The Cotton Fleece has a soft short pile and is a much thinner fabric than regular fleece and is breathable. This is a soft, light-weight fleece that is a perfect weight for infant clothing or Pajamas where you do not want it to be too bulky, but you want the warmth and coziness of a fleece. Machine wash the fleece in cold water on a gentle cycle with like colors. Use mild laundry detergent to keep the nape smooth. Machine-dry your fleece at a low temperature, or hang it up to air-dry.Fabric Empire
