Proudly Made in New Zealand, Alpine 8ply by Wild Earth Yarns is a soft and interesting yarn unique to New Zealand.
Woolen spun in Christchurch from Polwarth wool fibre and possum fur to create a heathered yarn that is very soft and suitable for knitting colourwork. The yarns are perfect for garments and accessories such as shawls, hats and mitts.
Due to the yarn being woollen spun it makes colourwork a dream!
Polwarth which is a great merino fibre - soft and slightly sheeny with less pilling and so more durable than comparable merino yarns.
Possum is truly one of nature’s super hero fibres, possessing exceptional insulating properties and providing superior warmth. This insulation is attributed to the hollow structure of possum fibres, which effectively traps heat close to the body. Despite it’s excellent warmth, possum fibre is incredibly soft and gentle against the skin. It offers a luxurious feel akin to cashmere.
The possum fibre is sourced from the brushtail possum, an invasive species in New Zealand that poses a significant threat to native flora and fauna. The fur used is hand plucked from possums which are trapped in the South Island of New Zealand. Only use the back fur as this is the more superior fibre.
By utilising possum fibre, not only are natural resources conserved, but efforts are also made to control the possum population.
Similar in structure to other well known brands, this worsted DK 8ply weight version will work as a very suitable substitute in many modern patterns and is plump enough to work for many 10ply patterns too.
