McDonald Textiles

McDonald Merino wool, Possum and Mulberry silk knits and clothing. Stylish, comfortable and warm clothing designed in New Zealand.

The brush tail possum is a small New Zealand marsupial with a coat of incredibly warm fur. The secret to this fur’s warmth is its hollow structure, an attribute found in only one other species – the polar bear. With air trapped inside the fibre, the fur provides sumptuous warmth, natural insulation and incredible lightness. So much so, that independent tests show when blended with merino it is 55% warmer than sheep wool and 35% warmer than Cashmere.
