Koru possum socks are made from 40% Possum, 50% Merino Lamb’s Wool, and 10% Silk. If sensible care is taken, they 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 socks we recommend that you hand wash them. 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.
