Where to buy fleece by the meter?

Lisajazz · Jun 26, 2010

It needs to measure 150cm across and be by the meter.

I am going to get the all in ones made up so needs to not be cheap fleece that will come apart.

I have found on ebay for Â£4.80 a meter but I need 12 meters.

Anyone?

I have bought fleece from this seller and it is really good quality but it's a bit more money

However, I have been looking at this website as it is a better price. They do wholesale too so should be able to do large amounts. I am wondering if this is where Pollie gets her fleece as they have a couple of the patterned fleece she uses.

Do you have a fabric shop in Cardiff? We have one in Leicester that I think is a discounted place. I think they also have a stall on the market.

Are you fussed about design? Found this; http://www.findtheneedle.co.uk/products/2261586-lemon-polka-print-micro-fleece-4015-metre-roll41.asp - Â£26.25 for 15m roll... I quite like it!

Found this also... http://www.its-sales.co.uk/acatalog/Plain_Fleece_Fabric.html - Â£2.25 per metre I think

Ignore that last one, I think it is trade only

Sorry!

EDIT; Actually they might all be trade - I'm cr*p, sorry Lisa

Leicester one is open to the public though, I used to go there years ago

The thick and nice fleeces I have comes from a local fabric shop. I think that if you're gonna spend a lot of money sewing inco pads to it you should pick a fleece you really like.

PM Pollie and ask if she can maybe buy for you next time she buys fleece. I think she gets hers from the abakhan wholesalers.

I think all fleece I've bought by the yard has been 150 cm wide.
