A deep red possum fur blanket is fun and modern. The black guard hairs give each skin texture. Add a dash of bright colour to your bedroom.

Bright red is a vibrant, deep, fun and happy dyed possum fur colour. Jazz up your home decor with red fur!

This possum fur has been dyed so protect from bright or direct UV sunlight to prevent fading and colour change over time.  

Each pelt is unique but we colour match a set to make into a beautiful bed throw for you. You can still see the subtle fluctuations of darker colour caused by the black guard hairs that run down the middle of each skin even though it is dyed red.

This red possum fur blanket comes with a lovely velvet textured fabric backing which stops the throw from slipping off your bed. The fabric backing can be dark red velvet or black velvet or any other colour of your choice.

Our possum furs are tanned using a special technique that means you can more easily spot clean or sponge wipe them if a spill happens without anything bad happening. You cannot wash possum fur but you can dry-clean very successfully.

New Zealand Possum fur is an incredibly silky soft, plush, warm, lightweight and luxurious natural product. In fact they say it is the third warmest fur in the world after polar bear and Arctic fox because of its hollow hair structure that traps warmth like a thermos.

And just like polar bear hair, it is the hallow hair structure that does not allow possum fur to freeze, even when exposed to extreme cold.

Possum fur is said to be 14% lighter and 8% warmer than wool. So we should all be curled up under a possum fur blanket keeping warm this winter.

New Zealand possum fur is considered durable so if it is well looked after and correctly cleaned and stored when not in use it can last up to 10 years or longer.
