🧵 The fabric

The DouDou Fur Fleece is a 100% polyester coral fleece with an ultra-soft, fluffy pile that is identical on both sides. This type of fleece, also known as plush fleece, is distinguished from classic fleece by its longer pile and velvety texture, which mimics the softness of a plush toy. With a substantial weight of 430 gsm, it guarantees warmth, thickness, and durability, making it perfect for creations intended for babies and children.

Sold in 50 cm linear cuts with a width of 150 cm; multiple units purchased are supplied as a single continuous piece. Its double-face construction eliminates the need to distinguish between the right and wrong side, significantly simplifying the making of blankets, crib covers, comfort toys (doudous), and children's accessories.

🧬 Technical composition: why it works

100% polyester is the ideal synthetic fiber for this type of fabric because it ensures extreme softness, wear resistance, and easy maintenance. Unlike classic fleece, coral fleece features longer, denser fibers that create a fur effect that is soft to the touch, which is particularly prized for items intended for the sensitive skin of babies. Polyester is hypoallergenic, does not irritate the skin, and retains its softness even after numerous washes.

The double-sided structure of the fabric effectively traps body heat, keeping the child warm without being heavy. Polyester dries quickly and is moisture-resistant, essential features for fabrics used daily with little ones. The synthetic fiber does not form pills (anti-pilling) even after prolonged use, ensuring that blankets and plush toys retain their original appearance over time.

📦 Format and cut yield

Each unit corresponds to 50 cm linear with a width of 150 cm. With a 50 cm cut, you can make a standard flat doudou (approx. 30x30 cm) or a small stroller blanket. For a standard crib blanket (80x100 cm), 2 units (100 cm total) are required, while for a bed blanket (100x120 cm), 3 units (150 cm total) are needed.

The 430 gsm weight makes this fabric particularly substantial and warm, ideal for the cold season but also for projects requiring structure and thickness. By purchasing multiples, you will receive a single continuous piece: for example, ordering 3 units will get you a 150x150 cm cut. We recommend purchasing all the fabric needed for a project in a single order to ensure color uniformity between lots.

✂️ Workmanship and sewing

Coral fleece is easy to work with on a home sewing machine using a universal 80/90 needle and a straight stitch with a length of 3-3.5 mm. The fabric does not fray, so edge finishing is not strictly necessary, although a zigzag or overlock stitch provides greater resistance and a professional finish. Being double-face, you do not need to worry about which side to use as the right side.

For projects intended for babies, we recommend washing the fabric before construction to pre-shrink any fibers and remove processing residues. The long pile requires care during cutting: use sharp scissors and mark the layout on the reverse side with tailor's chalk to avoid mistakes. For doudous and stuffed toys, combine this fabric with hypoallergenic polyester stuffing certified for children's use.

✨ Why choose LacariaRicami DouDou Fleece

Compared to classic fleece, coral fleece offers superior softness thanks to its longer pile and velvety texture. While traditional fleece is more suitable for sportswear and outdoor gear, DouDou fleece is specifically designed for creations in direct contact with children's skin: blankets, comfort blankets, plush toys, and nursery accessories. The difference is felt immediately upon touch.

The 430 gsm weight guarantees warmth and substance without being stiff or heavy. The fabric wraps delicately while retaining its softness even after numerous washes—a fundamental feature for items destined for daily use with newborns. The double-face construction completely eliminates the "right side vs wrong side" issue, simplifying the manufacturing process and allowing for reversible creations.

🎨 What you can create

DouDou fur fleece is the ideal fabric for children's items and home decor. Its irresistible softness and safety for sensitive skin make it perfect for crib blankets, flat security blankets, plush toys, and soft puppets. It is equally versatile for children's clothing such as hoodies, scarves, vests, and fleece sweaters, as well as pillow covers, robes, and home decor accessories.

👩‍🎨 Who it's for

This fabric is also suitable for beginners because it is easy to work with: it does not fray, cuts without trouble, and sews easily on a standard home machine. Being double-face eliminates the anxiety of choosing the wrong side during construction, making the work simpler and faster. Perfect for those new to creating items for children.

It is typically purchased by creative moms making personalized baby layettes, hobbyists making handmade doudous and plush toys, artisans selling children's creations on online marketplaces, and anyone looking for a soft, safe fabric for projects intended for babies and children. Its versatility also makes it appreciated for handmade birth gifts.
