Novelty Fleece for Winter’s Last Chill

Winter Scene by cliff1066image by cliff1066

The weather is still quite cold where I live. I often go for a brisk evening walk, braving the cold, just to get a bit of fresh air after spending the entire day indoors.  My daughter usually tags along and so our walks require quite a bit of bundling to ensure we stay toasty as the wind whips by. Our fleece scarves, hats and mittens are must-haves for winter’s chill.

There is nothing like making a project with fleece, it’s so soft and warm. I can’t wait to get my hands on some and sport the finished project! Check out some of my favorite novelty fleece below, along with my project to-do list!

Ask Netfah: Which Fleece Is Best?


Dear Netfah,

Forgive me for asking such a silly question, but I received on of those ‘no sew’ fleece throws for Christmas and I am really excited about creating a few for friends and family this winter but I am somewhat of a novice and am finding it challenging to decide which kind of fleece is the right kind to use. I went on line to purchase some for my project and was overwhelmed at the selection. At any rate, I wanted to know what the difference between polar fleece, winter fleece, poly-fleece, and micro-fleece really is, and which is better suited for the throws? Your input would be really helpful in guiding my decision. Thank you. -Too Many Choices, Boise ID

Barack Obama Visits J&O Fabric !


They say every man is born with a purpose, and from an early age, the unseen hand of purpose was upon Barack Obama; molding and shaping him, guiding him into and throughout his political career until his purpose met with victory at the 2008 presidential elections. A victory meant for him at this place and this time in the evolution of mankind. A purpose no more and no less than the little girl who grows up to become a successful actress or the little boy who becomes a starving artist. That all three honored their respective purposes is the dream most wish and strive to fulfill.
