As getting a good night of sleep is vital to your mental and physical health, using the right blanket made with any of the best fabrics is essential. When it comes to making a no sew blanket, choosing the suitable fabric can add a lot of difference to the quality and comfort.

However, with so many different fabrics in the market today, figuring out which one suits you the best can be a nearly impossible task. 

Choosing the Best Fabric for No-sew Blankets

Blankets are essential for any household, whether you plan to put together bedding sets or need extra warmth during the winter months. 

Still, when you are making no-sew blankets, keep in mind that not all fabrics are the same, and there are several types of materials to pick from.

Are you making the blanket to keep you warm, or will you use it as a decorative throw? These are some questions you should think about before finding a suitable fabric. 

So, where do you start when it comes to selecting fabrics for quilts and no-sew blankets?

Choose the Right Weave

Fabric weaves refer to the way the warp yarns are interlaced in a fabric. And blankets often come in different forms of weaves. A fabric’s weave is the primary factor differentiating one blanket’s warmth and weight from another. 

Some of the different types of weaves for no-sew blankets include:

  • Quilted
  • Knit
  • Thermal 

If you are making a loose and breathable blanket, choose a thermal weave, whereas a knit weave makes for a cozy, warm, and heavy no-sew blanket.

Consider Your Style

Besides giving you coziness and warmth, blankets also add to your household’s aesthetic and style quotient. 

To keep up with the interior’s look, you should pick a fabric that is not only practical and comfortable but also balances the pre-existing bedding style.

You should remember that different materials have different aesthetics. Especially when it comes to the material’s texture, you have to take some time to check the look of the fabric before you settle on one.

Choose Fabrics That Work All Year Round

Does the fabric that you have in mind suit the weather conditions of your environment? Do you experience a balmy summer most of the time, or are there long and chilly winter winds? 

You can choose the knit jersey fabric to make summer-friendly no-sew blankets, and fleece makes an excellent choice for the chilly seasons.  

Depending on where you reside and the climate conditions in your area, choose a no-sew blanket fabric that will work all year round so that you don’t have to make a different blanket for different seasons. 

Consider the Budget

Last but not least, how much do you want to spend on your blanket? 

Compared to synthetic fabrics, natural fabrics tend to be a tad bit expensive. However, both the material will have a marked difference in the quality and comfort they offer. So, you mustn’t compromise on the blanket’s quality, as you will be using it every other day for the rest of the year. 

 

Now you have all the information you could possibly need to decide on what type of fabric to choose for a no-sew blanket. So, once you figure out which fabrics meet your requirements, you can go about choosing one out of the list. But remember, your comfort and style should always be a priority.
