Wallaby & Possum Fur/Fibre

NATURAL AUSTRALIAN FIBRE

Wallaby and possum fibre is great for home spinning and felting. Both have their very own and unique soft feel and can readily blend with wool or other fibres.

These are uniquely Tasmanian products - even the New Zealand possums originate from Tasmania. Lenah harvests wallaby and possum principally to produce meat; the fibre is a terrific by product.

The harvest is strictly controlled by both the Tasmanian and Federal governments to ensure it is sustainable and humane. 

Both wallaby and possum emit almost no methane, in contrast to sheep.  Methane is 27 times worse than carbon dioxide as a global warming gas. Our fibres are a true greenhouse friendly option.

FUR PRODUCTS

All our fur products are a by product of our regular harvesting and are consistent with our commitment to use the whole animal. We have developed a range of luxurious homewares and fashion products. We have bedspreads, cushion covers, hot water bottle covers, Wugg boots (Ugg boots with a wallaby fur trim), Wuffs (wallaby fur scuffs) and tanned skins.
