NZGK Possum Fibre logo small.png

A-Grade possum fibre for spinners, felters and fibre artists, $7.00 per 10g packet. Happy to do other quantities.

The fibre is clean – brushed by the trapper to remove leaf debris, before hand-plucking the A-grade fibre into a dedicated bag. The fibres are 2-3cm long. It is otherwise unprocessed and retains the original tufts, range of colours and natural alignment of fibres.

South Westland Spinners and Quilters say “It feels like silk”, and ‘The best possum fibre I’ve seen”.

It is commonly blended with Merino or other fine fibres, 30:70.

Proceeds from sales of NZGK Possum fibre will be used to pay trappers in ‘NZ Gamekeepers Ltd’, whose aim is to establish nationwide coordinated trapping as a trapper-owned cooperative, and present it to the government as the alternative to 1080.
