Plush Anti-Pill Double-Brushed Polyester Fleece

Designed for maximum warmth and everyday durability, this double-sided brushed fleece provides a lofty, cloud-soft feel on both faces. At 280 GSM (8.25 oz/sq. yd), it lands squarely in the sweet spot for mid-to-heavyweight fleece—delivering substantial insulation and windbreak without excessive, stiff bulk.

The specialized anti-pill finish prevents fiber clumping and surface fuzz, ensuring finished garments and home goods retain their clean, velvety look through repeated washing and rugged daily use. Because it is non-fraying, fast-drying, and easy to handle, it is an accessible, forgiving fabric for beginners and advanced sewists alike.

What to Make

The balanced weight and plush insulating texture make this an all-season favorite for outdoor gear, cozy essentials, and practical home items:

• Stitch: Standard straight stitch, slight zigzag (0.5 mm width), or a 3- to 4-thread serger

• Sewing Tip: Lengthen your stitch to 3.0–3.5 mm to glide smoothly over high-loft seams; reduce presser foot pressure slightly if your machine tends to push the fabric forward.

• Care Instructions: Machine wash cold on a normal or gentle cycle. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Do not use fabric softener, as it coats the polyester fibers and reduces breathability. Avoid high heat and iron only on low with a press cloth.
