Well, I appreciate it anyway -- I see she's written about sewing fleece,
and I'm going to get her book from the library. Thanks!

Thanks for making me feel less dorky! And her polar fleece books are
very good. I have "More Polar Fleece Pizazz" and have made, oh, about
umpteen things from it. One especially nice item is Helping Hands
Mittens--you can easily get your fingers free without taking the mittens
off. Here: http://pair.com/threets/hhm.jpg I must have made 20 pairs
of those. One of our friends, a professional musician, plays a bamboo
flute and wears his HHM while he performs at outdoor events in cool/cold
weather.

I like Great Copy patterns too.

Still can't think of that other company, though.

"exotic" fleece - fancy looking stuff, not just the regular smooth
fleece. (www.maldenmills.com)

When I checked on the Malden Mills store web site, they don't seem
to have any Thermal Pro for sale. If you find a place online that
sells this stuff, let us know.

Have you check RCT or Textile Outfitters?

Will do.

> Have you check RCT

Ah hah -- you're the second person to suggest them (someone else
recommended them by e-mail). They look likely.

>or Textile Outfitters?

I have now! Textile Outfitters seems to have patterned fleeces, but not
textured:

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions.
