Possum-merino Wool

The combining of possum fibre with merino wool was a bit inspired.  Both share some characteristics - lightweight, quick drying, insulating, non-pilling, natural but they also complement each other.  The possum is tremendously insulating, but the merino also wicks away moisture - so you shouldn't get overly hot and uncomfortable in a possum-merino garment. 

Possum and merino fibres are combined with a little nylon for extra strength, espeically in socks.  Sometimes the nylon is replaced by silk in some garments which is even a touch more luxurious, if that is possible.

YOu will rarely see lighter colours in possum-merino, as the lightest a fabric can be is governed by the nature of possum fibre, which is either natural brown or natural grey - not normally blonde and never white.

KiwiKate began with the insoles, and then came the socks.  The garments followed.  Careful - once worn, this fabric is completely moreish!
