Fleece – a real all-purpose weapon in every household
Vlies-Test 2020
Yard goods cause prices to fall significantly
Probably you have landed on our portal because you already know relatively exactly for which purposes you want to buy fleece. Are you an advocate of hygiene products for the offspring made of natural materials? Then you can produce nappies from nonwoven material with comparatively little effort. You can also order fleece for insulation – preferably as cheap but high-quality yard ware – as long as it is for work that does not necessarily have to be carried out by a professional craftsman according to regulations.
Although nonwovens are not directly related to paper and films, there are nonwovens which are structurally and optically similar to both materials. But these similarities will not be discussed here.
Rather, the first question in the fleece test is which manufacturers offer you products from this category. A better known brands are:
- TI-PO
- Fortis
- Iden
- Weavers
- KnorrPrandell
Ironing, gluing, stuffing or sewing
In view of the various work areas in which iron-on nonwovens or other nonwoven variants can be used, you will probably pay less attention to manufacturer names in test reports than to information on the possible applications. In many cases, non-woven cotton wool is recommended as a filling for pillows, blankets, bedding or stuffed animals. Do you like to be creative and have high standards for your products? Then the test report will largely focus on fleece quality. In terms of price, the working material is so cheap per meter that you can easily buy a little more.
So you always have a small reserve of fleece, cotton wool or iron-on fleece, in case you notice any damage to the seat cushion or other objects that you want to repair yourself. Fleece is ideally suited as an intermediate material for furniture pieces, which you insert between the foam and the actual furniture material to ensure the right stability.
Different thicknesses for different types of work
Experienced handicraft fans appreciate that the manufacturers offer fleece of different types in several thicknesses. So you can arrange your purchase according to your needs to buy the fleece in the online shop of our well-known partner, who guarantees you the best conditions for ordering and shipping in. With the yard goods you should in any case also keep an eye on the width before you complete your purchase. The more exactly you know which format the fleece should have for your purposes, the more precisely you can choose. This prevents you from having to cut everything to size first.
Fans of goods “Made in Germany” can also consider this wish when ordering. If you design and manufacture toys yourself, it is important that the fleece material is washable (sometimes only dry-cleaning is recommended) and as antibacterial as possible, so that the offspring do not come into contact with harmful bacteria.
Advantages and disadvantages of fleece
- low prices
- large application area
- Mounting must be correct
What can I use which non-woven fabric for in the end?
Also of interest is the information in nonwoven test reports on which materials adhesive nonwovens are suitable for and how they adhere. A distinction is made between one-sided and two-sided adhesive interlinings. Cotton or linen belong to the light to medium-weight fabrics. The colour is equally relevant. If you would like to use the ordered nonwoven for handicrafts for Christmas and similar occasions, the colour white is without doubt the best alternative.
Tip! Of course you can buy fleece in other colours. Iron-on fleece, on the other hand, is particularly easy to apply with an iron. And another tip: If you are currently planning a celebration, you can rely on tablecloths made of fabric-like fleece. You can buy these inexpensively in various widths with lengths in the two-digit metre range and various colours.
Many of these products are washable, moisture repellent, odourless and tear-resistant at the same time, which makes them reusable! Further proof of how flexible nonwovens really are in everyday life between manual work and other areas of work.
