Product Information

Full details

The Minerva Core Range Lambskin Sherpa Fleece Fur in Cream is designed for sewists, crafters, and dressmakers seeking a premium, insulating material for apparel and home decor. This medium-weight fabric offers a luxurious, soft texture that provides significant warmth without the heavy bulk typical of traditional faux furs, making it perfect for wearable projects like gilets and jackets. While it is highly versatile and durable, users should note that as a fleece-style fabric, it requires careful cutting to manage shedding from the cut edges during the initial construction phase.

FAQs

Is this fabric suitable for children's clothing?

Yes, its soft texture and machine-washable nature make it ideal for children's jackets, hats, and soft toys.

Does the fabric stretch?

The lambskin sherpa fleece is generally stable, but always test the grainline when laying out your patterns.

Can I iron this fabric?

It is not recommended to use a hot iron directly on the pile, as it can melt or mat the fleece. Use a low setting and a press cloth if pressing is necessary, or simply steam from a distance.

What kind of thread should I use?

Standard polyester sewing thread is ideal for its strength and color-matching capabilities.

How is the fabric delivered?

Orders are cut from the roll as a single continuous piece to ensure you have the length you need for your specific project.

Troubleshooting

Fabric slipping while sewing

Use a walking foot or reduce the presser foot pressure on your machine to help feed the fleece evenly.

Excessive shedding at cut edges

Use a zig-zag stitch or an overlocker to finish the raw edges immediately after cutting.

Uneven stitches

Increase the stitch length slightly and test on a scrap piece of the fabric before sewing your main garment.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides excellent insulation without added bulk
  • Easy to clean with machine washability at 40 degrees
  • Crease-resistant for a polished finish
  • Excellent for both fashion garments and home accessories
  • Wide 150cm bolt accommodates most patterns

Cons

  • May shed slightly when cut
  • Requires careful handling to maintain the pile direction
  • Limited to a single cream colorway

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To prepare your fabric, it is recommended to pre-wash it at 40 degrees Celsius, which helps settle the fibers. When cutting, always mark your pattern pieces on the reverse side to avoid blunting your scissors on the pile. Use a universal needle (size 80/12 or 90/14) and a slightly longer stitch length (approx 3mm) to accommodate the fabric's thickness. For care, this fabric is machine washable at 40 degrees; avoid using bleach or high-heat tumble drying, as this can degrade the soft texture of the sherpa finish. Air drying is recommended to extend the longevity of the fleece surface.
