Minky Fleece Fabric

Minky Fleece Fabric by the Metre

Minky fleece fabric is a plush polyester fabric with a soft, velvety pile that feels warm and heavy in the hand. This dot fleece, sometimes called minky dot for its subtle textured surface, works well for blankets, cuddly toys and clothing alike. You'll find it here by the metre in different weights and finishes, ready to combine with our polar fleece fabric or teddy fleece doubleface fabric for lined projects. Whether you sew for a shop or just for your own living room, the fabric is easy to cut and forgiving to work with.

Minky Fleece with Dots

The dotted version, article R8885, is a 100% polyester fabric of 150 cm wide and 260 grams per square metre, a fairly heavy grammage that gives blankets and cushions real body. It stretches in width, which helps when you're covering rounded shapes like a pillow insert or a soft toy head. The dotted texture catches the light nicely and adds a bit of visual interest without being loud, so it suits both children's rooms and more grown-up interiors.

Minky Fleece Stripes

Prefer a striped structure over dots? Our minky fleece stripes (article R8874) has a similar 100% polyester composition, 150 cm width and 1 cm stripe width, but is a touch lighter at 240 grams per square metre. It also stretches in width. The stripe pattern gives a slightly more tailored look, handy if you're sewing hoodies or pajamas where you want texture but not too much bulk.

What You Can Sew with Minky Fabric

Minky fleece fabric turns up in a wide range of projects. A few things it's commonly used for:

• Cushions and cushion covers for the sofa or bed
• Blankets and throws with real warmth for cold evenings
• Hoodies, pajamas and other comfortable garments
• Soft toys and stuffed animals for children
• Home accessories like throws or decorative cushions

Because the fabric has some stretch in width, it also drapes reasonably well over curved forms, which is useful for toy-making and for garments that need to move with the body.

Ordering by the Metre and Wholesale

You order minky fleece fabric by the metre here, so you buy exactly the length your project needs. For larger volumes, wholesale pricing kicks in from 6 metres, and the fabric is also available on rolls of 50 metres for businesses or workshops that go through it quickly. Not sure yet how the fabric feels or drapes? A fabric swatch can be ordered for 0.50 euro before you commit to a larger length. Everything ships from our warehouse in Tilburg.

Choosing Between Minky Fleece and Other Fleece Types

Minky fleece is denser and plusher than standard polar fleece fabric, making it the better pick when softness and drape matter more than breathability. If you need a fabric with more grip and less stretch for structured garments, polar fleece is worth a look. For double-layered projects, like reversible blankets with a contrasting texture on the back, teddy fleece doubleface fabric pairs nicely with either minky variant.

In Short

Minky fleece fabric gives you a soft, heavyweight polyester with either a dotted or striped texture, sold by the metre with wholesale options from 6 metres. It's a solid choice for blankets, cushions, toys and comfortable clothing, and the swatch option means you can check the feel before ordering a full length.
