Polar fleece sand

The loveliest projects in fleece

Find your favourite colour and start creating your new project! Polar fleece is light, soft and stretchy - a great material that also insulates. That means it's perfect for lining a jacket or a nice, fluffy vest, for example.

This is how easy it is to make a fleece blanket

Choose the colour and cut the blanket to the exact size you want and voila: you have a new fleece blanket. It doesn't get any easier than this. And yes - it's good enough - you don't need to sew the edges; the material won't run.

If you want to give your rug a nice finish with a sewn edge, we recommend using jersey needles, which are specially developed for qualities like this. They penetrate the fabric easily without leaving holes.

Or how about making a reversible blanket or vest with two different colours of fleece - double up on warmth, softness and use.

Fleece dries quickly, is robust and durable and therefore very easy to bring along, for example as extra blankets in the caravan.

Practical information about polar fleece

The fabric is 145 cm wide and you buy it by the metre, so you get the length you need. It's easy to throw in the washing machine at 40° max and is quick-drying, but can also be tumble-dried at a low temperature if you need it faster.

Be aware that it shrinks about 3% in the wash, so it's a good idea to wash the fabric before starting your project.

Please remember to use jersey needles (item no. 46799 or 46028) when sewing in fleece.
