The characteristics of fleece and the difference from cashmere

In the impression of many people, fleece and cashmere are the same things. In fact, there are still differences between the two, which are explained below for you.

1. Different sources

Cashmere and fleece are grown on different kinds of sheep, fleece comes from sheep, cashmere comes from goats, and the best fleece in the world comes from Australia, where the price of superfine merino fleece is second only to cashmere. The best cashmere comes from Inner Mongolia, and 70% of the world's cashmere is produced in Inner Mongolia, and its quality is also superior to other countries.

Fleece

It is from sheep. Even though sheep fleece is very fine, it is called fleece in the industry and profession. fleece products have the characteristics of plump hand feeling, good warmth retention, and comfortable wearing.

Cashmere

It is a thin layer of fine fleece that grows on the outer epidermis of the goat and covers the root of the goat's coarse hair. When it is cold in winter, it grows to resist the wind and cold, and it falls off after the spring turns warm. It is a rare special animal fiber that naturally adapts to the climate.

2. Different collection and output

Fleece is easy to comb, cashmere is difficult to comb.

The diameter of cashmere is only 14-16 microns, which is much thinner than fleece, so when collecting cashmere, it is particularly meticulous. It is impossible to use scissors or razors directly like fleece. You can only use a special iron comb for baby goats to do "physiotherapy". ”, combing the hair, generally combing down the fine fleece that grows at the root of the goat’s coarse hair little by little.

Due to the scarcity of cashmere production, goats can only comb 50-80 grams of cashmere a year, and an average of five cashmere can make a cashmere sweater, which only accounts for 0.2% of the world's total animal fiber production. It is recognized as "soft gold".

The thickness of fleece spans a wide range, and its smallest diameter is 10 microns to 40 microns of coarse hair, so it is a bit "violent" when collecting fleece. There is manual or electric shearing, and the sheared fleece is like a bed of cotton fleece. It's like taking off a big leather jacket.

A sheep can shave several kilograms of fleece every year, and the fleece sheared by a sheep can weave several sweaters a year.

3. Fleece fabric features:

1） Hand feel

Pure fleece fabrics usually feel smooth to the touch, while long-haired fabrics are smooth to the touch along the fur, and tingling against the fur.

2） Color

The color of pure fleece fabrics is naturally soft, bright, and not out of date.

3） Elasticity

Tighten the thing with your hand, and then release it immediately to see the elasticity of the fabric. The pure fleece fabric has a high rebound rate and can quickly return to its original state.

4） Burning smell

Take a bunch of yarn and burn it with fire, the pure fleece fiber smells like burning hair.

5） Mobility

The hair of all animals is scaly under the microscope. If it is a long-haired fabric, just take a fleece and rub it a few times and it will move up or down as shown in the picture above.

How to Build a Fabric Stash without Breaking the Bank

Fabric can be expensive but it doesn’t have to be.  If you are not stuck on Name Brands or Specialty Fabric Store Exclusives here are some ways to build your fabric stash without costing an arm and a leg. I have made many beautiful quilts using various fabrics from various supplies. And I believe that the quality is not just in the fabric you use but also in your stitch work and seams sizes. If your seams are less than a ¼” they will not hold (personally I prefer to use a ½” seam allowance). If you are not securing your thread ends, your stitch work is going to come undone. So be sure to watch these things too.

Look for fabric at your local Thrift Store (Goodwill, Value Village, etc.)

I have found some wonderful fabrics in various sizes, notions, storage items and more at my local Thrift Stores. I have even found unfinished quilt tops that I have brought home and added a backing to then quilted. Remember that almost any size fabric remnant can be added to other remnants to make some wonderful scrappy quilts so save your own remnants after making a quilt, you may be able to use it later in another quilt.

Look for local Fabric Sales held by Quilting Guilds in Your Area.

We have 2 near me every summer.One charges $2 per pound for any fabric. The second one charges $2 per yard for any fabric. Both also sell batting, notions, books, machines, tools, and more.

Look for fabric on Facebook Marketplace, Nextdoor and other sites.

I sell extra fabric on Marketplace and Nextdoor. I have also found several ladies near me selling fabric that I have purchased. And some I have purchased with shipping to me.

Look for older 100% Cotton Sheets at your local Thrift Stores.

Back in the 1800’s and early 1900’s, Quilts were not show pieces. They were real functional blankets that were made from any and all fabrics they could get, usually used clothing. I think there is no reason why we cannot still do that instead of buying expensive fabrics. I have often used clothing, sheets, curtains, and other linens to make some wonderful, usable quilts. And there are some wonderful patterns you can use for quilts in bedsheets from the 1980’s and 1990’s. Note: I always wash anything from a Thrift Store before I use it.

Watch for Fabric Sales and Coupons for Joanns, Hobby Lobby and other Fabric & Craft Stores.

