Quite apart from the obvious ecological benefits of buying New Zealand possum products, their warmth and silky smoothness make them one of the most sought-after fashion statement articles this winter and Ecowool have an exciting new range which can be found on their website at https://www.ecowool.com/possum-fur-products/possum-fur-clothing.html . Possum 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. Each fibre is hollow and thus gives excellent insulation whilst ensuring that the garments are light and very soft. As well as incredible softness and warmth the yarn is strong and durable. It wears better than cashmere or mohair and has superior anti-piling qualities.

Originally introduced from overseas, the possums in New Zealand eat 22,000 tonnes of our forests each night. The commercial use of possum fur fibre is therefore encouraged by conservation groups and plays an important role in the protection of New Zealand's native fauna, flora and wildlife.
