Fleece Knit is a type of heavy, bulky fabric, usually made of or synthetic fibers. It is often used to make warm clothing, such as sweaters and jackets. The knitting process for fleece knit is a bit more time consuming than that for other fabrics, as it requires loom knitting or machine knitting for the "ribbing". Once knitted, fleece knit is often brushed or sheared to smooth out the fibers and to give it a soft, fuzzy texture.
