Ice Fabrics Solid Minky Fabric by the Yard - Ultra Soft White

In this review we look at Ice Fabrics Solid Minky Fabric by the Yard to help crafters, sewists and makers decide if this extra-wide white minky is right for their projects. The bottom line: this 58/60' wide, 100% polyester minky delivers an incredibly soft, warm hand and consistent color, making it an excellent choice for blankets, baby accessories and plush items where a luxurious feel is the priority.

Key Features

• Ultra soft touch: The 100% polyester construction gives a luxuriously smooth hand that makes finished blankets and plush toys feel high end.
• Extra wide width: At 58/60' wide the fabric covers large projects without awkward seams, ideal for throws and quilt backing.
• Durable and low maintenance: This lightweight minky is quick-drying, hypoallergenic and resists shrinking after machine washing on cold and tumble drying low.
• Versatile uses: The fabric works well for apparel, pillow covers, stuffed animals and backing for quilts because it is easy to cut and sew.
• Color and size options: Although this listing is white, the wide range of solid colors and yard lengths makes it simple to match project palettes.

Who It's For

This minky is best for hobby sewists, quilters and small-batch makers who need a plush, consistent fabric for blankets, baby items, pillows and soft toys. The extra wide width is especially useful for people making larger pieces or who want fewer seams.

People who need natural fibers or high-heat ironing compatibility should look elsewhere, since this is a synthetic polyester that should not be ironed. Those seeking very heavy upholstery weight material may also prefer a denser textile.
