Are you looking for a one-of-a-kind fibre for your next knitting or crochet project? Yarn Trader is proud to offer possum wool and possum yarn across Australia. Brushtail possums may be native to Australia, but for our neighbours in New Zealand, they are highly invasive and destructive. Possum yarn is a result of the country’s efforts to protect its native environment.

Possum yarn is incredibly lightweight with its hollow fibres. These fibres also make it extra warm, as the fur shafts trap warm air near your body. Adding possum wool to sheep’s wool gives the resulting yarn a wonderfully fuzzy halo, as well, and many possum yarns have a heathered appearance because of the mixed materials.

Possum wool is not only luxurious, but it’s warmer than both cashmere and merino wool. It blends seamlessly with sheep’s wool, cotton, and alpaca, adding warmth and loft to any knitting or crochet project.

In addition, possum yarn comes in a wide variety of weights, textures, and colours. Whether you want to make a worsted-weight jumper or a lace-weight scarf, expect your finished project to turn some heads, even before people ask what it’s made from. It even resists pilling and shedding, making long-lasting garments.
