What is minky?

Minky is a very soft, cozy, fluffy, and silky type of fabric. It is 100% polyester and comes in many different colors and textures (thousands of different combinations). Depending on the type of minky, the blankets can be lighter (prints, solids, hides) or heavier (bunny, seal, frost) in weight.

How do I wash my minky blanket?

For the best results: wash in cold water only, light detergent, air dry or air tumble only. No heat, low if any. No fabric softener.

Why are these blankets so expensive?

The minky fabric itself is quite expensive. Along with that is the difficulty of sewing all the different types and combinations. All of our blankets are hand sewn by the owner.
