What Is the Difference Between Micro Polar Fleece and Regular Polar Fleece?
Both micro polar fleece and traditional polar fleece belong to the family of soft, insulating fleece fabrics. The main differences are generally found in the surface texture, thickness and weight.
Micro Polar Fleece: Typically has a finer, shorter brushed surface with a smooth and soft feel. It is often selected for comfortable clothing, layering garments and accessories that benefit from flexibility.
Regular Polar Fleece: May feature a thicker, loftier brushed surface depending on its construction and weight. Heavier varieties are frequently used for warm jackets, blankets and winter garments.
Important: Not all micro polar fleece fabrics are extremely lightweight. Our version weighs 250 gsm, giving it a substantial medium-weight feel while retaining the characteristic softness of micro polar fleece.
Sewing Tips for Micro Polar Fleece
Micro polar fleece is relatively easy to handle, making it suitable for many beginner and intermediate sewing projects. Its stretch and brushed surface benefit from a few simple sewing techniques.
- Needle: Start with a ballpoint or stretch sewing machine needle, generally size 75/11 or 80/12 depending on the project.
- Thread: Use good-quality all-purpose polyester sewing thread.
- Stitch: A narrow zigzag stitch or suitable stretch stitch can help accommodate the fabric's flexibility.
- Seam Finishing: Polyester fleece generally does not fray, so finishing raw edges is often optional. A serger can provide a neat, professional finish.
- Cutting: Use sharp fabric scissors or a rotary cutter to achieve clean edges.
- Fabric Direction: Keep the fleece nap and stretch direction consistent when laying out your pattern pieces.
- Pressing: Avoid direct high heat. Polyester fleece is heat-sensitive and excessive heat can flatten or damage its brushed surface.
- Pattern Selection: Choose sewing patterns compatible with the fabric's stretch direction and approximate stretch percentage.
Care Instructions
Machine wash in cold water with similar colours using a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Hang to dry or tumble dry on low heat when appropriate. Avoid high temperatures, which can damage polyester fibres and affect the fleece texture.
Do not iron directly on the brushed fleece surface. If pressing is necessary, use very low heat and a protective pressing cloth.
We recommend pre-washing your fabric using the same washing method you plan to use for your finished garment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is micro polar fleece warm enough for winter?
Yes. Micro polar fleece helps retain body heat by trapping air within its brushed fibres. At 250 gsm, this fabric makes a comfortable warm layer for sweaters, fleece jackets, vests and winter accessories. For very cold or windy conditions, it can be combined with a protective outer layer.
Is this micro polar fleece lightweight or medium-weight?
Our micro polar fleece weighs 250 gsm, which places it in a medium-weight fleece category. It offers more substance than many lightweight microfleece fabrics while maintaining a soft, flexible feel.
Does this micro polar fleece stretch?
Yes. This fabric has approximately 40% one-way stretch. It stretches primarily in one direction, making it suitable for sewing patterns designed for compatible stretch fabrics. It should not be treated as a four-way stretch fabric.
Can I use micro polar fleece for hoodies and jackets?
Absolutely. This soft polyester fleece is an excellent option for comfortable hoodies, pullovers, casual jackets, zip-up sweaters and vests. Its medium weight provides warmth while remaining flexible.
Is micro polar fleece suitable for blankets?
Yes. Its soft brushed texture, warmth and generous 160 cm width make it a great choice for fleece blankets, throws and cozy home accessories.
Is micro polar fleece easy for beginners to sew?
Yes. Micro polar fleece is generally beginner-friendly because its cut edges do not unravel like many woven fabrics. However, its stretch and soft surface require appropriate needles, stitches and careful handling.
Does micro polar fleece fray when cut?
No. Polyester fleece generally does not fray, which means raw edges can often be left unfinished depending on the project. Finishing seams can still improve the appearance and durability of your handmade garment.
Is micro polar fleece breathable?
Polyester fleece allows some air and moisture vapour to pass through its knitted construction, making it comfortable for many layering applications. Actual breathability depends on the fabric's density, construction and the layers worn with it.
Can micro polar fleece be used for baby and children's sewing projects?
It can be used for suitable children's clothing, blankets and accessories when the project is designed for this type of fabric. For infant sleepwear, sleep sacks or other safety-regulated products, always follow the applicable fabric and garment safety requirements.
Does micro polar fleece shrink?
Polyester fleece generally has less shrinkage than many natural-fibre fabrics. However, high washing or drying temperatures may affect its appearance, dimensions or texture. We recommend washing at low temperatures and avoiding excessive heat.
Due to variations in monitor and mobile device settings, actual fabric colours may differ slightly from what you see on your screen.
