I was wondering about the pink too.  A lot of the hot pinks I've found look orange under blacklight, including a boa I used.  I'd like something that stays pink!

If it works, I will probably order some.  I just have to wait a while for $$$.  I just spent quite a bit for a non-blacklight song we are doing in May.  I have 11 new puppets to make for it.

I use mostly anti-pill fleece.  I buy it when it's half-price.  In my nearest big town I have a Hobby-Lobby, Joann's, and Hancock's.  Somebody almost always has it on sale.  I also have a Michael's but they don't carry fabric.  I haven't tried the terry or velour.  They don't seem to have as many colors as the fleece.

I was about to buy some, but I can't afford the shipping.  It was almost as much as the material.  I'll have to wait for now.
I know...I'm sorry about the shipping.  It really does cost that much!  But you can be sure that if I can get a cheaper shipping, I will change the price on my site.  
The one thing that does help though, is that usually blacklight fabric is more expensive.  I'm always hoping that will ease the shipping cost some at least.

I understand about the shipping.  I just wasn't expecting that with how much I had to spend.  I may be able to order some later.

I just got in some really nice-looking fleece from the fleece lady dot com (now called Fabric Diva dot com). It's some of the nicest quality regular fleece I've bought yet! They have a very wide selection of colors, and I paid $5.55 per yard at about 60 inches wide.

Oh and as you can see, my graphic is up! I'm so excited!

Love the likeness of your girl puppet!

Wow, the Fabric Diva does have nice fleece!  Does anyone know if the "almost fluorescent" is blacklight?  That would be nice.

Yes, their fleece is a nice weight with a really soft pile! I ordered 5 different colors I didn't order any of their fluorescents though, so I can't confirm whether it is blacklight reactive or not.

Nate!!! I love you logo.  B. does such a good job everytime!  I've ordered from the fleece lady also, only not the "almost" fluorescent.  It's a bummer that they don't send samples.  They do have pretty things.

Sara, I know what you mean about the shipping.  Didn't mean to sound as if you were over charging, prices seem really high whether USPS or UPS.  I have a new business account with UPS that helps.  You might want to look into the smart pick up option.  The site is a little confusing but the basic is you pay $10 a week and they come only when you set up a shipment online and you get a 28% discount over the base prices you'd pay at the regular UPS store.  I don't think the discount applies to the rural fees etc, but that has helped.  Sorry didn't mean to high jack the topic, Nate.
