I recently got my hands on the Hot Pink Minky Fabric by Ice Fabrics, and let me tell you—it’s like wrapping yourself in a cloud. The moment I unboxed it, I couldn’t stop running my fingers over it. The texture is luxuriously smooth, almost silky, but with that perfect plushness you’d want for a baby blanket or a snuggly throw.

I used it to back a quilt for my niece, and her reaction was priceless. She kept petting it like it was a kitten! The fabric is lightweight but doesn’t feel cheap—it’s got just enough weight to drape nicely. Sewing with it was surprisingly easy, though I’d recommend a lint roller nearby (this stuff sheds a bit, but nothing catastrophic).

The color? Vibrant. Exactly as pictured—a bold, playful hot pink that hasn’t faded after two washes (cold water, low heat drying, as instructed). I did notice some stubborn creases straight out of the package, but they relaxed after a gentle ironing (oops—I know the label says not to, but I used a pressing cloth and kept it moving).

At $X per yard, it’s pricier than basic fleece, but the quality justifies it. I’ve already ordered more in gray for a stuffed dinosaur project—no regrets. If you’re into plushies, baby gear, or just crave a tactile upgrade for your home, this minky is a winner.
