Pico Textiles 15 Yards Bolt - Purple Solid Fleece Fabric - Soft, 60in

In this review the Pico Textiles 15 yards bolt in purple is assessed for sewists, crafters and home sewers who need a large, economical supply of fleece. The bottom line: buy this if you want soft, medium weight fleece sold in substantial 15 yard bolts that is easy to sew or use for no-sew throws. The generous 60in width and the one-color purple option make it especially useful for scarves, tie blankets, or large craft projects where color consistency and a cozy hand matter.

Key Features

• Color and finish: The solid purple gives a consistent base for projects and shots of color that hold up well across a large bolt.
• Material: 100% polyester fleece is easy to care for and keeps a soft hand after washing, which is practical for everyday use items.
• Width and size: At 60in wide and sold in 15 yard bolts, it covers large projects and cuts down on piecing for blankets and upholstery-like craft uses.
• Weight and warmth: Medium weight fleece traps body heat effectively, making it a good choice for throws and scarves without being overly bulky.
• Durability: Fleece resists wear and dries quickly, so finished items are generally low maintenance and suitable for frequent use.
• Packaging: Each quantity equals a separate 15 yard bolt, so ordering multiple quantities gives multiple full bolts for larger runs or repeat projects.

Who It's For

This fleece bolt is best for hobby sewers, craft instructors, and makers who need a lot of consistent fabric in one color for projects such as tie blankets, no-sew throws, scarves, costume pieces, or classroom supplies. The 60in width reduces seams and simplifies cutting patterns for wide projects.

Those who should look elsewhere include sewers seeking a very thick, heavyweight fleece for insulation or those who require a luxury, long-pile finish; customer feedback notes some variation in perceived thickness and quality, so anyone needing a very specific loft or premium hand may prefer to request a sample first.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Soft hand and comfortable surface that works well against skin for scarves and throws.
• Large 15 yard bolts at 60in wide are economical for big projects and reduce piecing.
• Easy to care for polyester construction that washes and dries quickly.

Cons

• Quality and thickness appear mixed in customer reports, with some finding the fabric thinner than expected.
• Solid, short-pile finish can show wear patterns on surfaces used as table coverings or high-friction areas.
