New Zealand Possum Skins; Luxurious, Lightweight and Warm. Possum fur is lightweight yet able to retain warmth more than any other fur on the planet - due to it's hollow fibre. Only polar bear fur is lighter for it's warmth. But, unlike polar bears, you won't be frowned upon using a possum's fur!. Possums are an introduced pest in New Zealand’s native forests – out of control as there are no natural predators of them here – your purchase of this product supports New Zealand’s conservation effort.
The fur is luxurious to touch - you'll find yourself stroking it! The skins are all treated - they're tanned and safe to give to babies and pets and also fine to take out of New Zealand; we send lots to Australia. One of the last remaining luxury furs still available on the planet and at an affordable price. They also make a great memento of NZ and gift for friends overseas.
Great product just "as is" or for crafting into other luxurious warm products - at Rozcraft we make them into scarves, ear muffs, cuffs and innersoles. Others make cushion covers, hot water bottle covers and even bed throws (although you'd need a lot of skins to make a bed throw!). Also very popular for pet toys such as our Cat Toy.
Nice and light for postage (because of that hollow fibre), approximately 120 grams.
