Fleece Types and Debates

Polar fleece in general is just ok, you still have allot of hassle regarding the hay and hair on the fleece. If used in a non-hay area it can be a great help for those trying to keep the hair down in the homestead as it does trap the hair better then others. Hay is a pain in the rear on it if you ask me unless you use a brush before laundering.

Anti-pill is the "all occasion" so to speak. Easy on the release of hair and hay, vacuum or brushing out, softer on feet, doesn't pill up so less chance of nails being caught up in the pilling as well. Over all and general use, best used if you don't know what you are doing.

Waffle fleece falls under the anti-pill fleece, if you can afford it.

Heavy polar fleece, not a great idea for full cage use. Matter of fact I highly limit it's use in my sewing to smaller area/items. Hardest to remove hay from, impossible to remove all hair from.

These are the most popular ones. But there's also warning when choosing the material, is it "winterized" in any way. What is the "weight" (thickness) for the goal. And last but not least, beware what everyone tells you on the "types" of fleece and purchasing it, if you are after what someone else has you also need to know the "brand". Two brands will identify the same fleece as different types, yet they are the same, and vice versa. Don't say I didn't warn you!

More and better fleeces to come.
