What is this stuff? and what do I do with it?

It was at a thrift store and it is sooooo soft! One side looks sort-of like terrycloth and the other side looks sort-of like fleece. It is very stretchy and doesn't seem particularly durable. It is similar to some sheets I have that were labeled "microfiber". I think I have seen yoga-type clothes made from it. Can anyone name this stuff for me? And tell me what to do with 2 yards of it in very bright pink?? ------ - Labore est orare (work is prayer) - John Ruskin

Ok, minky - what do you want to be? I have plenty of pj's and refuse to leave the house in knit bottoms. I bought it thinking about baby/kid things because it's so soft, but the stretchiness has got me a bit scared - I usually sew less-stretchy knits like fleece. ------ - Labore est orare (work is prayer) - John Ruskin

I have one out of some atrocious acid green variegated eyelash fabric...but it's comfy, warm and the pattern was stylish enough when I get drop ins to the house I'm not embarrassed by it. It also, right now, is acting double duty as a baby blanket since it's thrown over DD where her hand is clutched for dear life to it. It also is the only garment I seem to own she won't throw up on. (Seems the more bright it is, the less it gets messed up!)
