I'm looking for solid color fleece fabric - sold by the yard - that is about 85% to 95% nylon fleece, and the remainder spandex (to make the fabric stretch well during use). Can anyone recommend a site that has good quality fleece fabric with these characteristics?
The best quality fleece made, IMHO is Polartec by Malden Mills, they make one version with Lycra:

Malden Mills Outlet
has PowerStretch in a limited range of colors.
Many outdoor/active wear suppliers, like Peak Fabrics and RockyWoods will carry PowerStretch or similar fabrics from other manufacturers.

Looks great I ordered samples, thanks.
You're welcome, I think you'll like Malden Mills' products.
And another hint, if ever you are looking for Polartec® 200 ($11.99/yard) you'll find the same product in limited colors in their "Blankets and Throws" section

Thank you SO much for posting this Beverly. About two years ago, when silkweight was available only in black or white, I bought two yards of black and made a pair of tee shirts. I love them, even in this sticky climate they stay cool and comfortable, and do not lose their shape or color. I wished so hard that it was in other colors, but......
And now I see that they have brought the other colors back. Yippee. Once I have made up at least some of the fabrics I ordered a month ago, I shall buy some in colors. (I really don't like to have a stash, it always stares at me making me feel guilty).

Link? I don't see anything called "silkweight" at milldirecttextiles.com, sounds intriguing.

Thanks! I'm not in love with any of the present colors, but I'll keep checking back.
