Polar fleece and flannel are both common fabrics, so they are often compared.
Polar fleece refers to a kind of fabric obtained by weaving yarn raw materials into grey fabric by knitting circular knitting machine and then dyeing and then processing by various complex processes such as drawing, carding, shearing, and polarizing.

Polar fleece has different classifications, mainly divided into two types: plain and printed, and these two classifications can also be subdivided, which is mainly caused by some differences in processing technology.
Polar fleece can be used to make clothes, bedding, carpets, throw pillows, etc.
