Possum yarn is prized for its exceptional warmth, silky softness, and lightweight feel, making it a popular choice among knitters and crocheters seeking something truly unique. Spun from a blend of brushed possum fur and other natural fibres — often merino wool or silk — this yarn offers excellent insulation while remaining breathable and comfortable to wear.

Thanks to the natural hollow structure of possum fibres, this yarn traps heat efficiently without adding bulk, making it ideal for luxurious winter garments, cosy accessories, and lightweight layering pieces. Its slightly fuzzy halo gives projects a beautiful texture and depth, perfect for scarves, jumpers, wraps, and more.
