Would this fleece work well for a lightweight bathrobe? About 8 years ago, I made a robe out of a lightweight fleece that I just love...and I think they called it Blanket Fleece at the time. However, I can no longer find that fabric. Thanks!

This is actually blizzard fleece, it sounds like you are are looking for microfleece. It is lightweight and has a nice drape to it and the outer textured is almost pebbled, as opposed to 'felted' llike blizzard fleece.

This is not a summer comforter. I would agree with Kathleen Diehl & Patricia Fairchild, it's a spring, fall, winter (depending where you live) medium weight comforter. Thought for you, have you thought of just buying a light weight blanket and a pretty sheet to put on top for something lightweight? You might also try doing a Amazon search for "quilted bedspread" or for "bedspread coverlet". Coverlet being the key word. Or do a search for "Matelasse coverlet". Also if you do a search for "quilts", you will find most of them are lightweight. Comforters tend to be heavier and made more for cold weather months and something to snuggle in to keep warm. Good luck with your search. This is not a summer comforter. I would agree with Kathleen Diehl & Patricia Fairchild, it's a spring, fall, winter (depending where you live) medium weight comforter.

I am not sure about fleeces and polyesters. Sorry. I have only used them on other material types.

I am so sorry, i just saw this. I have not really worn it under anything, but my guess is; not a good idea unless rather loose. The wrap itself is amazingly compact and efficient; but does add girth. I may be impractical for other reasons including the cold/heat is only effective for a while, then you'll just have a bulky wrap not really doing anything unless you swap the packs.

Waged one once became a dog blanket after that. I wait till drycleanerhas special I would get a fleecy blanket for kids. These blankets are not cheap nor cheap to upkeep. D

i have a medium weight comforter and for me i find it too warm for the spring and fall. try a lightr wieght that would probably work out best.

I used it on fleece blankets that are placed on my dog's beds. It works well and doesn't seem to damage them, but I haven't tried it on fleece clothing.

I have cut fleece on this and it works fine. You would have to fold the fabric for that length and with the width it would be tricky.

It's not what I would think of as micro-fleece, however I'm not an expert. To me it's "slippery" due to the sheen of the fabric, and it is the exact same on both sides....It's not what I would say is a warm feeling but acceptable.

I used this to make a fleece blanket, but it does have some stretch to it. The material is very similar to that of my fleece pajama pants so I would think that is is suitable to use for lounge wear. I hope this helps!

Feels like a cotton velour. Very soft and a little bit fuzzy, but not as thick and fuzzy as fleece. It's very lightweight and washes very easily. Comes out the washer virtually dry, just hang it over a door for a few minutes. No need to tumble dry.

So , the poncho liner is the name , but in the field we know that it is basically a very light compactable blanket , I can say that i have never and i have never seen anyone acutally use this with their poncho unless it was as a sleeping back , so i would say this is not really to be used as a " poncho liner " if you are wearing your poncho as wet weather gear . Its just a really good feild blanket or blanket in general. super lightweight and compacts really good .

I use it year round- its a light cotton. I live in CT and keep my house at 67 degrees at night. I make sure my baby always wears long sleeves and pants to bed- this adds a touch of warmth. My feeling is fleece is too warm since it doesn't breathe but I think many use fleece in winter. I prefer a light "blanket" type covering so baby doesn't overheat.

We have not tried to wash at of this date. I think it will be washed in soft cycle when we change to our winter Coverlet. It is synthetic and I see no reason it can not be washed. Based on price and cost to send to cleaners, you could buy one somewhat often. We will absolutely try the home wash method. I do think my wife will not let our housekeeper do the washing.

I would compare it to a very soft fleece. It washes well and remains just as soft without 'pilling'.

I bought this 2 years ago and found it to be well constructed and attractive, though I always kept is in a duvet cover. The corners have the strap for ties, which I also love to help keep the cover in place. Alas, it is just too warm for us. We live in Maryland and keep our furnace at 66 degrees at night, but would still wake up too warm so I gave it to a friend. But the weight is fabulous- light weight, warm, well made. I would love to find another just like it that is not quite as warm. I started a few years ago with down- too warm- hoped this light weight alternative would work, but did not.

This has been the most wonderful robe I have ever owned. I am 84 and almost live in it. It would be great for 60 degree weather.
