These Plain Knit Fingerless Merino Possumsilk Gloves are part of the fabulous McDonald New Zealand Merino Possum Collection.
Merino Possumsilk is a fabulous fibre from New Zealand. It is created from a blend of 55% ultra fine merino lambswool, 35% luxurious possum fur, and 10% Mulberry silk. Ultrafine Merino wool is very warm and soft, and not itchy. Possum fur is warmer than wool due to the hollow core of the fur, trapping air inside the fibre. And Pure Mulberry Silk is luxuriously warm and smooth. The mix gives strength, softness and incredible warmth.
These fingerless gloves are ideal for people who want to work with their hands whilst still keeping them warm. Merino Possumsilk is warmer than wool yet very lightweight, so these fingerless gloves won't feel bulky at all.
The Merino Possumsilk Fingerless Gloves are available in Sizes Small, Medium and Large, and a range of colours.
Keep yourself warm this winter, and revel in the knowledge you are wearing a luxury garment from clean 'n green New Zealand. Possum Merino is an ecologically conscious choice - wearing these gloves allows you to contribute towards a sustainable future for New Zealand's flora and fauna.
The Australian Brushtail Possum was introduced into New Zealand in the 1800s, with disastrous results. Throughout our country, an estimated population of 80 million possums destroys 22000 tonnes of our indigenous flora every night, not to mention all the native birds that it kills each night, including our endangered iconic kiwi bird. With no natural predators, there is no way to naturally control the species, hence the need to control numbers by hunting and trapping.
Proudly made in New Zealand, and shipped worldwide.
Feedback:
' Just wanted to say thanks . Love the fingerless gloves. Perfect as I needed gloves that covered the first joint and are warm. Recovering from a dislocated index finger that aches as soon as my fingers get cold and I can still type'.
