Rating: 5.00 (3 reviews)

The all-new 'Purrino' 8ply is now available. Combining 20% NZ Brushtail Possum and 80% 18 micron fine Merino, this yarn boasts a remarkably soft feel and noticeable 'loft' caused by the possum fibers surfacing in the knitted fabric. Experience the exclusive and luxurious warmth that only possum, nature's top insulator, can provide. The 140m length on a 40g ball is a result of the fine fibers, making it possible to achieve excellent yarn length for its weight. With its natural light and dark shades, the melange effect created by blending and dyeing with Merino adds to the appeal. And with 46 years of experience in the yarn industry, we can confidently say that this is one of the most satisfying yarns we have brought to market.

Loved knitting with it. I made a jumper for my teenage daughter and she's been wearing it non stop. People keep asking her where she got it from The wool is a dream to knit with and drapes beautifully.

Great yarn. I have knitted a beanie for a friend who has a terminal illness, she loves the warmth and softness of the yarn.

It was lovely to finally be able to visit the shop in person. The staff were kind, patient and knowledgeable. It was great to be able to get a suitable pattern to use with the yarn. The yarn utself is beautiful - so very soft and a perfect shade for a cosy winter cardigan. I can’t wait to get started with it.
