40% possum fibre | 53% fine merino wool | 7% silk
Exceptionally warm yet lightweight
Soft, breathable and naturally durable

Noble Wilde's signature possum merino blend combines the warmth of hollow possum fibre with the softness of fine merino wool and the strength of silk.

Possum merino combines exceptional warmth with a remarkably lightweight feel. Naturally breathable and odour resistant, it can often be aired between wears rather than washed frequently.

When washing is required, a gentle hand wash or wool cycle will help preserve the loft, softness and insulating qualities of the fibres. Always refer to the care label attached to your garment

Possum Merino Dani Longline Cardigan

Warmth from within

Possum merino gets its exceptional warmth from the brushtail possum's hollow fibres. Tiny air pockets act as a natural layer of insulation, trapping heat close to the body without adding bulk. Blended with fine merino wool, the result is an incredibly soft fabric that delivers serious warmth in a surprisingly lightweight package.

Built to last

Unlike coarser fibres that tangle and knot with wear, possum fibres are smooth making them more resistant to pilling, allowing you to enjoy your garment season after season.

Possum Merino is a uniquely New Zealand blend combining the hollow fibre of brushtail possum fur with fine Merino wool and a touch of silk. This blend is incredibly warm, lightweight, and pill-resistant. It's also an eco-friendly choice—brushtail possums are an introduced pest in New Zealand, so using their fibre helps protect native forests.

Possum Merino is naturally pill-resistant due to the smooth, hollow structure of possum fibre. Some initial light pilling may occur in high-friction areas during the first few wears, but this typically settles quickly. Gentle hand washing and proper storage will keep your garment looking its best for years.

Hand wash gently in lukewarm water using a wool-safe detergent. Do not wring or twist. Roll in a clean towel to remove excess moisture, then reshape and lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight. Avoid tumble drying and ironing. Store folded rather than hung to maintain the garment's shape over time.

The Australian brushtail possum (not to be confused with the American opossum) was introduced to New Zealand in 1837. With no natural predators, numbers grew rapidly reaching an estimated 70 million by the 1980s. The impact on New Zealand's native environment has been significant, with possums threatening the survival of native birds, plants and insects.

Trapping and pest control programmes have helped reduce numbers, and the possum fur industry plays an important role in keeping populations in check. The use of possum fur is supported by both the New Zealand Department of Conservation and the World Wildlife Fund. Choosing possum merino is a small but meaningful contribution to that effort.
