Textured Knit Fabric

Looking for something a little different from a smooth jersey? Textured knit fabrics bring added surface detail to handmade clothing, giving even simple sewing patterns a different look and finish.

At Wicked Fabrics, I've curated a selection of textured knits for sewing everyday garments, from relaxed tops and dresses to jumpers and children's clothing. Whether you prefer a raised waffle pattern, a ribbed finish or a more distinctive knitted texture, these fabrics offer plenty of options for your next project.

Explore our textured knit fabric range:

• Waffle Jersey: A raised grid texture that adds interest to tops, dresses and other garments suited to its weight and stretch.

• Rib Knit Jersey: A textured knit with raised vertical ribs, suitable for fitted garments and everyday basics.

• Cable Knit: A raised knitted pattern that works well for jumpers, cardigans and other garments designed for textured knits.

Choosing the right textured knit

Texture isn't the only thing to consider when choosing a fabric. Weight, stretch, recovery and drape all influence how the finished garment will look and fit. Some textured knits behave quite differently from smooth jersey, so it's important to check your sewing pattern's fabric requirements before cutting.

Think about how the texture will sit across the finished garment, too. A raised pattern can add plenty of detail without needing additional trims or complicated design features.

If you're unsure about the feel, colour or weight, ordering a swatch is a useful way to assess the fabric before purchasing by the metre. Check individual product listings for composition, certification and care instructions.
