Merino/Possum/Silk Sweater

$220.00

Price includes postage. Read more about our pricing…

Made in New Zealand by Manawatu Knitting Mills using 70% Merino for strength, 20% possum for warmth and softness, 10% silk for strength and softness, this sweater is very light weight and compact, yet very warm.

As a long time user of possum wool knits, I tested this particular product a month ski touring and van camping in Japan. I’ve worn it every day since, through our Australian winter, and keep it packed everywhere I go. I am wearing it right now, as I type this description.

It is an excellent base or mid layer, soft and comfortable against the skin, or over the hemp/cotton knit sleeveless or long sleeve shirt for added warmth and comfort in layering. On cold winter days, I layer the hemp/cotton shirt, under this merino/possum/silk sweater, with the wool coat over the sweater.

Small: 90-100cm chest; 40cm shoulder; 55cm arm

Medium: 100-110 chest; 45 shoulder; 60cm arm

Large: 110-120cm chest; 50cm shoulder; 65cm arm

I recommend getting larger than fitted, so as not to stress the knit, and allow for shrinkage if you accidently or on purpose hot wash.
