Yurt Insulation- Fleece

[alexisdrane]

Hello everyone! I am currently in the process of building a yurt and was able to get a great deal on some polartec fleece bolts (aprx. $1/yd). We are planning on using it as a combination of an insulative layer, as well as our interior liner. the only problems that we can foresee is that the color is a dark brown and might make the interior seem cave like. The other problem that I worry about is if will be substantial enough as

insulation

. has anyone ever used fleece as an

insulation

or liner?

My idea is to paint one side of the fleece with some kind of paint (latex maybe?) I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this or any suggestions? This would solve both problems in my mind, but as I have often found, I can be a little too idealistic and thought it would be best to get some second opinions.
