Fleece fabric by the yard is a plush, insulating textile that keeps you warm while remaining lightweight and comfortable. Usually weighing between 100gsm and 350gsm, fleece can be 100% polyester, cotton–poly blends, or cotton fleece, offering a soft inner layer, smooth outer face, and gentle stretch for ease of movement. The brushed finish raises fibers on one or both sides to enhance insulation while keeping breathability, making fleece a practical choice for seasonal apparel and cozy home items.
