A Spoonflower exclusive fabric, Minky is an incredibly plush 100% polyester fabric beloved for its soft, short pile and rich, saturated color. Offering a hint of stretch, this medium-weight fabric has strong wash durability and a luxe texture. Makers choose Minky for cuddle-worthy throw blankets, baby blankets, soft toys and even cool weather apparel. Quilters will love the drape of this cozy fabric for quilts and backings.
Minky Fabric is Best Used For:
Blankets and throws, plush toys, cozy/winter accessories, quilt backings, loungewear, jackets
The [Spoonflower] variety is huge, the colors are reliable, and the ability to scale and customize designs means the fabric actually fits the garment, not the other way around. It’s rare to find a platform where you can test ideas, order swatches, and then wear the result.

Minky Fabric FAQs
Wash separately in cool water using a gentle machine cycle. Machine dry using a low temperature or permanent press setting and remove promptly to avoid wrinkles.
Designs print with crisp detail and vibrant color. Smooth fabrics show fine details clearly, while textured fabrics create a more natural printed look.
Some Spoonflower fabrics may include a small amount of extra width for the selvedge (the finished edge of the fabric). This area helps prevent fraying during printing and shipping. The listed fabric width refers to the usable printed area, and any selvedge is included as additional width.
