Blanket Care Guide — FAQs
What is the difference between the three blanket materials?
Woven is 100% cotton and has a textured, tapestry-like construction with fringed edges.
Sherpa Fleece is the warmest and fluffiest option, with printed fleece on one side and a plush sherpa reverse.
Velveteen Plush has the smoothest surface, with a soft velvety feel and vivid printed colour.
Which blanket is the warmest?
The Sherpa Fleece is the best choice when warmth is the priority. It is made from thick polyester fleece with a fluffy sherpa reverse designed for extra cosiness.
Which blanket has the most traditional look?
The Woven Blanket has the most traditional textile appearance. The design is formed through woven cotton threads and finished with colourful fringe, giving it a tapestry-inspired character.
Which blanket has the smoothest feel?
The Velveteen Plush has the smoothest, softest surface of the three and is designed to feel velvety to the touch.
Are the designs printed onto every blanket?
No.
The Woven Blanket has its image created through woven threads.
The Sherpa Fleece and Velveteen Plush use dye-sublimation to apply the design to one side of the blanket.
Why does the woven blanket look slightly different from the image on screen?
A woven design is recreated using coloured yarn rather than pixels or ink, so very fine details and colour transitions naturally take on a more textile-like appearance.
Does the woven blanket have fringe?
Yes. The woven blanket is finished with colourful fringed edges that form part of its distinctive textile appearance.
Are the Sherpa and Velveteen designs printed on both sides?
No. Both have one-sided designs.
The Sherpa Fleece has the artwork on one side and a plush sherpa fleece reverse.
The Velveteen Plush has the design printed on one side of its soft velveteen fabric.

The Sherpa Fleece and Velveteen Plush should not be dry cleaned.
And for the Woven Blanket, follow the care label instructions supplied with the product.
Will the blanket be exactly the listed size?
Small production variations are possible.
For the Woven Blanket, a tolerance of approximately ±2.5 inches.
For Sherpa Fleece, a variation of approximately ±3 inches may occur.
For Velveteen Plush, the finished blanket may arrive up to 3 inches shorter than the listed size.
Are the 50 × 60" and 60 × 80" sizes available in every material?
Yes — those two sizes are listed by Printify for all three blanket types you offer.
Which size should I choose?
Choose 50 × 60" for a classic throw that's easy to use on an armchair or sofa.
Choose 60 × 80" if you want more coverage, a fuller drape, or plan to layer it over a bed or larger sofa.
Can I use the blankets as wall hangings?
The Woven Blanket is especially suited to this. It can be used as a display on a wall as well as using it as a throw.
Are these blankets suitable as gifts?
Yes. All three work as decorative and practical home pieces.
Why can colours look different from my screen?
Screens display colour using light, while textiles reproduce colour through yarn or dye. Small differences in brightness, saturation and detail can therefore occur.
This is particularly relevant to the woven blanket because the artwork has to be translated into a limited palette of yarn colours. And as such, the woven mockups may not fully represent the finished result.
