How to Make Fleece Throw Blankets
Use fleece to make a throw. Fleece holds in heat well and comes in various thicknesses. The thicker the fleece, the warmer it will be. You can use a sewing machine to make the throw or tie two pieces together. Both methods work well. Fleece comes in different patterns and colors. Use the same colors or mix and match. Cut the fleece to any size you want. Fleece is also machine washable.
