50% Fine Merino Wool | 40% Possum Fibre | 10% Mulberry Silk

The signature blend by Koru, this premium knitwear offers luxury and performance. With a high percentage of possum fibre combined with fine Merino wool and mulberry silk, it is exceptionally soft, silky to the touch and incredibly warm. Lightweight, yet highly insulating, it is supremely comfortable and is a great choice for those seeking the finest natural fibre knitwear.

Care Instructions

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

    Is it ethical and environmentally responsible to use possum fur?

    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.

    Will Possum Merino pill over time?

    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.

    How do I care for my Possum Merino?

    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.

    What is Possum Merino?

    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.

    How do I protect my Merino, Possum Merino, garments from moth damage?
    • Avoid spraying fragrances directly onto garments as this can attract moths.
    • In between use, and certainly out of season, store your Possum/Merino/Silk knitwear in storage bags or containers.
    • Some recommend storing your knitwear with cedar blocks, or wiping your drawers with a cloth infused with cedar essential oil, as the scent of cedar repels moths.
    • Employ the use of Clothes Moth traps in the room you store your knitwear. These can usually be found at hardware or garden centres.
    • If you start to notice small holes in your garment, place it in a compression bag in the freezer for 1 week. This will ensure all moth larvae wont be able to survive.
