Sweatshirt fleece source- 100% cotton?  

post #1 of 8
Thread Starter 
I am looking for 100% cotton sweatshirt fleece. I thought it would be easy to find. Not so. Anyone know of where to find it?

I was looking for the same thing and the closest thing I found was 75% Cotton/25%Polyester on www.fabric.com Limited colors though.

I'd love to know too. Wazoodle.com has terry knit that's 100% cotton (watch which ones, some are some aren't) that I'm going to use for babe's 'sweatshirt' They had a pretty baby blue that I just ordered but it was sold out before they could process it I'll order again when they get some in.

I looked for some last year and had no luck. I did find a cotton/hemp blend though, would that work?

I think cotton/hemp would work alright. Ds is very sensitive to fabrics and he wants one of those footed sleepers. The kind that only come in poly fleece.
My mom said she had some that seemed like it was all cotton when she burned a bit of it and will make him a sleeper from that, but I'd like more so I can make him some sweatpants and a sweatshirt. Basic kid stuff.
Actually the hemp might be a good idea for the pants--he is a boy after all!
I found bamboo fleece that looks luscious, but I'm not sure about spending $13/yd for a kids sweat outfit, yk?

You could also buy organic cotton fleece - it is super soft. It takes dyes really well too. I like to buy mine from the allnaturalmama yahoo group, it is more like $7/yard.

Kari_mom, I can't find that group. I tried searching and typing in the group address directly, but I just get an error message. Could you give me the address?

I'm sorry, it is allnaturalfabrics, not allnaturalmama. My apologies.
