Zealana | Kiwi Fingering

Description

Zealana Kiwi Fingering yarn is both fine and resilient, so it is the perfect choice for garments that need to go the extra mile, and stand up to lots of washing! The addition of organic cotton to the much loved merino/possum blend makes Kiwi lighter and cooler, making it just right for trans-seasonal garments. It’s part of Zealana’s Performa Series, which is designed to be a harder-wearing, yet still luxurious, yarn.

This yarn is great for shawls, wraps, hats, cardigans, and other garments to help navigate changeable weather.

About Zealana

Woolyarns, the owner of Zealana, was the first company to spin possum yarns. They created the Zealana brand in order to showcase their ultra soft, light, warm and durable luxury hand knitting yarns. Their Performa series of yarns features machine washable possum blends.

Settlers brought the non-native possum to New Zealand in the 19th century for the purpose of building a fur industry. Then the possums devastated New Zealand’s bird population. When you buy Zealana yarns, you are helping manage the possum population in New Zealand, and helping prevent possum predation on New Zealand native birds. You’re also getting yarn made with a fibre that is breathable, warmer than either merino or cashmere, and luxuriously soft.
