Merino Wool Knit Fabric

At Wicked Fabrics, I've curated a collection of Australian-made Merino wool fabrics that brings together natural fibres, local textile manufacturing and practical choices for handmade clothing.

Our Merino collection is milled in Australia using certified non-mulesed Merino wool, supporting Australian wool farmers and local manufacturing. Merino is a versatile natural fibre known for its soft feel and ability to help regulate body temperature, making it a great option for clothing worn close to the skin and for layering through changing weather.

What can you sew with Merino wool fabric?

Merino comes in different weights and constructions, so there's plenty to consider when choosing fabric for your next project.

  • Base Layers: Sew lightweight tops and everyday layers for adults and children.

  • Long Sleeve Tops: Make versatile garments that work well on their own or layered under other clothing.

  • Children's Clothing: Choose Merino for everyday basics and layering pieces.

  • Dresses and Tops: Explore patterns suited to the drape and stretch of Merino jersey.

  • Warmer Garments: Depending on the fabric's weight and construction, heavier Merino options can be suitable for jumpers and other cooler-weather clothing.

Why choose Australian-made Merino wool?

Merino offers a natural alternative to many synthetic fibres, with a soft handle and temperature-regulating properties that make it useful across different seasons. Choosing Australian-made fabric also supports local textile manufacturing and the Australian wool industry.

When selecting your fabric, consider the weight, stretch, drape and care requirements alongside your sewing pattern. These can vary between Merino fabrics, so check the individual product listing before purchasing. If you're unsure about the colour or feel, ordering a swatch is a helpful way to compare your options.
