Fleece, whether made from wool or synthetic, is a popular material used in many pieces of clothing or household items. Natural fleece is usually made from the woolen coat of sheep, while synthetic fleeces are made through chemical processes. Common uses of fleece for clothing are for sweaters, jackets, and hats.  In the household it can be used for fleece throws, rugs, and carpets.

Fleece is an ideal fabric because of its durability and versatility. The fabric is warm in itself and is suitable for winter clothing because of its ability to insulate warmth. It is also ideal for sports clothing because of its hydrophobic characteristics, which means it retains less water and is breathable. Items made from fleece are also soft and repels dust and other potential, something that makes it perfect for rugs and carpets.
