We love the plush, soft focus effect the possum fiber creates in the finished project. This yarn, named for the elegant Heron bird, is a heavier worsted weight yarn that knits up quickly on size 7 needles. While it’s great for structured garment patterns, it’s equally stunning in simple stockinette or heavily cabled projects. The warmth of the possum ensures a toasty garment, and its lightweight loft promises a project that will retain its original shape.
