Fleece Fabric

What is Fleece Fabric?

Fleece, often reminiscent of fluffy sheep's wool, is predominantly crafted from polyester or polycotton blends in contemporary textile production. This composition grants fleece its hallmark characteristics: a soft texture, light weight, and skin-friendly nature. Its standout feature, however, is its exceptional insulating properties, providing a warm and snug experience.

Varieties and Advantages

Fleece is available in several variants, each with distinct benefits:

• Anti-Pill Fleece: Resistant to bobbles, ensuring a smooth finish.
• Teddy Fleece: Notably soft and plush, perfect for cosy garments.
• Microfleece: Lightweight and finely woven, offering gentle warmth.

Key Qualities:

• Durability: Withstands regular use and washing.
• Crease-Resistance: Maintains a neat appearance.
• Water-Resistance: Offers some protection against moisture.
• Fast-Drying: Efficient in shedding water.
• Anti-Bobble: Particularly when made from polyester, it resists forming small balls of fibre.
• No Fraying: Easy to handle and ideal for crafting.

Care Instructions

To maintain its softness, fleece should be washed inside-out at low temperatures or on a gentle cycle. Its quick-drying nature means a brief spin cycle is often sufficient, also aiding in preventing bobble formation.
