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 (and does that include the bunny type)?

Yes, this includes "bunny." For the best results: wash in cold water only, light detergent, air dry or air tumble only. No heat. 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 stay-at-home mothers, grandmothers, and college aged families in Utah and Idaho. At Starlight Minky we use only the best and highest quality of minky from Shannonfabrics, Michael Miller, and Spoonflower.

What makes you different than other companies?

Starlight Minky only uses industrial sewing machines to make our products. These machines give the greatest and finest possible stitch. We want our customers to know they are getting only the best item possible. Read more HERE in the About Us section to learn more.

Can I order a custom designed blanket or item by choosing different colors or types of minky and how long would it take?

Absolutely! Please fill out all the available information HERE and we will get that started for you. The time frame can be anywhere from 1-2 weeks if we have the fabric available. You can still order fabric that is not currently instock, we would just have to order what you have chosen (could increase time frame). We make all custom orders currently over weekends.

How To Pick The Right Minky Blanket Size

by SmartSites November 19, 2021

When buying a minky blanket, choosing the right size is important so that you are able to use the blanket for its intended purpose. If you are buying a minky blanket online, it may be confusing as there are many sizes to choose from and you are not able to see it up close. Hence, we will look at how you can choose the right minky blanket size for your needs.

Does Size Matter?

Does size really matter? It’s just a blanket, right? Well, blankets come in different sizes. Getting the right size is important for a few different reasons. Firstly, it is important as it can save you from potentially having to buy extra blankets if you get the wrong one. Additionally, buying the wrong blanket size can also be a waste of space when you have to store them. Hence, paying attention to the size before buying blankets can save you both time, money, and space in the long run.

Size also matters when you are looking at who is using it and for what purpose. For example, if your child is using it, you would not want to get an adult-sized blanket as it would just be too big for them. Or if you intend to use a blanket just for lounging around the sofa and keeping warm, you would not want a big-sized blanket as it would be too bulky and big for the couch. Therefore, getting a perfect-sized blanket allows you to be able to fully maximize its usage for your intended purpose.

Lastly, size matters to ensure your home looks aesthetically pleasing. For example, you would not want to drape a big bed-sized blanket on the couch as it would just look bulky. Similarly, having a small blanket would not look good when you place it on top of a big bed.

What Are The Different Minky Blanket Sizes?

If you are planning to buy a minky blanket, you can expect to see these different sizes:

Child Size Minky Blankets

This is the smallest minky blanket size measuring 30 inches by 36 inches. It is suitable for infants, toddlers, and young children. Minky fabric is super soft and is sure to make your child feel comfy while having a good night’s sleep. The designs are also fun and colorful to put a smile on your child’s face.

Throw Size Minky Blankets

These blankets have dimensions of 50 inches by 60 inches. The size is perfect as a throw blanket to be draped over your couch or when you need to keep yourself warm while catching up on your favorite TV show. Due to the size being not too big, it is also a great blanket you can bring along when you are traveling as it would not take up too much space in your luggage.

Adult Size Minky Blankets

There are two sizes for adult blankets. 60 inches by 72 inches and 60 inches by 90 inches. These sizes are ideal for bedtime and can be used for twin beds. It is also big enough to cover your entire body hence providing the needed warmth and comfort for your night’s sleep.

Choosing the right minky blanket size is important as it saves you from having to get extra blankets, saves space, maximizes usage, and makes your home looks good. There are different sizes available if you wish to buy a minky blanket including child size, throw size, and adult sizes.