I know some quilters believe that the fabric from Joanns & Hobby Lobby is poor quality but I have not found any bad fabric from these stores.  We do not have a “Quilting” store close to me and because I’m handicapped, I will not drive an hour or more just to buy expensive fabric.  If I did that, I wouldn’t be able to afford to quilt.  I will also buy fabric from Walmart but I am more careful with my selection there as most fabric at Walmart is good but I have had one or two pieces that I felt were poorer quality.

Watch for Fabric Sales and Coupons for your Local Quilt Shop.

Quilt shops will also have occasional sales and/or coupons so if you prefer to shop at these locations take notice of when they have sales. Also ask if they ever give discounts to seniors or military.

Use New or Older Clothing.

I have made a lot of beautiful Memorial Quilts from a loved one’s clothing and T-Shirt quilts. I will use jeans, work shirts, uniforms, flannel, cotton, polyester and even some knits.  These can be a little trickier to work with because they are often stretchy fabrics but they will add a wonderful texture and visual variance to your quilts.  I recently found a pair of cotton pants with Mickey Mouse on them. I fell in love with them because they were so colorful, and I love bold colors. I found several other cotton fabrics that matched the colors in the Mickey pants and made a bold colorful quilt!

Rethink Your Backing Fabric

No one ever said your quilt backing had to be all New Cotton. You can use Fleece, Flannel or Bed Sheets as well. On many occasions I have found some wonderful fleece blankets on clearance and used these for my quilt backing.  Joanns right now has a great clearance sale on Flannel fabric. The best part about using some of these is that you can get then in a wider width so you may be able to make your backing in all one piece instead of 2 or more like when using regular cotton (unless you want your backing to be in various colors/patterns).  You can also use new or older cotton bed sheets for a quilt backing. Again, you can make your quilt backing in one solid piece with a sheet!

Check the Clearance Section for Your Favorite On-Line Stores

I have several on-lines stores that I love to shop from (e-Quilter, Missouri Star, etc.) but sometimes they can be expensive so I always check the clearance section of these stores. There are times I will find some beautiful fabrics on clearance so will purchase it then look for matching piece everywhere else so I can get the best deals. Also check for on-line sales from Joanns, Hobby Lobby and other on-lines stores that sell fabric and/or sheets.

Check Out Your Local Garage, Moving and Estate Sales

I have found some of the best deals at moving and estate sales because often the seller is willing to bargain with you. I once found an estate sale where a family was selling off all their mother’s quilting and sewing items because she had passed away and none of then sewed. There was more fabric and notions than I would have used in a year so I found lots of thread and items I purchased at a great price.

Note on Batting

I know that many quilters believe that the only batting you should use is expensive cotton batting. I disagree.  There are many forms of batting. Cotton/Poly blends, Polyester, and Fleece. I love cotton batting but cotton will break down quicker than polyester and I want my quilts to last a lifetime so for most of my quilts I actually use Polyester more often than not. I have taken the backing off many older quilts to do repair work and the cotton batting inside was all balled up and a real mess.

Now when I am doing the Quilt-as-you-Go method I use a Fleece batting. The fleece can be cut into smaller pieces, fabric added to the top and then sewn back together to make wonderful quilts. And the batting doesn’t get stuck in my machine.

Shop Around for your batting to find the best deals. Sometimes Joanns has a sale on batting but the best price I have found so far has been Walmart on-line.  I can buy a 96” x 9 yard Bolt of Poly Batting for just $30 on Walmart on-line. This bolt will make 4+ quilts depending on the size of the quilt and I will have lots of left overs for smaller projects like pillows, etc.  For me the best part is that because it’s 96” wide, I don’t have to piece together my batting before I can sandwich my quilt!

thinking about puppet tattoo parlors. A wall covered in so many different thread colors to choose from - swatches of different types of stitch for different textures / effects. modified handheld sewing machines for tattooing with multiple settings for the different stitches. individual needles + embroidery thread as stick n pokes...

Finally finished spoiler!

Made a lil plushie of one of the black cats from the OG Trigun using a pattern I found on etsy, and it came out pretty cute! Tho he did end up with a bit of a football head lmao

Here's the pattern if anyone else wants to try it (tho it might be a bit complicated for anyone who doesn't have at least basic sewing/plush making knowledge):

Giant manta ray of caution!!!!

Sometimes you just want to make a giant plushie to see if you can and the only fleece you have that’s big enough is neon orange and yellow

Featuring a mini manta ray made using @firesidetextiles space fabric for scale. And also me, for scale lol

Prototyping of the sewn isopuppy pattern is a go!

Test fabric is scraps of minky + an ink-stained shirt of Spouse's that I rescued from the trash last year. As any sewer would. This is the "sew it together, then tear it apart to make the real pattern" stage of the process.

[clippy]

oh.. apparently I finished Clockboy plush 4 years ago today so here's a side by side of how he looked right after I completed him vs how he looks right now.... This is what 4 years of being a white, homemade plush that gets cuddled every night looks like

here are some bonus WIP photos I took while putting him together:
