Merino Possum Monarch

Description

80 % NZ Merino / 20% Possum

From the South Island, woollen spun by Wild Earth Yarns, this is a light, airy and bulky 4 Ply weight yarn.

Possum has only short fibres so needs another fibre with which to combine. The Possum adds a dark hair and halo to this naturally coloured yarn base. The dyed yarns have a semi solid heathered look.

Monarch butterflies were the inspiration for this yarn name
