...with anti-pill fleece, instead of sweatshirt fleece. my local jo-ann fabrics has oh maybe 2 colors of sweat fleece, so i decided to try anti-pill. anybody done this before? how do they turn out? i'll post mine up when i'm done, blue/yellow/purp.

I don't know the difference, but be the guinea pig and tell us how it turns out.

it actually worked pretty good. i went skiing in it today with an 8 degree wind chill. it was warm enough with it, a t-shirt, a long sleeve thermal, and my saga crew underneath. i was pleased, although it seems that more snow sticks to it than sweatshirt fleece. pics here:

oh and if you want to buy, do go ahead.

anti-pill just means that after certain extended wear on the fabric, that little balls shouldn't show up on the surface of the fabric.

+ any stretch fabric, of relative feel and weight, should turn out pretty much the same as regular sweatshirt fabric.
