Merino/Possum/Silk Sweater
Stock coming 24 June 2024.
Price includes postage.
The possum/silk/merino sweater is on trial as a retail item in the Peak Oil Company range. 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 warm.
As a long time user of possum wool knits, I tested this particular product over a month ski touring and van camping in Japan over their winter. I’ve worn it every day since, now in our Australian winter. I am wearing it right now, as I type this description.
It is an excellent base 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 and pants over everything. That level of layering is suitable for moderate physical activity on a below freezing day with little to no wind chill.
