I know what you are thinking, what is Awesome Possum?
Awesome Possum is… “Supreme Possum Merino” yarn which is a unique New Zealand yarn that yields garments that are light, soft and very warm. It is a blend of 40% possum, 50% merino and 10% silk. The possum fur is hollow and, when spun with merino wool, produces a hardwearing yarn with superior heat retaining qualities. And while other similar fibres contain only 15-30% possum fibre, Supreme Possum Merino yarn has a 40% fur content. Silk is also added to add to the strength of the yarn. In knitwear, possum fur, unlike angora, resists pilling and is a lot fluffier. It also has minimal or no skin irritation.”
Awesome Possum is bringing to Creativ Festival some kits and yarn. You can either buy the kits as a complete item or just buy the yarn separately for another project you wish to complete with their Supreme Possum Merino.
