Polyester plush fabric (100% polyester fiber) is a soft, warm, and cost-effective synthetic fabric that is essential for autumn and winter. It is formed by fuzzing/pulling/shearing processes to create dense fluff on the surface, commonly including fleece, lamb wool, coral wool, flannel, and imitation rabbit hair.
