Looking for a yarn that’s unbelievably soft, warm, and lightweight? Meet Possum Fusion!
If you love cosy knits but find some wools too itchy or heavy, Possum Fusion is the perfect solution. This luxuriously soft blend of New Zealand merino, possum, and viscose combines the best of each fibre:
- Incredible warmth – Possum fibre is hollow, trapping heat without adding weight, making it warmer than wool but still breathable.
- Beautiful drape & sheen – The viscose content adds strength, structure, and a subtle glow to your finished fabric.
- Plush softness with a gentle halo – The balanced possum content blooms when blocked, creating a soft, non-itchy finish with a slight fuzz reminiscent of mink.
- Resists pilling & shrinking – Unlike many other natural fibres, possum is naturally resistant to both, keeping your knits looking fresh for longer.
Perfect for cosy accessories, garments, and blankets, this yarn is soft, plump, and an absolute joy to squish. With excellent stitch definition and a lovely muted palette of eight colours, Possum Fusion will bring warmth and elegance to every project.
Once you knit with it, you’ll never want to go back!

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.
