Brushed arnel is a knit that feels like cotton velveteen or velvet. It's as stable as most wovens as far as the stretch factor is concerned. Bathrobes were made from it.
The only caution about using that is - Don't press it with a hot iron - it will melt.
The poly fabric is that plushy stuff that they make couch throws with.. Got it at JC Pennys.. not very stretchy but will have to be careful....
