The combination of Merino with possum results in a fabric that is lightweight, twice as warm as wool, highly resistant to pilling and opulently soft to the touch. For peace of mind, stow your knitwear in a sealed bag throughout the warmer months, where hungry moths can't snack on the keratin in the fibres. Every piece in the Siskin collection has been sustainably made in Europe using the best yarns we could find.

For the same reason, personal data is also shared with suppliers carrying out certain tasks exclusively on our behalf, such as data analytics and marketing content creation. Spinning possum fibre into yarn reduces the weight of a garment, while simultaneously increasing its warmth. After the manufacturing process, all fabrics and yarns are washed to rinse out any excess dye residues, in the first place, and secondly to remove knitting oils and dirt.

Checkered are really in at the moment and I couldn’t find an original checkered pattern that would stand out, until I found this scarf! We designed the Solo Fingerless Merino LIner Gloves to keep you comfortable yet give you that additional level of control with the fingerless construction.

So for Siskin, it was essential that every piece we created was not just soft, comfortable and durable but also a great fit. I passionately believe in recycling and love using some of my grandmother's patterns, from her rather extensive library. I choose to purchase a neck warmer and fingerless mitts (in Black Sheep colour) while visiting Edinburgh, after being introduced to the products of Woolkind.Turning off the personalised advertising setting won’t stop you from seeing Etsy ads, but it may make the ads you see less relevant or more repetitive.
