Proudly Made in New Zealand, Alpine 8ply by Wild Earth Yarns is a soft and interesting yarn unique to New Zealand.

Woolen spun in Christchurch from Polwarth wool fibre and possum fur to create a heathered yarn that is very soft and suitable for knitting colourwork. The yarns are perfect for garments and accessories such as shawls, hats and mitts. 
Due to the yarn being woollen spun it makes colourwork a dream!

Polwarth which is a great merino fibre - soft and slightly sheeny with less pilling and so more durable than comparable merino yarns.

Possum is truly one of nature’s super hero fibres, possessing exceptional insulating properties and providing superior warmth. This insulation is attributed to the hollow structure of possum fibres, which effectively traps heat close to the body. Despite it’s excellent warmth, possum fibre is incredibly soft and gentle against the skin. It offers a luxurious feel akin to cashmere.

The possum fibre is sourced from the brushtail possum, an invasive species in New Zealand that poses a significant threat to native flora and fauna. The fur used is hand plucked from possums which are trapped in the South Island of New Zealand.  Only use the back fur as this is the more superior fibre.

By utilising possum fibre, not only are natural resources conserved, but efforts are also made to control the possum population.

Similar in structure to other well known brands, this worsted DK 8ply weight version will work as a very suitable substitute in many modern patterns and is plump enough to work for many 10ply patterns too.

Comfy and Cute (but run small)
Size: 3 Big Kid, Color: Black, Size: 3 Big Kid, Color: Black
I wanted black shoes for my kids’ Halloween costumes, but specifically ones they liked and would wear again. I let my three daughters (9, 10 and 11 y/o) scroll Amazon and they chose these, saying their friends had similar ones. These were only $20 a pair, which is a steal for kids tennis shoes so I didn’t expect much. They seem pretty solid. Two of my kids have worn them for a couple weeks and they’re holding up well and seem comfortable-no kid complaints. However, they do run about one size too small. All 3 girls had to size up one size. One of them has a taller and slightly wider foot and she struggles a bit to put them on, but they are comfortable one she does. You can loosen and tighten the elastic laces, but the shoe itself is one piece and doesn’t really stretch so if you have a fat footed kid I’d suggest another shoe, otherwise these are great.

Good enough
Size: 13.5 Little Kid, Color: Gradient Pink
These are comfy and my daughter loves wearing them. The plastic piece that moves on the laces has ripped up the laces after about a month making it tricky to move. These are a good fill in shoe, but won't last a whole school year.

Good shoes for growing rough boys
Size: 4.5 Big Kid, Color: All Black/Without Strap
Bought these for my son and he loves them. He so rough on shoes I refuse to pay over $30 on him a pair. I still wanted him to have comfort and stability to support his growing body. These seemed perfect. He can put them on by himself and the fit is true to size. I appreciate when I can find half sizes.

My daughter loves these shoes. Very well made and stylish! I don’t want to spend a lot of money on shoes the last few weeks of school and these were perfect.
