Our socks are made with a blend of 20.5 micron merino wool and super fine (around 16 micron) Possum Fur. Ideal to be worn with dress/fashion shoes. The Possum fibre has a unique hollow structure. This gives the possum fibre an extremely high warmth to weight ratio, creating a warm and comfortable garment without bulk. So efficient thermally is this sock, can keep the wearer comfortable in wide ranging temperatures i.e. cool in the heat, warm in the cold even if that's all in the one day. We source the Possum yarn from New Zealand where as introduced species, every night an estimated 90 million Possums ravage 22,000 tonnes of native vegetation.  New Zealands forests do not have the natural defences they need to survive the possum attack, defences like thorns and hard bark the Australian bush has developed over time. Possums are considered vermin and are in plague proportions, with no natural preditor in NZ, man has had to step in to preserve NZ native forests. So by buying a possum fur product, you can enjoy the luxurious fibre that is possum fur and help fix a devastating ecological threat.
