A professional possum fur grader can sort possum colours into nine distinct colours being grey, pale, black, light slate, dark slate, red brown, dark brown, red neck and rusty. Read more...

All fur bed blanket sizes assume that you do not want the pillows covered so 40cm (16") is taken off the mattress length from head to foot. Some of our fur blankets overlap the edges of the bed more than others. Use this guide to find the best size for your bed.

Every step of the possum blanket making process is very labour intensive. Once all the factors are considered we hope that the true value of talented and skilled craftspeople that make these wonderful products will be better appreciated.

At home minor spills on possum fur throws and blankets can be soaked up with a paper towel or sponge. It is possible to gently wipe the fur with a clean damp cloth or sponge but make sure that no water gets through to the leather underneath the fur.

Each fur repair project is unique depending on the age of the fur and the issues like split or perished skins, holes, weak areas of leather, dry and dull matted fur, furs that need to be replaced etc. Not all furs can be repaired, in fact many of the fur throws that we see are well beyond any help.
