Product Information
93% Merino Wool Waffle Knit Fabric for Performance Apparel
This 93% Merino Wool 7% Nylon Waffle Knit Fabric is developed for premium outdoor and performance apparel where softness, breathability, and durability are equally important.
With a high Merino wool content of 93%, the fabric retains the natural advantages of fine Merino wool, including excellent temperature regulation, moisture management, softness, and next-to-skin comfort. The addition of 7% Nylon improves fabric strength and abrasion resistance, helping the material perform better in garments designed for repeated outdoor use.
The waffle knit construction creates a textured surface that improves air circulation and gives the fabric a more dimensional hand feel. This structure makes it particularly suitable for garments that need to balance warmth, breathability, and lightweight comfort.
At 160 GSM, the fabric is light enough for active layering while still providing a more substantial feel than conventional lightweight jersey fabrics. It works especially well for base layers, thermal tops, outdoor underwear, hiking shirts and lightweight midlayers.
Merino wool naturally helps regulate body temperature in changing conditions and can absorb moisture vapor before it becomes liquid sweat. This makes the fabric suitable for activewear used across a wide range of outdoor environments.
The nylon component also helps improve shape retention and durability without significantly compromising the soft, natural feel of Merino wool.
For brands and apparel developers, we support custom fabric development including fiber composition, GSM, width, color, finishing and hand feel. OEM and ODM garment manufacturing services are also available for brands looking to develop complete Merino wool apparel collections.
