Crop Circle Story

I moved several years ago from central Florida to Manhattan, Kansas.  During the drive I enjoyed seeing all the acres of crops growing in the fields of the Midwest.  While watching TV the first winter and using the Kansas State Fleece Bed Topper Throw I had made my daughter, I put it on the couch and started forming it into a circle for the cats.  I called it a "crop circle" for some reason, I guess having the image of the crops and previously hearing about crop circles.  Making "Crop Circles" for our cats became a "thing" at our house, using fleece throws.  It was all about the "art of folding and tucking" to get it just right.  

Fast forward and I have now designed the concept into something that does not need the "art of folding and tucking" that I can offer to everyone for cats to enjoy.  My cats all tried the prototype and instantly approved.

"Crop Circles" are best used on the couch or the human bed, not designed for the hard floor.  Our cat family loves them and give their paw stamp of approval.

It’s Easy Fleecy to keep your fleece items looking great for years to come.  Wash fleece alone in cool/warm, not hot water.  Fleece should not be combined with other fabrics, as additional fabrics may cause abrasive wear to the fleece.  Do not use bleach or detergents containing bleach.  If stained; distribute a small amount of detergent over the stain, do not rub, and wash as recommended above.  The use of fabric softener is not needed and is not recommended.  Do not iron or dry clean fleece.

Dry fleece on the lowest dryer setting, do not use dryer sheets and remove promptly when dry.  Fleece dries fast! 

Mesh bags or a cotton pillowcase closed with a hair tie or rubber band are useful for washing/drying small item/s.

YES – Cool/warm water, wash separately, detergent only, lowest dryer setting, remove promptly.

NO – Heat, bleach, fabric softener or dryer sheets, rubbing, dry cleaning or ironing!        

 Special Instructions for Washing Crop Circles

Find the tab of the invisible zipper on the “scrunchie” part of the Crop Circle (a little hidden and hard to find sometimes).    Open the zipper and pull on the “snake”. The two ends of the “snake” should be available from the zippered opening. The two ends are snapped together. Unsnap the ends and pull the snake from the fleece of the Crop Circle. Wash and dry the fleece as directed above. If the “snake” is not soiled, no need to wash. If you do find it necessary to also wash the “snake”, due to an accident – urine, stool, vomit, place the “snake” in a cotton pillowcase and secure with a hair tie or rubber band and wash as above. To dry the “snake” hang it stretched through four (4) hangers and allow it to air dry for a day. Then dry in the dryer on lowest heat setting. Then hang on hangers again to allow it to finish drying. Note: it can    seem dry when it is not completely dry. You can also manipulate the foam within the “snake” by grasping in the center along the length or the “snake” and pulling gently from both sides. After the “snake” is dry insert it into the scrunchie portion of the Crop Circle and feed it around to the opening. Snap the ends together and zip the opening closed.
