Merino Knitwear
Australian Merino knitwear is an evergreen wardrobe staple and synonymous with VIKTORIA & WOODS. Launching the brand in 2004 with a signature collection of modern basics, this super-soft yarn has earned its place as the hallmark of elevated knitwear. With its quality certification, natural softness, breathability, and self-cleaning properties, each piece of merino knitwear is made to hold a permanent place in your wardrobe.
The Appeal of Australian Merino Wool
Designed in the city of the brand’s inception, Melbourne, Australia, VIKTORIA & WOODS designer clothing is shaped by modern proportion, luxury fabrication, and a distinctly Australian point of view.
Celebrated worldwide for its supreme quality, Australian merino wool is nature's gift to contemporary dressing. It insulates when it's cool, breathes when it's warm and holds its shape with ease. The VIKTORIA & WOODS knitwear collection takes premium Australian merino wool and shapes it into pieces that are modern, versatile and made to last.
Soft and lightweight, each piece is crafted for longevity, and to hold an enduring place in your wardrobe. A fine sweater under a blazer, a chunky knit draped over denim or a standout coat to define your look..
Wardrobe Essentials of Texture and Tone, Designed in Melbourne, Australia
The VIKTORIA & WOODS merino knitwear collection blends premium Australian Merino wool in a variety of styles, colourways, and fits. Premium knit tops that layer with precision, ribbed dresses that bring structure, and heavyweight fabrics that carry presence on their own. Each design is pared back, yet intricately detailed, made from premium merino wool in muted tones and seasonal accents.
Why is Merino wool a preferred fibre for VIKTORIA & WOODS?
Merino wool has been central to VIKTORIA & WOODS since the brand’s beginning. We love it for its natural softness, breathability and refined look. It balances comfort with durability, fitting the body and draping beautifully while retaining structure. The versatility of women's merino knitwear makes it ideal for elevated layering, and its durability aligns with our commitment to seasonless, enduring designs.
How should I care for my Merino knitwear?
Merino knitwear requires gentle care to ensure it wears beautifully over time. We recommend gently handwashing or using a delicate wool cycle with cool water and gentle, wool-specific detergent. Drying flat to maintain shape. Avoiding hanging pieces, as this can stretch fibres, particularly in heavier knits, and store folded, away from direct sunlight.
With the right care, merino knitwear maintains its softness, resilience and finish, allowing them to remain a wardrobe staple for years to come. Always check the care instructions on each garment for specialised instructions.
How do I style Merino wool jumpers?
Merino knitwear jumpers offer versatility across settings. Worn with tailored trousers, they add ease to structured dressing, while pairing them with denim highlights their casual adaptability. Layer under blazers or coats for warmth without bulk, or wear one alone to showcase the premium silhouette. Their tactile softness and elegant drape make them both comfortable and polished, whether you’re dressing for work, travel or stepping into an off-duty weekend.
