How to keep fleece from shedding?

wash the blanket in warm water using baby laundry detergent (such as dreft or woolite). when drying the blanket tumble dry on low or air fluff, i find that air drying the banket keeps it from pilling. it is the nature of fleece fabric to start pilling after several uses/washes, you can buy pilling shaver mechines at fabric stores (such as joannes fabrics or michaels, even Walmart!) that you can use to trim the pillings off. Good Luck!
