One of the best fabrics to use to combat the cold is Fleece Fabric which can be used in a number of ways to help you stay warm. Our anti pill Fleece Fabric is a soft, medium weight material that can be used for making jumpers and tops that are ideal for layering in the colder weather. It can also be used to create linings inside jackets to keep you warm when you are outside as it has excellent insulating qualities and will retain its insulating properties even when wet. As well as using it to make tops, Fleece Fabric can be used to create hats and scarves for both adults and children along with gloves if you are feeling particularly creative. Here at Calico Laine we stock a large selection of fleece in both heavy weight and medium weight in a vast range of colours and patterns. The medium weight Fleece Fabrics would also be great for making children's pyjamas to keep them cosy and snug on those cold winter evenings. If you are looking to make home furnishings to keep you warm in the cold weather, our super soft Fleece Fabric is ideal for this as it particularly comfortable against the skin and will be lovely to cosy up to. This fabric can be used to make blankets for the bed, throws for the sofa and even to back quilts for cots of prams. This fleece can also be used to keep the furry friends in your home warm. Super soft fleece can be used to make dog/cat beds and blankets and with a number of printed fleece with paw prints or animal designs there is sure to be something to suit your pet.
