The epic collaboration with the team at Manawatu Knitting Mills strikes again, this time they have passed down their delicious possum merino blend to The New Ribbed Skirt! This little beauty has style and comfort wrapped in to one! Perfect for that aprés adventure dinner party or even that business meeting in that cold office.
Crafted from a blend of Possum Fur, Silk and New Zealand Merino Wool.
Tech Specs:
Made from a 70% Merino, 20% Possum, 10% Silk blend.
The unique blend of possum fur and merino lamb’s wool creates a piling retardant fibre. Possum fur is low-pill and anti-static which means the garment can be worn throughout the years and still look as new as the day it was purchased.
Possum fibre will not freeze, even when exposed to periods of prolonged cold. The only fibre on the planet known to have the same characteristic is Polar Bear fur.
Possum fibre has no scales and is hollow, which gives both lightness and warmth, compared to other natural fibres of a similar micron.
Possum fibre is silky to handle providing an instant feel appeal, unlike any other fibre.
The MKM boasts a 141 year tradition of creating finely crafted accessories.
Made in the rural heartland of Manawatu in the central North Island of New Zealand.

With two tones you are sure to find a multitude of ways to wear it regardless of what you are getting up to! We hope you enjoy this addition to the Opus team.

GENDER NEUTRAL (measure under arms - no shirt, at fullest circumference)
My favourite merino hoodie died a hard worn death a couple of years ago and my current one is looking a bit battered and stained so it was great to find a great replacement when I visited Ohakune over summer…summer being a bit of a pejorative term this time around…but warm and comfy when those rain squalls came through. Well made and it fits well. Could do with one in camo to keep myself blended with the surrounds when chasing the elusive Blue duck or more importantly to reduce the sandfly strike rate when photographing Fiordland Crested Penguin… afterall I have only so much blood and those blood suckers in Fiordland will find every bit of exposed skin!!. Great top in other words!!

Great to wear with baby
I have an 8 month old and the longer zip on this jumper means I can easily feed her and I bought a size up so can wear it over both of us while she's in the sling (on the front at least).
