Sweatshirt Fleece (Black)

Description

Sweatshirt fleece, also known as sweatshirt fabric or sweatshirt knit, is a type of fabric commonly used in the production of sweatshirts, hoodies, and other cozy apparel. It is a medium-weight knit fabric that offers a combination of warmth, comfort, and softness.

Sweatshirt fleece is typically made from a blend of cotton and synthetic fibers, such as polyester. This composition provides a balance of natural breathability and durability. The fabric is knitted in a way that creates loops on one side and a smooth surface on the other. The looped side, often called the fleece side or brushed side, is soft and fuzzy, offering a cozy feel against the skin. The smooth side, known as the jersey side, is less textured and is typically used as the outer surface of the garment.

One of the notable characteristics of sweatshirt fleece is its warmth and insulation. The looped texture on the fleece side helps to trap air, which aids in retaining body heat, making it suitable for colder weather. Despite its warmth, sweatshirt fleece is not overly heavy, allowing for comfortable wear and ease of movement.
