Micro Polar Fleece vs Regular Polar Fleece

Both fabrics are made from polyester and provide excellent insulation, but they are designed for different uses.

• Weight: Micro polar fleece is lighter and less bulky than standard polar fleece.
• Softness: Micro fleece has an exceptionally soft hand and feels smooth against the skin.
• Breathability: The lighter construction allows better airflow while still trapping body heat.
• Best Uses: Micro polar fleece is perfect for clothing, whereas heavier polar fleece is often preferred for blankets and outerwear requiring additional insulation.

Care Instructions

Machine wash cold. Tumble dry on low heat. Do not bleach. We recommend pre-washing your fabric before sewing using the same washing method you plan for your finished project.
