Shannon FABRICS Luxe Cuddle Hide Navy 1.8 m Precut 58/60in Plush Embossed Minky Fabric

Shannon Fabrics Luxe Cuddle Cut 2yd Hide Navy is a two-yard precut of luxe minky with an embossed animal-hide texture, perfect for plush sewing and cosy home projects.

This 58/60"-wide Luxe Cuddle® Hide fabric in deep navy offers the softness and drape of Shannon's signature minky—with the convenience of a ready-to-sew two-yard cut. The embossed hide pattern gives subtle visual interest and tactile dimension while remaining versatile for garments, blankets, accessories and home accents. Because it’s a precut, you skip measuring bulk bolts and get a consistent piece sized for many small- to medium-scale projects.

How does the embossed hide texture affect finished projects?

The hide emboss adds a raised, irregular pattern that gives depth without overwhelming prints or other fabrics. It reads as subtle luxury on large surfaces and offers a tactile cue that’s cosy to the touch. The texture also helps hide wear and small stains compared with plain pile fabrics.

• Soft, raised embossed pattern for visual and tactile interest
• Masks minor wear and small blemishes better than smooth minky
• Works well with solid or patterned cottons and knits
• Maintains plush hand after sewing and washing

What projects are ideal for a 2-yard, 58/60" wide precut?

A two-yard length of this width covers many popular projects without extra seams. It’s sized for throw blankets, the backing of quilts, pet beds, scarves and small wearable items like vests or robe trims. Precuts reduce waste and are especially useful for makers who want a single-colour focus fabric.

• Throw blankets and quilt backs sized for minimal seams
• Pillows, pillowcases and spa accessories
• Pet pads, stuffed toys and small wardrobe items
• Accents like robe linings, collars, cuffs and slippers

How do you care for Shannon Luxe Cuddle Hide fabric to keep it plush?

Care is straightforward: machine wash gentle in cool water and tumble dry low for best texture retention. Avoid high heat and harsh bleach, which can flatten the pile or affect colour. Brushing with a soft garment brush after drying restores nap if needed.

• Machine wash gentle, cool water
• Tumble dry low; remove promptly to reduce creases
• No bleach; avoid fabric softeners that reduce loft
• Light brushing restores plush nap if flattened

Will this fabric work with quilting and standard sewing machines?

Yes—Luxe Cuddle Hide is compatible with home sewing machines and many quilting techniques, though it is thicker than quilting cotton. Use a ballpoint or stretch needle for smoother stitching and a longer stitch length to prevent puckering. For quilting, baste well or use clips instead of pins, and consider walking foot assistance for even feeding.

• Use stretch or ballpoint needle to reduce skipped stitches
• Longer stitch length and walking foot recommended
• Clips or hand-basting work better than pins for thick pile
• Trim seam allowances and grade seams for cleaner edges

Who is this for: Makers who want a ready-sized luxury minky with a refined textured finish—sewists, quilters, small-batch designers and crafters looking to create plush throws, accessories, pet supplies and cosy wearables without buying full-width yardage. The two-yard precut offers an efficient, waste-minimizing option for both beginners who prefer predictable sizing and experienced makers who need a dependable, high-quality navy minky for coordinated projects.
