Polyester plush fabric Fabric (Sherpa Fleece / Faux Sherpa Fleece)
White lambswool fabric
Important prerequisite for colored fleece fabric: what is commonly called fleece on the market is not natural lamb wool! The mainstream material is 100% polyester fiber (polyester), and the industry’s standard English name is Sherpa fleece. In foreign trade, it is strictly prohibited to label it as lamb wool (natural wool) to avoid customs disputes.
