• 70% superfine merino, 20% possum, 10% silk

Native World's 20% blend leans on superfine merino for softness, with possum fibre for lightweight warmth and a little silk for durability. A well-balanced knit that's easy to wear day to day.

Native World has been creating premium New Zealand-made knitwear for more than 35 years. Based in Canterbury, the brand specialises in garments crafted from natural fibres including superfine merino wool, New Zealand possum fibre and mulberry silk. By combining traditional knitting expertise with premium yarn blends, Native World creates lightweight, comfortable knitwear designed for warmth, durability and everyday wear.

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.
