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

Our review of this Ice Fabrics Solid Minky Fabric finds it best suited for crafters and home sewers who want a reliably soft, easy-care material for blankets, plushies and cozy apparel; the single biggest reason to buy is its exceptionally soft, luxurious hand that stays after washing. The 58/60in extra-wide width and 100% polyester construction make it practical for larger projects, while the hypoallergenic, quick-drying nature means it performs well for baby accessories and everyday throws.

Key Features

• Incredibly soft touch: The 100% polyester minky offers a luxuriously smooth hand that makes finished items feel plush and comforting.
• Extra-wide width: At approximately 58/60in wide, the fabric is convenient for blankets, large backings and pattern layouts with fewer seams.
• Durable and low maintenance: The synthetic, stain-resistant fiber is quick-drying, does not shrink and holds up to repeated machine washes.
• Versatile for projects: This minky is suitable for apparel, pillow covers, stuffed animals, quilt backing and other sewn crafts.
• Range of color options: Available in a wide selection of solid shades, the brown shown here pairs well with neutrals and warm palettes.
• Easy to sew: Customers report the weight and nap are favorable for cutting and stitching without excessive slipping or stretching.

Who It's For

This fabric is aimed at hobby sewers, quilters and small-batch makers making blankets, throws, baby accessories and plush toys who need a soft, durable material that is easy to launder. The extra-wide width benefits anyone cutting larger panels or wanting fewer seams for bed covers or large throws.

Those who should look elsewhere include makers wanting natural fibers or breathable summer garments, since this 100% polyester minky is warm and synthetic rather than lightweight cotton or linen. If flame-retardant or specialty performance textiles are required, choose a fabric specified for that purpose.
