General Care
Your chunky blanket is handcrafted with soft, cozy 100% polyester yarn. With gentle care, it will stay plush, fluffy, and beautiful for years.
Washing
Polyester chunky blankets are easy to care for and respond well to gentle washing.
- Machine wash on cold
- Use the delicate or hand‑wash cycle
- Add a small amount of mild detergent
- Avoid bleach or fabric‑damaging cleaners
Polyester fibers soften beautifully after washing, so don’t worry — this step helps your blanket bloom.
Drying
Drying is where polyester really shines.
- Tumble dry on low heat or air‑only
- Add dryer balls to help fluff the yarn
- Remove promptly to prevent flattening
- Never hang to dry — chunky blankets can stretch under their own weight
Low heat + movement = maximum softness.
Softening
If your blanket feels a little stiff at first, that’s normal for new polyester chenille.
To soften it:
- Tumble dry on air‑only with dryer balls
- Lightly steam sections to relax the fibers
- Gently stretch and massage the loops
This helps the blanket drape better and feel cloud‑soft.
Storage
- Store folded in a cool, dry place
- Avoid hanging (it can stretch the stitches)
- Keep away from direct sunlight to prevent fading
- For long‑term storage, place in a breathable cotton bag
Pilling & Shedding
Polyester chenille may naturally pill or shed slightly over time — especially with lots of love and use.
You can:
- Snip pills carefully with small scissors
- Gently tuck stray fibers back into the blanket
- Avoid brushing or combing (it can damage the yarn texture)
A Cozy Reminder
Your blanket was handmade with care — may it bring you warmth, comfort, and the softest moments in your home.
