- Is this fleece warm enough for a blanket?
- Cotton fleece is breathable but less insulating than polyester fleece. A 1.5-yard cut makes a small throw or baby blanket at best, not a full-size one.
- Can I wash this cotton fleece?
- Yes, cotton fleece is machine washable. Wash cold and tumble low to limit shrinkage and pilling, and expect some softening over time.
- How much fabric do I get?
- You get one pre-cut piece 1.5 yards long and 60 inches wide. That is roughly enough for a child's garment, a tote, or a small throw.
- Does the stripe run along the length or the width?
- Stripe direction depends on the cut, so check the stripe orientation before laying out pattern pieces. Running stripes the wrong way can waste fabric on a 1.5-yard cut.
- Is cotton fleece good for clothing?
- It works for casual tops, hoodies and loungewear because it is soft and breathable. It has less stretch and loft than polyester fleece, so choose patterns designed for woven or low-stretch fabrics.
- How does it compare with polyester fleece?
- Cotton fleece breathes better and feels more natural against skin. Polyester fleece is warmer, lighter and cheaper, but it pills and holds odor more.
