Ecowool Expanding Their Range Of Possum/Merino Knitwear

Announcement posted by Ecowool NZ 26 Mar 2014

Possum and merino is a luxurious and unique New Zealand yarn made from blending two of nature's finest fibres - hand selected possum fur and superfine merino wool. Each fibre is hollow and thus gives excellent insulation whilst ensuring that the garments are light and very soft. As well as incredible softness and warmth the yarn is strong and durable. It wears better than cashmere or mohair and has superior anti-piling qualities. The Ecowool extensive range of possum merino knitwear includes sweaters, cardigans, jackets, scarves, socks, gloves, hats, scarves and more.

Each night the possums in New Zealand eat 22,000 tonnes of our forests. The commercial use of possum fur fibre is thus encouraged by conservation groups and plays an important role in the protection of New Zealand's native fauna, flora and wildlife. Your purchase not only means that you have acquired a unique garment that will give you years of pleasure, but also that you have contributed to the preservation of New Zealand's natural beauty.

Ecowool have an exciting range of the finest quality wool clothing and knitwear to suit every taste. There are contemporary styles from the latest collections, plus timeless classics that will never go out of fashion. Ecowool offer men’s and women’s knitwear, plus a huge selection of wool hats, socks, scarves and gloves to choose from, all with one thing in common – they are made from premium grade natural fibres.
