Beautiful Rich Colour, Great to Sew
I loved this fabric. The colour is rich and deep. I used a ballpoint needle and machine sewed the seams and overlocked the seam. The material responded beautifully. Next to sew the black merino!

Loved the Material
I have not sewn this material yet but really looking forward to using it. I ordered a wool jersey which arrived very promptly. Fabric is of high quality and was reasonably priced. Very impressed with Wicked Fabrics.

Merino Wool Jersey
I love the quality, and my purchases arrived SO quickly. I have washed my fabric, but haven’t sewn it as yet, as I am completing a two piece garment. The merino is next on my list and I’m looking forward to sewing it.
