Blanket Care

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.
