Authentic Quality
Hello Possums sells Native World knitwear manufactured in New Zealand by Manawatu Knitting Mills who specialise in the design and manufacture of knitwear using locally sourced fibres, including Possum Merino and New Zealand Wool.

warm & comfortable
100% Natural
Warm air is trapped against the skin of the hollow possum fibres, this trapped air not only efficiently retains heat but makes the fabric lightweight. A well as being lightweight, possum merino knitwear is incredibly soft and breathable with anti-pilling properties.

Health benefits
Soft & Delicate
All garments are treated with a Manuka Hydrosol extract from the manuka plant, which is known for its antibacterial properties, and as a non-irritant, even against the most delicate of skin.
Let customers speak for us
from 54 reviewsEnsemble de qualité ! J’aime la couleur et particulièrement la matière ! Merci !

Great fingerless gloves and so warm, that is why I bought a 2nd pair and am contemplating the black.

Soft, warm, beautiful colors, well-made. Wear these often and for many hours as they don’t interfere with writing and keyboarding.

The photos and accompanying information don’t show you how great this product is.
The fabric is made from a super soft, warm blend of sustainably repurposed possum fur, merino wool and mulberry silk fibres.
The warmest and most comfortable natural fibre I’ve worn.
I first wore one of these garments back in 2017, but wasn’t until I tried other inferior manufacturers sweaters of plain merino, that I realised how great this material is.
Now in 2024 I find this particular sweater with half neck zip, is beautifully made, with a nice rib detail down the arms, which is impossible to see in the manufacturer’s photos. The colour is a lovely rich dark wine.
My advice to the manufacturer is get some professional product photography done that retailers can display for customers to properly see the beauty of these materials and garments. Native World should also consider readdressing all the branding of tags, descriptions, and other text to properly and succinctly convey the positive sustainability of these fantastic garments.
The retailer here, Hello Possums, it a very dilligent and attentive importer of this Kiwi brand, delivering within reasonable time frames on a product that literally comes from the other side of the world.

Great gloves to manage my Reynauds. I pretty much have to wear something in my hands all day, all winter long living in Vermont. I ordered the wrong kind of glove at first and they responded beautifully to my concern and sent me a new pair lickety split. I love the poppy color too!

This V-neck sweater is awesome! It's super comfy and just the right weight—warm but not too heavy. The fit is spot on, and it looks great with pretty much anything. I got it in a couple of colors, and they’re perfect for work or just hanging out. Really happy with the quality—thinking about grabbing another one!

These gloves are the warmest gloves I've ever had! The fit is perfect and were delivered quickly. Will purchase another pair.

I have always struggled with getting the right hat, my head gets cold and needs a hat. However, the thick acrylic hats or fleece lined hats that are standard everywhere are far to hot after but a few minutes of wearing them. I'd say it's slightly warmer than those microfleece knit style extremely thin merino wool hats.This provides enough extra heat to make me comfortable and the breathable nature means I can wear it through a fairly large range of temperatures. On clearly cold days <3℃ I reach for the thicker hats mentioned above but as a day to day always in my pocket it's perfect.Extremely small in a pocket.Naturally good level of water resistance.Just enough heat

These gloves are great! I've tried all sorts over the years to keep my hands warm and these are the best. I bought a pair in NZ but these are thicker. Really pleased with my purchase. They did take a few extra days to arrive but they're worth the wait.

These are just what I was looking for: on the thin side, high quality and well made, warm, very comfortable.My hands are average size for a male of 5'10". The medium size fits perfectly. I think the large size would have been a little too loose.I recommend these gloves to anyone who loves wool garments and high quality. Not to mention style and amazing colors.I have a larger wool mit that fits over them when it gets real cold that are easy to put on and off.

I first bought a pair of these in New Zealand and was devastated when I lost one! Delighted to find them here. They are very warm and comfy and so useful. I wear them a lot. Much warmer than others I have tried.

I have worn these gloves for skiing, for hiking and for working on my computer on a chilly day. I have found them incredibly warm, light and comfortable. Despite my Raynaud's condition, they almost always keep my hands sufficiently warm without needing to wear any mittens over them and it is very useful to have full dexterity in my hands. The wide wristband plays an important part in the warmth factor and I just love the colours!Highly recommended.

Mam liked everything about these fingerless gloves: from how they were wrapped within the packaging to the luxurious warmth they exude. Class!

I have medium size hand and they fit perfectly. So soft, comfortable, warm.I love them.

Gorgeous product, the possum merino beanie is beautiful, lovely colours, reversible and warm without being overwhelming. Beautifully packaged also, would definitely buy again
