Double-Sided Cationic Warm Fleece 320 GSM, 175 cm

A double-sided brushed fleece in 100% cationic-dyeable polyester, 320 GSM on a 175 cm width. Both faces are raised and brushed into a soft pile, so there is no wrong side — the cloth needs no lining. The mill markets the warmth under a “De-rong” (“德络”) name, but the fibre is cationic polyester — no acrylic, no wool. It is the heaviest cloth in the range: a hoodie cloth, a jacket cloth, a blanket cloth, a cosy outer layer.

Full specification

Customization	Available — shade, weight and width confirmed at quotation. Cationic dye lets us match a solid or a two-tone; a made-to-match is a standard poly dye.
Knitting technics	A double-sided brushed fleece in cationic-dyeable polyester. Both faces are raised and brushed into a soft pile, so there is no smooth back and no wrong side. The cationic yarn takes a softer tone than regular polyester, which gives the cloth a gentle depth.
Composition	100% cationic-dyeable polyester. The mill tags it “德络” (De-rong) for its warm, soft hand, but the fibre is polyester — there is no acrylic and no wool. We name it by what it is: a cationic polyester fleece.
Yarn	Cationic-dyeable polyester; counts are set at order.
Yarn count	Other
Weight	320 GSM / 9.4 oz/yd². The heaviest cloth in the range — a substantial, finished cosy cloth on its own.
Width	175 cm / 69 inch. A wide fleece width, so the marker lays efficiently.
Colour	Stock shades quoted by number (No.001–No.096), or dyed to match a swatch you supply. The cationic yarn lets a two-tone or heather effect be struck on request — the cream quality is shown solid.
Hand	Soft and warm on both faces from the brushed pile; the cationic tone gives a gentle depth. A plush, heavy hand.
Stretch & recovery	Opens roughly 30–40% across the width from the knit; recovery is light-to-moderate. Fine for easy fits, not a compressive hold.
Shrinkage	Under 3% — heat-set synthetics.
Pilling	Grade 3–4. A brushed pile will surface-fuzz under hard abrasion; overlock the edges.
Fastness	Good — cationic dye is a touch more sensitive than disperse, so we set the fastness to a fleece programme rather than a hard-wash industrial one.
Making up	A ball-point or jersey needle, a slightly longer stitch so the pile does not trap; overlock the edges — a cut fleece edge will shed pills if left raw. Because both faces are plush, you can leave seams unlined and they still read finished.
Cutting	Lays and cuts like any fleece; a sharp blade, mark the grain off the wales. With no wrong side, layout is simpler — just watch the pile direction for an even sheen.
Pressing	Do not press the pile — steam it from the back or hang it. A hot shoe on either face flattens the plush and kills the hand.
Abrasion	Moderate; the pile is the wear surface and it surface-fuzzes before it holes. Fine for hoodies, jackets and blankets.
Origin	Shaoxing City, Zhejiang, China
MOQ	300 kg per shade.
Price	US$ 18.35 / kg (300–999 kg) · US$ 16.27 / kg (1,000 kg+)
Yield	≈ 1.8 running metres per kg at 320 GSM × 175 cm (≈ US$ 10.28 per running metre, ≈ US$ 5.87 per m²). At the 1,000 kg+ price that is ≈ US$ 9.11 per running metre, ≈ US$ 5.21 per m².
Lead time	Stock shades ship from the lot on hand; dyeing to match (including a two-tone) adds 7–10 days for the lab dip and your approval, plus bulk.
Packing	Roll-packed, about 20 kg per roll, poly bag inside a woven sack.
Sample	Hanger swatch and shade card free; a lab dip against your own cloth charged at cost and credited against the bulk order.
Documents	Invoice, packing list, B/L, certificate of origin; test reports on request.
Care	Machine wash cool to warm, mild detergent, tumble dry low or line dry; do not press the pile. Easy care.

On the name: “De-rong” is a warmth descriptor

A note we make openly: the mill markets this as a “De-rong” (德络) warm fleece, and our poster prints that name. But the cloth is 100% cationic polyester — there is no acrylic and no wool in it. “De-rong” in the market is a warmth descriptor for a soft, lofty hand, not a fibre specification, so we name the cloth by what it is and by the warmth it delivers, and we will never tell a buyer it contains a fibre it does not.

The practical read for a buyer is simple: you get the soft, lofty, warm hand the name promises, at a polyester price and with polyester easy-care. If you specifically need an acrylic or a wool warm fibre, tell us and we will point you to the right cloth — this one is cationic poly.

Both sides are brushed

The defining thing about a double-sided fleece is that both faces are raised and brushed into a soft pile. There is no smooth back and no wrong side, which is why this cloth needs no lining — a hoodie, a jacket or a blanket can be finished with the seams showing and still read as plush on every surface.

At 320 GSM this is the heaviest, warmest option in the range: more loft than the 280 double-sided, and more than any single-sided cloth. For a cosy outer layer it is the efficient choice — you get the warmth without adding a separate lining layer.

100% cationic polyester

One hundred percent cationic polyester keeps the same value equation as the rest of the fleece range: cheap, colourfast, easy-care polyester, plus the cationic option of a softer two-tone. There is no acrylic or wool, so the care is the polyester one — wash it, tumble it, it keeps its colour and its shape.

The honest limit is the fleece one: a brushed pile surface-fuzzes under hard abrasion and it does not love a hot iron on the face. Both are manageable — overlock the edges, steam from the back — and for the warmth-per-dollar it is the right cloth.

Three things that go wrong on a double-sided cationic fleece. Name: it is 100% cationic polyester, not acrylic or wool — “德络” is the mill’s warmth descriptor. Pile: with no wrong side, watch the pile direction and overlock the edges. Two-tone: the heather is a cationic dye effect, available on request, not automatic on a solid shade.

The warm knits sit next to the Double-Sided Fleece 280 GSM for a slightly lighter no-lining cloth, and the Double-Sided Cationic Fleece 230 GSM for a mid warm weight. The rest of the range is on the fabrics page.
