Product Overview & Key Features
Wool rib knit fabric is produced with a classic 1×1 rib construction, creating a balanced surface with excellent elasticity and shape retention. Compared with plain knit fabrics, the rib structure provides greater stretch and a thicker, more insulating hand feel, making it suitable for fitted garments and thermal apparel. The wool-rich composition offers natural softness, warmth, and breathability, while a small percentage of spandex or nylon improves recovery and durability during repeated wear.
With a weight range of 175–200 gsm, this fabric is suitable for long-sleeve tops, base layers, lounge sets, and lightweight knitwear designed for cooler seasons. The circular knitted structure also ensures a smooth, comfortable feel against the skin, making it suitable for next-to-skin garments.
