8ply Possum Yarn | Purrino 40g/140m | Countrywide

Description

20% NZ Brushtail Possum combined with 80% 18 micron fine Merino gives this yarn a superbly soft handle and noticeable ‘loft’ as the possum fibres come to the surface of the knitted fabric.  This creates the exclusive and luxurious warmth only achievable with possum, natures best insulator.  With these fine fibres it is possible to achieve excellent yarn length for weight with 140m on a 40g ball.  The natural light and dark shades of Possum fibres create a melange effect when blended and dyed with Merino, the length on the ball means less weight and cost per garment.  Countrywide have been in the yarn business for 46 years, saying this the most satisfying yarn they’ve brought to market.  Enjoyment for the wearer and crafter both.
