Fleece blankets

On cold autumn and winter evenings, everyone wants to feel the warmth. Having covered himself with a blanket in front of the TV, a person feels cozy and comfortable. He completely relaxes and rests. Soft fleece blankets are the best solution for warmth and relaxation.

Fleece is used to create lovely blankets for both children and adults.

Fleece products weighing more than 400 grams per square meter are the heaviest. The average weight of a product is from 300 to 380 grams for every 90 centimeters, and fabrics weighing up to 240 grams are referred to as light fabric.

All categories have their own special characteristics:

• Heavy fleece material is used to make bedspreads that are used to cover the bed during the cooler season.
• Medium weight fabric has excellent heat-saving properties and is ideal for sewing blankets and other products from this textile.
• A lightweight product is most often purchased for small children or as a decorative textile decoration.
