Ice Fabrics Solid Minky Fabric by the Yard - Extra Wide Lime 5 Yards

Our review of this Ice Fabrics Solid Minky Fabric finds it best suited to makers who want a reliably soft, easy-to-use plush fabric for blankets, baby items and plush toys; the single biggest reason to buy is the fabric's remarkably soft, luxurious hand combined with a 58/60' extra-wide width that reduces seams on larger projects. The material is 100% polyester, lightweight and quick-drying, and the lime color shown here is vivid and consistent, making it a good choice for visible surfaces like throws and pillows.

Key Features

• Ultra-soft hand: The minky surface delivers a velvety, plush feel that makes finished blankets and stuffed animals feel luxurious to touch.
• Extra-wide width: At 58/60' wide the fabric covers larger projects with fewer seams, which is helpful for blanket backs and large cushions.
• Durable and low-maintenance: Synthetic polyester construction is hypoallergenic, quick-drying, and resists shrinking when cared for per instructions.
• Easy to sew: Customers report the weight and nap make it straightforward to stitch for apparel and craft projects with regular sewing tools.
• Multiple lengths available: Sold by the yard up to 5 yards, so crafters can buy small samples or longer runs for several projects.
• Colorfast appearance: The lime tone holds up well in wash and retains brightness after repeated laundering.

Who It's For

Quilters, sewists and makers looking for a soft backing for quilts, cozy baby blankets, plush toys, pillows and loungewear will appreciate this minky fabric; its extra-wide width and consistent nap speed up production and reduce seam matching. It also suits hobbyists who value easy care and long-lasting softness after machine wash and tumble dry on low.

Those who need natural fibers, high-heat ironing compatibility or outdoor-rated performance should look elsewhere, since this is a 100% polyester plush fabric that should not be ironed and is designed for indoor textile projects.
