xThe Unique Characteristics of Possum Merino
The idea of blending Merino wool and possum fibres was first developed in 1992 by a New Zealand knitter. Merino Possum knitwear emerged as a by-product of the possum control program, making the Merino possum blend an environmentally sound choice.
Why Possum Merino is Exceptional
The idea of blending Merino wool and possum fibres was first developed in 1992 by a New Zealand knitter. Merino Possum knitwear emerged as a by-product of the possum control program, making the Merino possum blend an environmentally sound choice.
Why Possum Merino is Exceptional
- Hollow Core Fibre: The possum fibre's hollow core traps air, providing extraordinary warmth (up to 30% more than a 100% wool garment). This feature also makes the fibre lighter than most natural fibres, reducing the overall weight of a garment by over 20%.
- Pilling Resistance: Merino Possum yarn is highly resistant to pilling.
- Therapeutic Benefits: Scientific evidence suggests that an enzyme in the possum fibre helps combat skin conditions like athlete’s foot and eczema.
- Moisture Vapour Transmission: Both possum and Merino fibres have a complex structure with a hydrophilic interior and a hydrophobic exterior. Merino Possum fabric absorbs and expels moisture vapour, making it breathable and able to regulate the body's microclimate.
Linens & Treasures offers a beautiful range of both Men’s and Women’s Possum Merino garments to explore.
Care Guidelines
Washing Knitwear- Hand Wash: Gently hand wash in lukewarm water using a mild wool detergent. Avoid wringing or twisting the garment to prevent damage to the fibres.
- Machine Wash: If using a washing machine, select a gentle wool cycle and use a mild wool detergent. Place the garment in a mesh laundry bag to protect it during the wash cycle.
- Drying: Lay the garment flat on a towel and reshape it to its original dimensions. Avoid hanging the garment, as this can stretch the fibres. Dry away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
- Ironing: If needed, iron on a low setting with a damp cloth between the iron and the garment to prevent scorching.
