Possum Skin Specifications



Our focus is on only dressing the top 20% of pelts harvested to ensure the best quality pelts.
All grades are available, but our focus is on only dressing the top 20% of pelts harvested. The remainder are used as fur fibre in the manufacture of yarn.

Possum is a wild fur, and as such has flaws, and variable fur length and density. This is why we are very careful about what we select for processing.
