Description
Fleece weighs little and warms a lot — which is why it sits in jackets, blankets and children's winter clothes. At 140 cm wide its weight per square metre is 230 g/m². It is made from 100 % polyester.
Dark Blue reads deep or fresh depending on the fabric. On smooth wovens differently than on soft jersey. Pins easily disappear in the pile. Fabric clips on the seam allowance hold the layers more securely. Fabric by the metre is cut in one piece; your ordered length arrives as a single cut. If unsure, order a little more — a later order may come from a different batch.
What Fleece in Dark Blue is suitable for
- Overalls and sleeping bags for children, as the fabric is warm and washable at 30 degrees.
- Linings for jackets, because fleece adds warmth without adding weight.
- Dog coats and dog blankets, as fleece warms and dries quickly.

Frequently asked questions
How do I wash the fabric?
At 30 degrees, ideally turned inside out and without fabric softener so the pile stays fluffy. Do not tumble dry; let it dry hanging or flat in the air. Bleach is off limits according to the care label.
May I iron the fabric?
No, not according to the care label. Heat flattens the pile and can make polyester shiny. Instead, smooth the seams with your fingers or topstitch them closely so they lie flat.
Do I need to finish the edges?
Not necessarily. Fleece does not fray, so raw edges stay clean. For a tidy inside or for garments that see heavy use, an overlock seam or a zigzag stitch on the seam allowance is still worthwhile.
Which needle do I take?
A jersey or stretch needle with a rounded point slips between the loops instead of piercing them. Combine it with a slight zigzag or overlock stitch so the seam does not break when the fabric moves.
