Rockywoods.com has their fleece on sale for 20% off till the 3rd. I recently bought some of the Polartec double faced poly/wool and it's yummy! They have lots of nice (i.e. NOT Joann's blanket fleece) tech fleeces, including a pretty wool blend berber I had to have. We'll see if it becomes a present for DH or me. lol

I've ordered from them a couple of times now and have been really pleased w/ their fabric and service (I've reviewed them, but for some reason can't link in my posts anymore). They even sell Jalie patterns and notions, so you could order up a lil Christmas present making kit!

NAYY, of course...I'm just very happy with this source, especially at gift giving/making time.

Can you post a pic of the wool/fleece? It looks like they use Polartec's horrible color chips instead of an actual picture of the fabric.

In reply to Coconuts
Coconuts, I would be happy to post a pic but I'm having a hard time getting an accurate photo. So far I think my attempts would be misleading on the true color - must be that dark, tone on tone thing. I can tell you, however, that the wool side is a dark charcoal and the poly side is what I would consider to be a gunmetal (medium) gray. I think the gunmetal is pretty neutral...not too yellowish or too blue. Let me know if you would still like me to post a picture and I'll mess around with it once my peeps are down for their naps. But so far, I think my pictures would be less accurate than the color chips on the site.
