I keep seeing this thread and figured this would be the perfect place to post this. My non-guinea pig friends did not understand my excitement for the holiday sale at Joanns. I bought all this fleece for under $90!!! I too, have become addicted to fleece

This thread is making me even more anxious to wait for my online fleece to arrive from Joann's! I got
2 yards plain brown fleece ( for inside cuddle cups and cuddle sacks)
2 yards brown w/ white polka dots ( for a cage liner)
2 yards wiener dogs on blue back ground flannel ( for outside cuddle cups etc)
For a total of 16$ I got free shipping and outrageously cheap prices for black Friday (Thursday) hahaha I cant wait it should be here around thursday
Neat! You have some fleeces in there I haven't seen at my joanns store. Love the mustache fleece! What are you making with all these fun stuff?
I'm so jealous of you all having a place like Joanns to get your fleece at. I had to have a look even though they don't ship to the UK and it just made me so desperate to find a similar UK shop that I'm hunting all over the place for one
My girls are in a pet store (plenty big enough, before you worry!) cage, so even though they have fleece in, getting it to stay in place is a little trickier. I was thinking about making pads similar to the ones containing Uhaul that I see on here so as they're a better fit for my cage.
Any tips on making/washing them?
@Traysea that's so lovely of you!
I found a huge fabric warehouse not too far from where I live, so I'm sure they'll have patterned fleece. The stuff my girls are on at the minute is lovely but it's just plain. I also think though it is the 100% polyester fleece which I read on here was the best fleece to buy, it's sort of...fluffy. It's got some fluff to it, which means hay is even more prone to sticking in, so I'd definitely prefer the flat stuff (which a lot of my pyjamas are made out of, hehe.)
That sounds simple enough, I'm pretty handy with a needle since my nan taught me how to make cushions etc when I was younger, shouldn't be too different from that I don't think?
Sorry if I've just completely missed it, but do you also pre wash your uhaul? It's quarter to one in the morning here so I'm pretty drowsy hehe.
I'll have to find the UK equivalent of uhaul because the furniture pads I've found here are all way too small and it would take like 4 to fill my cage!

Sounds like you got a way better deal than I saw. I only saw fleece on Joann's site for $3/yd (only solids) or for $3.90 and up.
I did get 2 yards for my piggie cage (to make potty pads) and
2 yards for my son's rat cage.
I think that totalled about $17.

The trick is to purchase fleece during sales and use your coupons with your purchases.
They almost always have fleece sales. So keep an eye out on them.
I bought fleece on Thursday. They were $2.99 for solid and pattern blizzard. The prices went up on Black Friday!
