For the Love of Fleece
Here at J&O Fabrics we get lots of new fabric shipments in daily. As a fabric junkie, I never cease to almost implode with excitement over new arrivals! Recently we got quite a large shipment of fleece into the store. The massive 100+ yard rolls where all leaning where ever there was room before being placed on the rack. As I walked around them, trying to get here or there, I could not help but indulge myself in a guilty pleasure of mine. Touching the brand new fleece! I felt a bit like Mr. Whipple squeezing his toilet paper. (if you even remember that) My goodness it does feel soft and luscious when its brand new.
It made me think, how fleece never does feel quite the same after its been washed and worn. Fleece is just not as soft as it is when it is brand new.
At least not to me! Don’t get me wrong…it is still my first choice when it comes to cuddling up on the couch and getting all cozy with my cat. But I wondered, exactly what IS the realistic life of fleece. I mean how long does it stay so divinely soft? We asked some of our fellow tweets and the answer varied from forever to a few years. Depending upon the quality of the fleece you buy.
No matter what, I still like it fresh, new and luscious So I am sending that
old fleece blanket into the car for backup and starting a new one.
I am going to treat myself to a new fleece blanket, and I am going to do it more often. Maybe you should consider doing this to treat yourself!
