Description
Fleece weighs little and warms a lot — which is why it sits in jackets, blankets and children's winter clothes. At 145 cm wide its weight per square metre is 195 g/m². It is made from 100 % polyester.
Terracotta stands warm and clear without demanding the attention a pure red does. 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 Terracotta is suitable for
- Hats, scarves and headbands, because small pieces need no edge finishing.
- 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.

Frequently asked questions
How do I wash the fabric?
At 30 degrees on a gentle cycle, 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.
How do I stop the layers from shifting?
Use fabric clips instead of pins and a walking foot that feeds both layers evenly. Slightly less presser foot pressure and a longer stitch also help, so the soft pile does not bunch up.
What do I do with leftovers?
Cuddly toys, headbands, mittens, hot water bottle covers or doll's clothes. Because fleece does not fray, small pieces are sewn quickly and need no edge finishing. Small scraps also make good appliqués.
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.
