At Thread & Maple, we are thrilled to offer the luxurious Louie & Lola Merino Possum yarn, hand-dyed by our friend Karina Moore, all the way from Tasmania! This exceptional yarn is not just a treat for knitters and crocheters but also a step towards sustainable and ethical crafting. Let’s dive into what makes this yarn so special and why it deserves a place in your stash.
A Unique Blend of Luxury and Warmth
Louie & Lola Merino Possum yarn combines the finest Australian and New Zealand merino wool with the unique properties of possum fiber. The result is an incredibly soft and lightweight yarn that is eight times warmer than wool alone. The addition of possum fiber not only enhances warmth but also gives the yarn a silky smooth texture and a beautiful halo effect, perfect for creating cozy garments and accessories.
Sustainable and Ethical Sourcing
One of the standout features of Merino Possum yarn is its commitment to sustainability. Possum fiber is sourced as part of conservation efforts in New Zealand to protect native flora and fauna from the environmental impact of overpopulation. By using possum fiber, this yarn supports ecological balance while repurposing a natural resource that would otherwise go to waste.
Benefits of Possum Fiber
Possum fiber offers several unique benefits:
- Warmth: Possum fur is hollow, providing exceptional insulation without added weight.
- Softness: The blend with merino wool creates a yarn that is luxuriously soft and gentle against the skin.
- Durability: Possum fiber resists pilling, ensuring your projects remain beautiful for years.
- Hypoallergenic: This yarn is an excellent choice for those with sensitive skin, as it’s naturally hypoallergenic.
A Palette of Possibilities
The Louie & Lola Merino Possum yarn comes in a stunning range of colors, from earthy neutrals to rich, vibrant hues. Whether you’re planning a classic sweater, a cozy scarf, or a delicate shawl, you’ll find the perfect shade to bring your vision to life.
