Deliciously soft and silky, Possum Fusion has a delightful blend of 65% New Zealand merino, 10% possum and 25% viscose. Combining the extreme softness and warmth of possum with the breathability of wool, and the sheen, strength and drape of viscose, Possum Fusion is a light and exceptionally warm yarn.
It gives excellent stitch definition and blooms beautifully when blocked - the balanced possum content brings a soft halo to the knitted yarn. (Possum has similar qualities to mink. The fibres are hollow, light, non-itchy, extremely warm and possum is pilling and shrink resistant.)
Possum Fusion is perfect for a wide range of knitting and crochet projects such as cosy accessories, garments and blankets. It's incredibly soft and plump - you will want to squish this yarn! Available in a lovely muted palette of 8 colours.

A note about NZ possums: Australia's brushtail possum is an introduced species in New Zealand. It has no natural predators and over time possum numbers have exploded to over 30 million. Possums have a devastating effect on the native wildlife and plant life in NZ. Decimating forests and devouring bird eggs and chicks, the environmental destruction has led to a commitment by the NZ Government to eradicate possums from all of New Zealand by 2050. 100% of possum fibre from NZ is wild caught.
