This fleece has great stretch and recovery. It is plush and soft, making it a delight to wear. My only difficulty with this fabric is that my serger chokes on it while going over big seams like side seams where they go over the armscye. I have tried cutting the thick areas before it gets to the knife with some success. I machine wash this fabric and dry it on low because my experience is that the bamboo holds on to moisture and hanging or laying flat to dry takes days. It seemed to hold up fine. The color is beautiful as well. I would happily buy this again
