Shiraz Possum Fur Throw - 70x180cmDiscontinued colour. One only.16 pelt throw 70cm x 180cmShiraz is a lovely rich red wine colour. It displays some subtle tonal fluctuation with the edges of each pelt being slightly lighter than the middle.

New Zealand Possum fur is an incredibly soft, warm, lightweight and luxurious natural product with the quality, look and feel of mink and fox. The fur is about 3-4cm (1-1 ½ inches) deep with excellent thermal properties. Each hair strand has a hallow core that traps and holds warmth and a smooth hair shaft so it feels silky and soft to touch.

So with all these wonderful attributes we should all be curled up under a possum fur throw or blanket keeping warm this winter. The bonus is that it looks fantastic displayed elegantly at the foot of your bed or draped casually over your sofa even when you aren’t using it. These possum fur blankets and throws will become a valued family heirloom handed down through the generations.
