial use of possum fur fibre is thus encouraged by conservation groups and plays an important role in the protection of New Zealand’s native fauna, flora and wildlife. By purchasing one of Ecowool’s possum and merino garments means that not only will it give years of pleasure, people will have contributed to the preservation of New Zealand’s natural beauty.  Ecowool deal only with carefully selected supply partners and customers can be assured that the possum fur that they buy has come through a reputable and humane supply chain.

Ecowool have been selling the finest quality New Zealand sheepskin, woollen and natural products since1988, and online since 2001, so when people shop with them, they have the security of knowing exactly who they are dealing with - the experts. They are passionate about the products they sell, as they represent all that that the Ecowool team love about New Zealand. They select quality products made using nature's finest raw materials from pure and untouched New Zealand,  grown in unpolluted clean alpine pastures, clear natural spring waters and crisp mountain air.
