It traps the heat from a persons body, and thus, giving warm and heat to the body. It also protect the person from cold because of convection.

Traditionally, most blankets were made out of wool since this is warm, while the bed sheets are made out from linen, cotton, or silk. These materials for the sheets reduce skin irritations. The most common materials today are synthetic fibers for both blankets and sheets. Other purposes of these are for picnics or as an object for comforting small children which is called the minky blanket.

A minky is a fabric type usually used for producing baby accessories, blankets, and clothing. This is more likely the same as fleece, but it is thicker and softer. A fabric of high quality helps for the prevention of color fading and it also help in decreasing the warm.

A minky fabric was first used not for producing baby blankets but for producing changing pad covers, burp clothes, bibs, booties, baby clothes, diaper covers, pillows, and stuffed animals. Nowadays, it is not only used for comforting the babies but as well as for adults and teenagers. This is called as the minky couture. Minky couture provides luxurious fabrics in all ages.

This is because these are made with different types of patterns, designs, and styles which can provide an elegant look for your bedrooms, living rooms, and even bathrooms. These are also utilized to cover the dressers, chairs, piano, and couches.

Minkys are being made special and durable so that it can be washed using a washing machine. Even when it is being washed for a lot of times already, still it remains soft just like the first you held it. Surely, everyone does not want to use a blanket which is already lose after just one wash. Most people are afraid to wash any types of thin or soft clothes or materials for the reason that it might be torn after cleaning it for once.

For sure, children most especially toddlers may love playing it through wrapping the fabric around them or they may drag it all over the house. To be able to maintain its shape and as well as the softness, follow these simple steps. First is separating it from other clothing. You should wash it alone or with blankets with the same type. Use laundry detergents and fabric softeners when you wash it. Avoid using bleaches.

Second, if there are stains, you remove it through the mixture of baby powder and cornstarch and placing it to the stain overnight before washing it. A dishwashing liquid may be used as well. These methods work when you use cold water for rinsing.

It is better to hang it dry outside when the weather is hot. But you may just use a dryer, just make sure that you set it to low heat. There may be pillings on it and those are not avoided, so remove it using disposable razors or sweater shavers. Use in light pressure so you will not cut the fabric.
