Polar Fleece Fabric
Polar Fleece Fabric: Warm and Durable Quality
Polar fleece fabric is a soft, brushed polyester textile that keeps its shape and finish wash after wash. This anti-pilling fleece is noticeably heavier and denser than the cheap fleece you find in bargain bins, which means it lasts longer and stays looking new. At Rijs Textiles you buy this fleece by the metre in a wide range of colours, with wholesale pricing for larger orders. Sewists use it for winter clothing, home textiles and soft toys, thanks to its warmth and easy handling on a domestic sewing machine.
Fabric properties
Our polar fleece is 100% polyester with a width of 150 cm and a weight of 280 grams per square metre, a fairly heavy grammage that gives it real insulating power. It stretches in width only, so it behaves predictably when you cut and sew it. The anti-pilling finish means the surface stays smooth instead of forming those little bobbles you get with lower-grade fleece after a few washes.
What you can make with it
The weight and softness of this fleece suit a broad range of projects:
- Jackets, hoodies and sweaters for cold weather
- Scarves, hats and gloves
- Blankets, cushions and bedding
- Stuffed animals and other soft toys
If you want a fabric with a raised, textured pile for blankets or loungewear, our teddy fleece doubleface fabric is worth a look. For playful kidswear or accessories, the minky fleece stripes offer a patterned alternative to the plain colourways here.
Ordering by the metre and buying in bulk
You order this polar fleece fabric by the metre, cut to the length you need. From 6 metres you get wholesale pricing, and it's also available on rolls of 50 metres for businesses or larger projects. Not sure a colour matches your project? Order a fabric swatch for 0.50 euro before committing to a full length.
Why choose this fleece
This polar fleece fabric works for particular hobbyists and businesses alike. The range of colours is wide, prices are competitive, and everything ships from our warehouse in Tilburg. Combined with the anti-pilling quality and 280 gram weight, it's a solid pick when you need a fleece that holds up over time rather than one that pills after a single wash. Browse the collection and pick your colours.
What is polar fleece fabric made of?
Our polar fleece is 100% polyester, brushed on both sides for a soft, warm handle. It has an anti-pilling finish, so the surface stays smooth rather than developing bobbles after washing.
How heavy is this polar fleece fabric?
It weighs 280 grams per square metre, which is a heavier grammage than most standard fleece. That extra weight gives better warmth and a fabric that keeps its shape over time.
Does polar fleece fabric stretch?
Yes, it stretches in width, but not lengthwise. This makes it easy to cut and sew without the fabric distorting on the bias.
What is the width of the fabric?
The fabric is 150 cm wide, which is standard for most garment and home textile patterns.
Can I order a small sample first?
Yes, you can order a fabric swatch for 0.50 euro to check the colour and quality before ordering the full length.
Is there a minimum order for wholesale pricing?
Wholesale pricing applies from 6 metres. The fabric is also available on full rolls of 50 metres for larger projects or business use.
