Possum fibres are hollow, light, non-itchy, extremely warm and possum yarn is pilling and shrink resistant. It has similar qualities to mink.
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.
