Possumdown Quality

For Over 100 years the world had not seen a new natural fibre blend until 1991 when Possumdown Knitwear developed a blend of hand selected Possum fur and superfine Merino wool. Since then a whole new industry segment has begun with this fibre blend that is unique to New Zealand.

Hand selected Possum Fur to ensure Longevity and Softness...
True to the original process Possumdown yarn is made from carefully hand selected Possum fur for quality and length which means that the structure and attributes of the fur remain intact.

Keep Warm with Nature's Best Insulation...
Possumdown yarn is made from two of nature's finest fibres... Possum fur and superfine New Zealand Merino wool. The unique property of Possum fur is that each fibre is hollow. This gives excellent ensulation qualities ensuring that Possumdown garments are lighter compared to some other heavier knitted items.

You will get Years of Life from your Possumdown Garment...
As well as incredible softness and warmth Possumdown yarn is strong and durable. Possum fur is 16 to 17 micron (very fine) and when blended with fine Merino wool ensures a luxurious and soft handle to the fabric. Rigorous tests have proven that Possumdown wears better than most Cashmere and Merino wool garments and has superior anti-pilling qualities.
