Product Details: |
MERINO/OPOSSUM
Merino wool (80%) Opossum (20%). Opossom's fur has a hollow structure which gives the fiber its softness and warmth. It's very soft and a lovely in a light gray, natural color.
This is a very soft and luxurious fiber put up in a sliver. This blend utilizes the excellent values of possum down. This down fiber is a hollow fiber, making it both light and warm to wear. It is a smooth fibre which combines with other natural fibers to produce a yarn which doesn't pill and is hard wearing, the light opossum fibers standing out to give a slightly fluffy look to the finished garment.
Possum down is similar in quality to mink and is around 25-35 millimeters (1 -1.5) inches in length. The underfur is light in color, the guard hairs are dark and tend to stand out from the spun yarn.
We suggest that you spin this fairly fine and quite firm rather than bulky. The finished garment will only look its best after the first washing.
The fur has been used in conjunction with wool blends for several years in production of very high quality knitted garments. Limited availability!
