 Garment Care Instructions 

As they are natural fibres, Possum and Merino garments do not need as much washing and only handwashing is recommended.  Following the steps below will help to maintain your garments good looks into the future.  

Garments can be drycleaned 

Handwash gently.  To avoid fibre damage do not rub or wring. 

• Turn your garment inside out.
• Gently hand wash in lukewarm water. Do not rub.  Dye may run in the first wash.
• Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent. Do not wring.
• Squeeze out water. Do not wring.  Wringing can damage the fibres.
• A low to medium spin cycle in a washing machine is recommended to remove as much moisture as possible.
• Lay flat to dry. Ease to shape while wet.
• Dry in shade. 

DO NOT TUMBLE DRY - Tumble drying may cause garment shrinkage   

POSSUM FUR AND MERINO WOOL BENEFITS

Possum fur is beautiful and soft to the touch.  It is the ultimate in luxury when used to create fashion wear garments. 

Possum and Merino is a luxurious and uniquely New Zealand yarn made from the blending of two of our natural finest fibres – Possum fur and superfine Merino wool.  Each Possum fibre is hollow and thus gives excellent insulation whilst ensuring that the garments are lightweight and very soft. Possum fur has many health attributes also – holding its warmth and therefore assisting in blood flow.  It can be helpful to people who suffer from conditions that prevent them from keeping warm, such as diabetes and Raynaud’s disease, as it holds its warmth thereby assisting with blood flow.  As well as being incredibly soft and warm the yarn is strong and durable.  With its superior anti-piling qualities, it wears better than cashmere or mohair.

Originally introduced from Australia in the mid 1800s, the Possums in New Zealand eat many tonnes of our forests and natural habitation each night.  Therefore, our conservation groups encourage the commercial use of Possum fur fibre to help eradicate this pest and as such play an important role in the protection of New Zealand’s native fauna and flora.  By buying our products you too are helping save New Zealand’s natural habitat.
