5 Kinds of Polyester-Free Fleece

Living, working, and playing in Northern Michigan has lead us to a minor obsession with natural fleece (scroll to the bottom of this blog to read about why the "natural" part is important). We wear fleece daily from fall until spring. To satiate our fleece obsession for the Fall 2021/Winter 2022 Season, we are making, selling, and wearing clothing & accessory from five different types of fleece!  1_ Tencel & Organic Cotton Fleece 66% TENCEL™ Lyocell, 28% Organic Cotton, 6% Spandex New to fall 2021, this is the softest, most stretchy fleece we've seen yet!
