Ice Fabrics Solid Minky Fabric by the Yard - Ultra Soft 58/60in Black

In this review the Ice Fabrics Solid Minky Fabric is judged on softness, versatility and ease of care; it is a strong choice for crafters and sewists who need an ultra-soft, durable polyester fabric for blankets, baby items, pillows and plush toys. The single biggest reason to buy is the fabric's luxurious, velvety hand, which makes finished projects feel premium without special laundering. For anyone making throws, apparel linings or quilt backs who values a smooth, washable finish, this fabric delivers consistent results.

Key Features

• Ultra-soft texture: The 100% polyester minky surface delivers a luxuriously smooth, warm hand that elevates blankets and baby accessories.
• Extra-wide width: The 58/60in width reduces seams on wide projects like throws and quilt backs, making cutting and layout simpler.
• Durable and stable: The synthetic, non-shrinking construction stands up to repeated use and washing for long-lasting projects.
• Hypoallergenic and quick-drying: Lightweight polyester is suitable for sensitive skin and practical for items that need frequent laundering.
• Easy to sew: The medium weight and smooth face make the fabric straightforward to handle for apparel, stuffed animals and pillow covers.
• Simple care: Stain resistant fabric is machine wash cold and tumble dry low, maintaining softness without ironing.

Who It's For

The fabric suits home sewists, quilt makers and crafters who want a plush finish for blankets, throws, baby items and soft toys; its extra-wide width and forgiving polyester weave make it especially useful for larger projects that benefit from fewer seams. It also works well for apparel linings and pillow covers for makers who want a cozy interior or tactile surface.

Those looking for natural fibers or high-heat ironing compatibility should look elsewhere, since this is a synthetic, low-iron material. Extremely lightweight drapey garments may not be ideal uses; the fabric is best where plushness and durability are priorities.
