Experience the exceptional softness, warmth, and lightweight comfort of Purrino 8 Ply Possum Merino Yarn, a premium New Zealand-made yarn crafted from 20% NZ Brushtail Possum and 80% ultra-fine 18-micron Merino.
Renowned for its luxurious feel and remarkable warmth-to-weight ratio, possum fibre is one of nature's finest insulators. Its unique hollow-core structure helps trap warmth while remaining incredibly light, creating garments that feel cosy and comfortable without unnecessary bulk.
As your project is worn and enjoyed, the fine possum fibres gently bloom through the fabric to create a beautiful soft halo and luxurious finish. The natural light and dark tones of the possum fibre blend seamlessly with dyed merino shades, producing rich melange colours with depth, texture, and timeless appeal.
With an impressive 140 metres per 40g ball, Purrino offers excellent yardage, allowing knitters and crocheters to create lighter garments while using less overall weight. The result is beautifully balanced knitwear that delivers warmth, softness, and comfort in every stitch.
Perfect for sweaters, cardigans, scarves, shawls, hats, gloves, baby garments, and heirloom-quality accessories, Purrino is a favourite among knitters seeking premium natural fibres and genuine New Zealand craftsmanship.
Whether you're creating a special gift or a treasured addition to your own wardrobe, Purrino Possum Merino Yarn delivers the luxury, performance, and beauty that only a premium possum and merino blend can provide.
