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 does Starlight Minky ship and how long does it take to ship?

We currently only use USPS. We ship mostly on the next 1-2 business days and use priority shipping (1-3) business days to get your item.

Do you send tracking on orders?

Absolutely! Tracking is sent to your email address that is used with your purchase.

About Us

Starlight Minky was created and formed on the principle of families. Prior to creating this small business, most of our family were already sewing professionally at different jobs in Utah. We made bows, shirts, undergarments, slings, and more using industrial machines for various companies. We decided to come together and use our talents of over 80 years in working in the sewing industry and try blankets after a friend introduced us to minky. We fell in love with the fabric and that is where it all began.

Starlight Minky was created for the purpose of making soft, high quality blankets while keeping families first. Our goal is to bring a product that everyone can enjoy at an affordable price without cutting quality. We only use minky from Shannonfabrics, Michael Miller, and Spoonflower so our customers know they are getting the very best. Minky is quite expensive, but we do our best to keep it at a great price. As we continue to grow, we will always look for the best and highest quality items for our customers. Whether that is fabric, stitching, customer service, type of machines, and more.

All of our items are sewn with industrial machines so your blanket gets the very best stitch. Everything is made right here in the Utah and Idaho from college aged students to stay-at-home moms and grandmas. We feel blessed to have such a great opportunity and love what we do. We have met so many great people around the world from this little business and we appreciate everyone. We could not do this without all the great knowledge people have shared with us over this time. We know time is precise so when people give us their time it means a lot.

All of us here would just like to thank you for looking into our small business. If you have any questions, ideas, or concerns please feel free to send us a message. We would love to hear from you. We are committed to our customers as we also consider them family. Thank you once again.
