What's the difference between Fleece (written on bolt WALMART) and Blizzard Fleece (Joanns) Is one thicker/better then the other OR same?

i'm guessing it's just a different quality or thickness. I have a second job in a fabric store, and we have like, 6 different types of fleece. Arctic fleece, lambskin fleece, anti-pill, some kinds are thicker... anyway.

I haven't seen the one you're talking about, but our labels are in french .

I am not personally familiar with the brands you mentioned, but there are different grades of fleece, quality wise. There are different densities, different lengths of fibres, different quality of the underlying weave. You can feel them and tell differences. At Hancock's there are bargain basement qualtiies and gradations all the way to super plush. When I was in JoAnns, I noticed variations as well. :?

The reason I asked is because I alway buy my fleece at Walmart. Its just labeled FLEECE. ($4.44) Joanns has BLIZZARD fleece on sale for $2.99. I figured I'll take a piece of mine and match it with theres. Only way I can do it.

I was wondering because I am going to make a hammack for my chinchilla
and I need fleece. I had never really known that they are different types of fleece until I started to buy some.
