Blanket Fabric by the Yard provides exceptional softness, warmth, and comfort for creating cozy blankets suitable for all seasons. With a typical weight of 200–400gsm, it offers plush insulation without feeling overly heavy. From smooth fleece to textured sherpa and brushed knits, each option allows DIY creators and small studios to craft blankets that feel comfortable, durable, and visually appealing.
Fleece and sherpa are the most popular choices for blanket making, offering a soft, lofty pile that traps heat without adding bulk. Both fabrics are easy to cut and require no hemming, making them ideal for quick DIY projects and small studio production runs. If you love cozy, at-home textures, our Loungewear Fabric range shares many of the same plush materials suited for warm-weather wrapping. For those who want an extra layer of insulation, pairing sherpa with a Bonded Fabric backing creates a blanket with exceptional body and durability.
Brushed knits and flannel deliver a softer, more drapey hand feel that works beautifully in lightweight throw blankets and baby wraps. These fabrics typically sit in the 200–300gsm range, striking the right balance between warmth and breathability for year-round use. Our Brushed Fabric collection covers a wide selection of weights and fiber blends, including cotton-poly options that wash exceptionally well. Shoppers looking for complementary home textile projects will also find great pairings in our Cushion Fabric category.
One of the most important qualities in any blanket fabric is resistance to pilling, especially for pieces that will be washed frequently or used daily. High-quality fleece and brushed polyester in our range are engineered to maintain their surface texture through repeated laundering. Explore our dedicated Anti Pilling Fabric selection to find options specifically tested for longevity and softness retention. For makers who prioritize hygiene — particularly when crafting blankets for children or pets — our Anti Microbial Fabric options offer an added layer of protection.
Whether you're crafting a cozy throw for your living room or producing small batches of blankets for your shop, finding the right fabric at the right weight makes all the difference. Our blanket fabric range includes fleece, sherpa, flannel, and brushed knits — all available by the yard so you only buy what you need. Weights run from 200gsm for lighter seasonal throws up to 400gsm for seriously warm, heavy-duty blankets built to last through years of washing. If you're working on a broader home textiles project, our Bed Runner Fabric and Cushion Fabric collections offer coordinating options that complement blanket fabrics beautifully. Every fabric in this category is selected with softness, durability, and ease of care as the top priorities.
Blanket fabric isn't just for traditional throws — these warm, plush textiles are used across a surprising range of applications. From pet blankets and baby wraps to wearable capes and stadium wraps, the same high-GSM fabrics that make great bedding also shine in other cozy creations. Makers who love working with soft, textured materials often find that our Cape Fabric range and Craft Fabric collection overlap naturally with blanket-weight fleece and sherpa, opening up a world of creative possibilities from a single fabric purchase.
Ordering blanket fabric by the yard gives you full control over your project scale — whether you need a single yard for a quick gift or twenty yards for a seasonal production run. Our fabrics are available in a wide variety of solid colors and prints, including popular options like Buffalo Check Fabric and Animal Print Fabric that are perennial favorites for holiday and novelty blankets. With consistent quality across every bolt and straightforward care instructions, these fabrics are designed to make your sewing experience as smooth as the finished product.
