Re: Chained to a tree
They use possum fur in NZ for socks, scarves etc - mixed with wool, it is the softest and warmest material you could imagine. One good use for a NZ possum..

I think they might slaughter the possums (humanely as possible I'm sure) and then the fur is spun with the wool. I wouldn't try to knit a live possum I don't think.
