Fleece refers to a soft, bulky, deep-piled knitted or woven fabric. It is an all-wool or synthetic knit fabric with a deep soft pile. It provides good insulation without the too much
weight or bulk. Fleece is also the term for the complete shaving of a sheep's wool.
Since the domestication of sheep, Natural Fleece became an organic, marvelously soft, amazingly resilient fabric that has been used to make textiles. Fleece is sheared humanely from specially-fed lambs and then spun into textiles.
Fleece fabric is all-natural making it particularly appropriate for Bedding, winter clothing, baby garments, and outerwear. In addition to soft cotton, fleece is one of the best fabrics to use against delicate skin. Those with allergies to synthetic fabrics will appreciate fleece's hypo-allergic, organic fibers.
Natural Fleece is an organic fabric, hence care must be taken during washing. It should be hand wash and air-dried. Machine Drying can shrink the garment down to 70\% of its original size.
A more economical substitute to Natural Fleece is the
polyester-based Polar Fleece which is also widely available and shares many of the benefits of organic fleece.
Due to Fleece's fantastic ability as an insulator, it is not recommended for use in summer garments. However, Fleece is a good fabric material for cold seasons (fall and winter). It is also great for use in crafting like quilting and is suitable for all types of imaginative sewing projects. It is perfect for outerwear, shirts, socks, mittens/gloves, caps, winter jackets and other winter items.
