Merino Wool Rib Fabric

Merino Wool Rib Fabric is a knitted ribbed fabric made from fine merino wool fibers, featuring a distinctive vertical rib structure.
This construction provides enhanced stretch and recovery while maintaining the natural softness, breathability, and thermal performance of merino wool.

It is commonly used for garments that require flexibility, shape retention, and comfort, especially in areas such as cuffs, collars, waistbands, and fitted apparel.
