Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this collection “100% natural”?

Every piece here is made only from natural fibres — ZQ merino, possum, cashmere, silk, cotton or linen. No synthetics are added, so garments are breathable, comfortable and biodegradable.

Do you use synthetics anywhere?

Not in this collection. Some performance styles elsewhere in our store may contain a tiny nylon content for durability, but they are not shown on this page.

Is possum fibre ethical?

Yes. In New Zealand, brushtail possums are an introduced pest that damage native forests and birdlife. Using their fibre supports conservation while creating ultralight warmth when blended with merino and silk.

What is WholeGarment® knitting?

Our Shima Seiki WholeGarment® machines knit each piece in 3D with no cutting and minimal waste. The result: seamless comfort, beautiful drape and a cleaner production process.

How warm and breathable are natural fibres?

Merino regulates temperature and resists odour, possum adds light loft and extra warmth, silk gives strength and sheen, cotton and linen offer cool breathability. Together they’re comfortable across seasons.

How do I care for my NZ Charly knit?

Hand wash (or delicate cycle in a bag) in cool water with wool detergent. Reshape and dry flat out of direct sun. Avoid heat and tumble drying. Air between wears to reduce washing and extend life.

Where is NZ Charly made?

Proudly in New Zealand in small batches. We source ZQ-certified merino and knit locally for quality you can feel.
