Our Stretch 90.5 Polyester 9.5 Spandex Striped Brushed Keep Warm Fabric is designed for ultimate comfort and warmth, with a focus on softness. The star feature is its brushed fleece layer—a plush, velvety surface created by gently brushing the fabric post-knitting, which traps heat more effectively than standard knitted fabrics while feeling luxuriously soft against the skin. The 9.5% spandex delivers smooth, consistent stretch (ideal for garments that need to move with the body), while the 90.5% polyester ensures durability and resistance to fading. The classic striped pattern adds versatility, making it suitable for both apparel and home textiles, and the fabric is lightweight enough for layering but warm enough for standalone winter use.
The fabric’s 90.5% polyester/9.5% spandex blend is balanced for both stretch and stability: the polyester is a high-tenacity variety (resistant to tearing and fraying), while the spandex is a premium, long-chain fiber that maintains elasticity for years. This blend avoids the “stiff” feel of low-spandex fabrics and the “saggy” issue of high-spandex alternatives—instead, it offers a “give-and-take” stretch that’s comfortable for all-day wear. The fibers are also OEKO-TEX certified, meaning they’re free from harmful chemicals, making the fabric safe for sensitive skin.
To create the signature softness, we use a double-brushing technique: both sides of the fabric are gently brushed to remove loose fibers and create a uniform fleece layer—this not only boosts warmth but also reduces pilling (a common issue with single-brushed fabrics). For the stripes, we use a yarn-dyeing process (dyeing fibers before knitting) rather than piece-dyeing, which ensures the stripes are crisp, even, and resistant to fading. The dyeing process also aligns with eco-friendly standards, using less water and non-toxic pigments.
This fabric is a top pick for thermal underwear (base layers that feel like a second skin, thanks to the brushed texture) and cozy loungewear (pajama sets, hooded robes) that’s perfect for lazy weekends or cold evenings at home. It also works well for winter sleepwear—the brushed layer keeps you warm without overheating, ensuring a comfortable night’s rest. For kids, it’s ideal for thermal tops and bottoms, as the soft surface won’t irritate delicate skin.
In home decor, this fabric excels as winter throw blankets (plush enough for snuggling on the couch) and decorative pillow covers (that add a warm, inviting touch to bedrooms or living rooms). It’s also a popular choice for handmade gifts, such as custom baby blankets (personalized with embroidery) or throw scarves (soft and lightweight for daily use). Unlike heavy wool blankets, it’s easy to fold and store, making it a practical addition to any home.
We offer tailored brushed finish options: clients can choose a light brush (for a subtle softness) or heavy brush (for ultra-plush texture) based on their needs. For stripes, we customize width (from thin pinstripes to wide bold stripes), color (pastels, neutrals, brights), and even stripe direction (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal) to match specific design visions. We also provide sample swatches of custom stripe and brush combinations, so clients can test the look and feel before placing an order.
Our custom order services cater to both individuals and businesses: for small projects (e.g., handmade apparel), we offer low MOQs, while for large brands, we provide bulk pricing and fast turnaround times. We also offer branding options, such as custom woven labels (sewn into fabric rolls) or logo printing (for retail-ready fabrics). For eco-conscious clients, we can use recycled polyester in the blend, aligning with sustainable design goals.
The double-brushing process creates a plush, velvety softness—similar to a high-quality fleece blanket. The softness is long-lasting: the fabric retains its brushed texture after multiple washes, as long as you avoid fabric softeners (they can coat the fibers and reduce softness).
Yes—the OEKO-TEX certified fibers and gentle brushed surface make it hypoallergenic. It doesn’t contain harsh chemicals or rough fibers, so it’s safe for babies’ delicate skin and adults with eczema or sensitive skin conditions.
It works for both! The brushed layer provides enough warmth for standalone outerwear (e.g., lightweight jackets, scarves) in mild winter weather, and it’s also thin enough for layering under coats or sweaters in colder temperatures.
No—while it has stretch, the polyester-spandex blend is stable enough for standard sewing machines. We recommend using a stretch needle (to prevent skipped stitches) and a zigzag stitch (to accommodate stretch), but even beginner sewers can work with this fabric easily.
