Your beautiful merino possum knitwear is an investment in comfort and style. With proper care, these luxurious pieces will keep you warm and looking great for years to come.
Why Merino Possum Fiber is Special
Merino possum blend combines the best of both worlds - the softness and temperature regulation of merino wool with the lightweight warmth and durability of possum fur. This unique New Zealand fiber is naturally odor-resistant and incredibly insulating.
Washing Your Knitwear
Hand washing is best:
- Use cool water (30°C or less)
- Choose a gentle wool detergent
- Gently squeeze - never wring or twist
- Rinse thoroughly with cool water
Machine washing: If you must use a machine, select the wool cycle with cold water and use a mesh laundry bag.
Drying and Storage
Always lay flat to dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Store folded in a cool, dry place with cedar blocks or lavender sachets to deter moths.
Removing Pills
Light pilling is normal with wear. Use a fabric shaver or cashmere comb to gently remove pills and keep your knitwear looking fresh.
Following these simple steps will ensure your merino possum knitwear remains a cherished part of your wardrobe for many seasons to come.
