Possum fibre is unique in that it has a naturally hollow core that allows it to trap air and retain heat providing extraordinary insulation quality, approximately a 30% more warmth retaining ability than Merino wool alone. When combined with high crimp, fine Merino wool, Possum fibre produces ultra-lightweight garments that are luxuriously soft, extremely warm and resistant to piling. MKM Original sources all of their Merino and Possum fibre ethically and sustainably from New Zealand, which is spun together by Wool Yarns in Lower Hutt, NZ.
