Koru Possum Shawl

Koru Possum Shawl

Possum is rightly considered the first choice for people out and about in all weathers, but that's not the whole story. These possum shawls grace any social occasion, grand or simply convivial. Providing the perfect on the shoulder hug and available in five beautiful colours, the shawls are wonderfully lightweight and offer a quality wrung from the same 40% Possum, 50% Merino Lamb’s Wool, and 10% Silk mix that has made Koru a byword for luxury!.

The shawl is 80" x 22" (203cm x 56cm).

If sensible care is taken, this garment should give service for many years. The possum fibre is hollow, making it a natural heat exchanger. The millions of fibres woven through the yarn combine to regulate the wearer’s body heat, a quality which has made it the knitwear of choice for ramblers, golfers, hill walkers, fisherfolk and countless others out and about in New Zealand and Australia. When the wearer is cool, the possum traps heat, warming her. When too warm. the possum fibres vent the excess heat into the atmosphere, maintaining her at a pleasant ambient temperature.

To get the best out possum knitwear we recommend that you hand wash it. If you choose to use a washing machine, please ensure that you use the machine's most delicate program. Possum based garments must never be washed at temperatures higher than 30°C. We accept no responsibility for any problems arising from the machine washing of garments.
