Possum Facts
- Possum fur is 30% warmer than wool due to its fine, hollow fibres that trap warm air, increasing warmth retention
- The hollow core of possum fur is lightweight and comfortable, 20% lighter than other wool types
- The natural properties of possum fibres resist odour so reduces the need for frequent washing
- Possum fibres in Koru knits have no scales which makes the are incredibly soft when combined with Mulberry Silk
- Nature fibres will decompose naturally at the end of its life
Possums are an introduced species to New Zealand causing significant damage to our native forests and endangered wildlife. The New Zealand Department of Conservation has declared the possum a national pest and is working towards its eradication. Possum fur in Koru throws does not use fur that is farmed for clothing.
