Possum fibre, like polar bear and reindeer fur, has hollow hair shafts that trap heat, making it perfect for cold weather. The warmth feels like a big hug, so warm!

In fact, possum wool is the third warmest in the world and 55% warmer than merino wool! While the individual hairs are too short for a 100% possum wool yarn, its magical qualities are blended with other fibres.
