Teal possum merino wool gloves at Earth to Life

Warm hands, light as a feather

Cold hands? Possum merino could be just what you need. The fibre is naturally hollow, so it traps warmth and holds it close while staying feather-light, and merino wool adds softness, gentle stretch and natural odour resistance. That means gloves that keep your hands genuinely warm without feeling bulky or stiff. Choose from full-finger gloves for the coldest days, fingerless styles when you need dexterity, and clever touchscreen-friendly conductive pairs so you can use your phone without baring your hands to the chill. In a lovely range of colours, they are a small luxury that makes winter that little bit cosier. Want to match your gloves with the rest of your layers? Explore our full possum merino range.

FAQs

Which gloves work with my phone?

The Conductive Possum Merino glove. Its fingertips are knitted to work a touchscreen, so you can answer a call without taking it off. The other styles aren't touchscreen-friendly.

Full-finger or fingerless?

Full-finger for the coldest mornings. Fingerless if you're handling keys, cards or a lead, because they stay on while your fingers stay free.

Can I match my gloves and socks?

Many of the Lothlorian colours run across both the gloves and the ribbed socks, so a matching pair is easy to put together.

Are the possums harmed?

It's the question we're asked most in the shop, and a fair one. These are New Zealand brushtail possums, not our protected Australian possums. In New Zealand they were introduced, have no natural predators and are controlled to protect the native forest and birdlife. The fibre comes from that control work; possums aren't farmed for it. We know that isn't easy reading if you love possums, so we'd rather say it plainly.
