• More possum means more warmth for less weight
• Soft against the skin, made in New Zealand

McDonald Textiles knits this blend in New Zealand, leaning on a higher share of possum fibre for warmth you notice on the coldest days. Mulberry silk adds strength and a soft handle, so it wears well season after season.

McDonald Textiles is one of New Zealand's oldest textile companies, with roots dating back to 1876. Still family-owned, the company combines generations of wool-growing knowledge with modern knitwear manufacturing. Their garments are designed and made in New Zealand using premium natural fibres.

Possum Merino combines fine merino wool with premium New Zealand possum fibre to create a fabric that is exceptionally warm, lightweight and soft against the skin.

The hollow structure of the possum fibre naturally traps warmth close to the body, while merino wool helps regulate temperature and allows the fabric to breathe. Naturally odour resistant and less prone to pilling, Possum Merino often requires less frequent washing than many other fibres.

When washing is required, gentle care will help maintain the softness, shape and performance of the fibre.

Please refer to the care label attached to your garment. Hand wash in cool water using a wool detergent or select a gentle wool cycle where appropriate. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Gently reshape while damp and dry flat away from direct heat and sunlight. Do not tumble dry.
