Which Joann's fleece is best?
 
All of Joann's fleece is on sale for 50% off. I know that price does not always equal quality there. Is their Anti-Pill, Blizzard, or Luxe the best? Thanks!

JoAnn's fleece has become much thinner than it was in the past. I find Blizzard to have more body than Anti-Pill. It doesn't seem to pill much. The thinner Anti-Pills are not a smooth finish and I'm not a fan.

Huh, I've always preferred the Anti-pill because I found the Blizzard to be thinner and I can't stand pilling. I did buy some of the luxe kind and love it, but I haven't used it yet.

The thickness may vary on a bolt by bolt basis. I recently bought two 2 1/2 yard pieces - one a printed Anti-pill and one a solid Blizzard. The Blizzard was much thicker and while folded it took up at least 1/3 more space in the bag. Doing a machine blanket stitched hem on the Blizzard was much easier. The Anti-pill was so thin it wanted to distort the edge. Last year's Anti-Pill was a little thicker, but nothing like any fleece was 10 years ago.

I'm not familiar with the Luxe. Road trip time. My nearest JoAnn's is 50 miles away.
