Possum - 4ply Crafted with care and complete traceability, our Possum Merino 4-Ply is a luxurious blend of 80% fine New Zealand Merino wool and 20% premium Possum fur. We use New Zealand Merino sourced from the South Island and hand-plucked Possum fur gathered in Southland, giving this yarn exceptional softness, warmth, and provenance you can trust. Woollen spun, this 4-ply yarn has a lofty, lightweight handle with a beautifully soft feel against the skin. The Possum fur adds natural insulation and a delicate halo, creating garments that are warm without weight and soft enough for everyday wear. Every skein offers full fibre traceability from source to finished yarn, reflecting our commitment to quality, sustainability, and ethical production. Each 100g skein is also small batch dyed in-house at Wild Earth Yarns, producing rich, layered colourways with unique depth and character. Perfect for fine knitting and crochet projects, Possum Merino 4-Ply is ideal for lightweight garments, shawls, baby knits, and timeless accessories — a beautifully soft and distinctly New Zealand yarn made with integrity from paddock to skein.
