purchased a new fleece sweatshirt or looking to sew with fleece, you are probably wondering if it shrinks. Unfortunately, the answer is not as clear cut as I would like. Since fleece is a synthetic fabric, the quality and materials can vary. This affects weather fleece will shrink or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fleece made with PET is prone to much less shrinkage, while fleece made with other synthetic materials are prone to more shrinkage. In most cases, fleece is less prone to shrinkage than other materials such as cotton or linen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Heat is the main reason fleece shrinks.&nbsp; Washing fleece in hot water or drying it at a high temperature can cause fleece to shrink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to avoid shrinking fleece is to purchase PET or polyester fleece and avoid using high temperatures when washing or drying.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"cegg5-container cegg-offers_list\"><div class=\"cegg5-container cegg-offers_list\">\n    <div class=\"container px-0 mb-5 mt-1 cegg-list\" >\n                                \n<div class=\"cegg-list-card cegg-card  mb-3 \">\n\n    \n    <div class=\"row p-2 p-md-3\">\n\n        <div class=\"col-3 col-md-2 cegg-list-card-img-col\" style=\"max-width: 150px;\">\n\n                            <div class=\"position-relative\">\n\n                                        <div class=\"ratio ratio-1x1 \">\n                        <img class=\"object-fit-scale rounded\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41F-Sc5W20L._SS520_.jpg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"12PCS Solid Color Knitted Polar Fleece Fabric | 20&#039;&#039;x20&#039;&#039;

It can also be made with other synthetic fibers, but it\u2019s commonly made with polyester. These fibers are weaved together to make a light fabric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fibers are then brushed to add volume. This process is crucial to giving fleece that light and warm feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fabric is perfect during cold weather or trips outdoors. It\u2019s a breathable and quick-drying material that permits moisture to escape, making it suitable for sports apparel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This fabric is also a low-priced alternative for wool. They also make this material out of reusable plastic, making it sustainable and eco-friendly. Sometimes, fleece is blended with other natural fibers like wool hemp and rayon to increase the texture and make the fabric more vibrant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"gspb_heading-id-gsbp-ebbf40be-3dea\" class=\"gspb_heading gspb_heading-id-gsbp-ebbf40be-3dea \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_Polyester_Fleece_Shrink\"><\/span><span class=\"gspb_heading_highlight gspb-inview-active\">Does Polyester Fleece Shrink?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Polyester Fleece does not shrink. One of the main reasons polyester is blended with other materials is reducing shrinkage and increasing durability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With that said, polyester fleece will shrink when exposed to high temperatures. Polyester fleece will shrink when exposed to temperatures greater than 155 degrees. If fleece polyester is exposed to temperatures greater than 180 degrees, it can cause permanent damage to the fabric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To avoid shrinking polyester fleece, avoid drying on high heat or washing using hot water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"569\" src=\"https:\/\/quiltnco.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Fleece-Fabric-1024x569.jpg\" alt=\"Fleece Fabric\" class=\"wp-image-12776\" srcset=\"https:\/\/quiltnco.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Fleece-Fabric-1024x569.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/quiltnco.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Fleece-Fabric-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/quiltnco.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Fleece-Fabric-767x426.jpg 767w, https:\/\/quiltnco.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Fleece-Fabric-1536x853.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/quiltnco.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Fleece-Fabric-2048x1138.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/quiltnco.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Fleece-Fabric-270x150.jpg 270w, https:\/\/quiltnco.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Fleece-Fabric-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/quiltnco.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Fleece-Fabric-630x350.jpg 630w, https:\/\/quiltnco.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Fleece-Fabric-788x437.jpg 788w, https:\/\/quiltnco.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Fleece-Fabric.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"gspb_heading-id-gsbp-52fbf1f4-4553\" class=\"gspb_heading gspb_heading-id-gsbp-52fbf1f4-4553 \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_You_Need_To_Pre-Shrink_A_Fleece_Fabric\"><\/span><span class=\"gspb_heading_highlight gspb-inview-active\">Do You Need To Pre-Shrink A Fleece Fabric?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pre-shrinking fleece is not always necessary. Since fleece does not shrink very much, pre-shrinking will have very little impact on the fabric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are worried about shrinking, then you can pre-shrink your fleece as a precaution. This will give you a better idea of what the actual size of the fabric will look like. One benefit of pre-shrinking fleece is that it will give you a hint, on whether the fabric pills or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pills occur when small bulbs of fabric build up on the surface after you\u2019re fabric after washing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also a good idea to pre-shrink fleece if you will be using it to sew. This will allow you to adjust for any shrinkage and make sure that the item you are making always fits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"gspb_heading-id-gsbp-5ef34dbb-0e63\" class=\"gspb_heading gspb_heading-id-gsbp-5ef34dbb-0e63 \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Do_You_Keep_The_Fleece_From_Shrinking\"><\/span><span class=\"gspb_heading_highlight gspb-inview-active\">How Do You Keep The Fleece From Shrinking?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most synthetic fabrics like fleece may seem very delicate but they are easy to care for.

With natural fibers, there will be much more shrinkage than 100% natural fleece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fleece will shrink much more if you use hot water. The hot water will cause the fibers to contract causing the material to shrink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The hotter the water the more shrinkage the material will experience.

It has one shiny, smooth side; this material is exceptionally durable, but you need to be careful because it can get damaged by heat.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This variation eliminates moisture better than the cotton fleece.

This texture allows the material to be airy and exceedingly breathable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s soft because of the combination of cotton and hemp. Its long fibers make the material long-lasting and robust.

