Merino Possum Moss Stitch Shrug KO756

This lightweight yet warm shrug can be worn two different ways, making it a very versatile piece and great for layering.

Made proudly in New Zealand from a premium blend of 40% possum fur, 50% merino lambswool & 10% mulberry silk.

Possum fur has a unique hollow structure which traps air, providing exceptional insulation properties. It also has no scales, making it silky soft to the touch. The addition of fine merino lambswool and Mulberry silk adds strength, additional warmth and silky softness to the garments.

The New Zealand brushtail possum is an introduced species brought to NZ from Australia in 1837. With no natural predators, they have become New Zealands most damaging animal pest, wreaking havoc on native forests and wildlife, including the iconic kiwi. The use of possum fur in Koru knitwear helps to preserve New Zealands unique and beautiful environment.
