Cuddle & Minky Fabric

Cuddle minky fabric has become a favorite for baby-related items and other projects due to its softness and comfort. Here are some of the characteristics that make minky fabrics the go-to for projects where a gentle touch is required:

• Baby Soft: Minky baby fabrics are incredibly soft and velvety to the touch – ideal for items meant to be snuggled with, such as blankets and stuffed toys. If you need help getting started, we have crib quilt kits to guide you through your project. Of course, baby blanket and crib quilt safety are always a top priority.
• Texture: Cuddle minky fabric has a raised pile or nap on one side, which gives it a textured appearance. This texture adds depth and visual interest to projects made with minky fabric by the yard.
• Durability: Minky by the yard is durable and able to withstand regular use and washing, making it suitable for items like quilts and throws.
• Variety of Colors and Patterns: Patterned minky fabric is available in a wide range of colors, patterns and textures, allowing for creativity in sewing and crafting projects. And yes, there's faux fur minky fabric, too!
• Warmth: Minky fabric is known for its warmth, making it a popular favorite in autumn and winter quilts and blankets. Check out our selection of quilt kits for inspiration.
• Easy to Sew: Using the proper quilting notions, tools and techniques, Minky fabric is simple to sew. For example, it's best to use a walking foot with a stretch needle on your sewing machine for best results.
• Easy Care: Simply machine wash minky fabric in cold water on a gentle cycle and tumble dry on low to ensure the material remains plush and vibrant with every use.
