Merino Jersey
Looking for a natural fibre knit for cooler weather layering? Merino jersey is a versatile option for sewing soft, lightweight garments that help regulate temperature without adding unnecessary bulk. It's particularly useful for clothing worn close to the skin, making it a great choice for both adults and children.
At Wicked Fabrics, our 100% Merino Jersey is knitted and milled in Australia from Australian Merino wool. It's a lovely option for sewists who value natural fibres and want to support local textile manufacturing while creating practical, long-lasting wardrobe pieces.

What can you sew with Merino jersey?
Merino jersey is well suited to base layers, long sleeve tops, lightweight leggings, children's clothing, dresses and other garments where a soft knit is appropriate. It's particularly useful for layering under warmer garments during cooler weather.
Before choosing your fabric, check your sewing pattern's stretch and weight requirements, along with the fabric's care instructions. As a natural wool knit, Merino jersey may need more careful handling than some cotton blends.
Not sure about the colour or feel? Ordering a swatch lets you assess the fabric's softness, stretch and drape before purchasing by the metre.
