Possum Merino Clothing

Naturally Warm, Naturally Light

Possum merino wrap and hat from Greenstripes, Avonhead

Possum merino is one of New Zealand’s best-loved natural fibres — a blend of fine merino wool and soft possum fur that is prized for being exceptionally warm without the weight or bulk of ordinary wool. It’s breathable, lightweight and beautifully soft against the skin, which makes it a favourite for Christchurch winters.

We stock a wide range of merino and possum merino clothing for women and men, including cardigans, jerseys, shawls, wraps and under-layers, alongside our range of scarves. Every piece is made from natural fibres, so you get lasting warmth without synthetic bulk — and a garment that only gets softer with wear.
