Possum Plus Knitting Yarn (DK - 8 ply - Light Worsted)

Possum Plus Yarn

Possum Plus is a unique range of knitting yarn from New Zealand, and is made from 20% possum fibre on a base of 80% merino lamb's wool. Available in multiple shades, this yarn exemplifies all that is best about possum - warm against the chill night air - cool in the heat of the day - and very, very soft to the touch.

Possum Plus is designed to last beyond a single season, and to be the stalwart in every knitter’s stash. It bridges the gap between the reliability of the best wool and the luxury of cashmere. Garments knitted in Possum Plus are soft yet strong, delicate yet durable, and perfect for an enormous range of traditional knitting projects.

The key to the yarn’s qualities lies in the possum fibre which 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. Nature at its most inventive!

Jamie Possum Knitting Patterns

Jamie Possum Knitting Patterns are designed specifically with Possum Plus and Possum Paints in mind. They exploit the lightness and drape of possum yarn particularly well. As our range of knitting yarns grows in weight and colour, our patterns will grow with it.

Using a pattern from another publisher

It is perfectly possible to use possum yarns with patterns designed for other yarns. However, if you do use a pattern designed for another yarn, remember that you will most commonly require less possum than you did for the yarn for which your pattern was designed, and you should adjust your order of Possum Plus or Possum Paints to take account of this.

For information on how to calculate how much Possum Plus or Possum Paints is required to service another publisher's pattern please refer to our Using Other People's Patterns section in the main site.
