Merino Possum Textured Shrug TR1025

This warm shrug can be worn two different ways as shown on the right.
Made proudly in New Zealand from a premium blend of 65% Merino Lambswool / 25% Possum Fur/ 10% Silk.

Possum fur has a unique hollow structure which traps air, providing exceptional insulation properties. It also has no scales, making it silky soft to the touch. The addition of fine merino lambswool and Mulberry silk adds strength, additional warmth and silky softness to the garments.

The New Zealand brushtail possum is an introduced species brought to from Australia in 1837. With no natural predators, they have become New Zealands most damaging animal pest, wreaking havoc on native forests and wildlife, including the iconic kiwi. The use of possum fur in Koru knitwear helps to preserve New Zealands unique and beautiful environment. Care information

Avoid spraying fragrances directly onto garments as this can attract moths

Store your Possum/Merino/Silk knitwear in storage bags or containers

Some recommend storing your knitwear with cedar blocks as the scent of cedar wood repels moths

If your garment gets infested by moths, place your garment in a compression bag in the freezer for 1 week. This will ensure all moth larvaes won’t be able to survive.