The hemp makes this variation extremely absorbent.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bamboo fleece is from cellulose fibers of plant-based fabrics.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hemp is a stiff fabric, but when you combine it with bamboo, it loses its smell and becomes soft and flexible.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because this fabric is stretchy, fleece can be made into a lot of stuff: from yoga pants, sweatpants, blankets, and many more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"gspb_heading-id-gsbp-873b7335-fd1b\" class=\"gspb_heading gspb_heading-id-gsbp-873b7335-fd1b \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Polar_Fleece\"><\/span><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>Polar Fleece<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No, this one is not from Polar bears. This fabric is 100% human-made. It\u2019s a cushioning fabric perfect for the lining of jackets and sweaters.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike the previous types, it\u2019s not moisture resistant, but it is still a warm fabric perfect for any cold weather. It is water repellent and dries instantly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Polar fleece tends to become rigid as you pick a thicker version of it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"gspb_heading-id-gsbp-36151f87-94c5\" class=\"gspb_heading gspb_heading-id-gsbp-36151f87-94c5 \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Blizzard_Fleece\"><\/span><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>Blizzard Fleece<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you see your bathrobes, think about blizzard fleece. It\u2019s a cheaper counterpart of polar type but still shares the same quality as the latter.

Often comes in white or ivory color to copy the color of sheep fleece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;What differentiates this from other fleeces is its thick, curly, and bunched fibers on one side. They usually refrain from brushing and raising the backside of this fabric; instead, they blend it with suede and leather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Thin and pure Faux Sherpas can stretch but not enough to make a successful fleece pattern. Besides having this as your jacket lining, you can also dye this and create a wooly pet bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"569\" src=\"https:\/\/quiltnco.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Microfiber-Fleece-1024x569.jpg\" alt=\"Microfiber Fleece\" class=\"wp-image-12788\" srcset=\"https:\/\/quiltnco.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Microfiber-Fleece-1024x569.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/quiltnco.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Microfiber-Fleece-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/quiltnco.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Microfiber-Fleece-767x426.jpg 767w, https:\/\/quiltnco.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Microfiber-Fleece-1536x853.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/quiltnco.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Microfiber-Fleece-2048x1138.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/quiltnco.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Microfiber-Fleece-270x150.jpg 270w, https:\/\/quiltnco.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Microfiber-Fleece-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/quiltnco.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Microfiber-Fleece-630x350.jpg 630w, https:\/\/quiltnco.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Microfiber-Fleece-788x437.jpg 788w, https:\/\/quiltnco.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Microfiber-Fleece.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"gspb_heading-id-gsbp-05fb63f1-869b\" class=\"gspb_heading gspb_heading-id-gsbp-05fb63f1-869b \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Microfiber_Fleece\"><\/span><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>Microfiber Fleece<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Compared to similar fleece, this variation is thinner. Given that it\u2019s fairly light and soft, loose knitted microfleece is a suitable textile for baby garments.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s probably one of the most flexible fleece types, which means the better movement for your sportswear, nightclothes, and baby cloth diapers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"gspb_heading-id-gsbp-98da5007-8f40\" class=\"gspb_heading gspb_heading-id-gsbp-98da5007-8f40 \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Double-sided_cuddle_fleece\"><\/span><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>Double-sided cuddle fleece<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Double-sided cuddle or Double-sided microfleece is a snug fabric that can keep you warm and dry. If your body is a sweaty type, you might consider looking for this type because it\u2019s moisture resistant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;This fabric is a trustworthy material for coat linings and activewear. This double-sided fleece is not bulky and has a deep pile, which makes it look lavishing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"gspb_heading-id-gsbp-95868564-84df\" class=\"gspb_heading gspb_heading-id-gsbp-95868564-84df \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Micro_chamois\"><\/span><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>Micro chamois<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultra-soft and lightweight are usually the defining characteristics of this fabric. It\u2019s a fabric that prevents static electricity and has a velour finish giving it a smooth texture and anti-pilling protection.&nbsp;This fleece is not bulky, making it perfect for making underwear, cloth diaper liners, and baby blankets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"gspb_heading-id-gsbp-41b5a302-a882\" class=\"gspb_heading gspb_heading-id-gsbp-41b5a302-a882 \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Anti-pill_fleece\"><\/span><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>Anti-pill fleece\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most fleece fabrics have little balls of thread on the surface or pills. These are usually the result of friction while washing or drying the fleece.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Anti-pill fabrics undergo treatment to be able to last longer without pilling than most fleece types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"gspb_heading-id-gsbp-57a5cdaa-af0a\" class=\"gspb_heading gspb_heading-id-gsbp-57a5cdaa-af0a \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Berber_fleece\"><\/span><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>Berber fleece<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This fabric might be in one of your favorite vests. This type has a bit of a rough texture, similar to sherpa fabric.&nbsp;One side of this fabric is flat knitted, and the other one has curly fiber. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although it is harder to sew than fleece, some people use it to make pillows and throws because it is warmer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"gspb_heading-id-gsbp-2795d0ff-2932\" class=\"gspb_heading gspb_heading-id-gsbp-2795d0ff-2932 \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Windbloc_Fleece\"><\/span><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>Windbloc Fleece<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Windbloc is another type of fleece used to make sports apparel.

A considerable part of this fabric is cotton-made, and the lesser portion is the stretchy fabric or Lycra Spandex.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Lycra spandex suits most performance apparel because of the comfortable stretch it gives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"gspb_heading-id-gsbp-b60f3166-2e5f\" class=\"gspb_heading gspb_heading-id-gsbp-b60f3166-2e5f \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"French_terry_fleece\"><\/span><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>French terry fleece<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike most fleece fabric, they don\u2019t brush the sides of French Terry.
