You may be wondering what cuddle cloth or minky fabric actually is, and if there is a difference between the two since both terms are often used together. Cuddle cloth fabric is the Shannon Fabrics signature brand of high-quality minky fabrics, while the term minky fabric refers to a variety of plush microfiber fabrics from various manufacturers, including Shannon Cuddle fabric.

The differences are very slight, as Shannon Fabrics Cuddle cloth is essentially a brand of minky fabric. Shannon minky fabric is a typically one-sided plush fabric with 100% polyester fibers, not to be confused with fleece fabric, which is a two-sided, 100% polyester fiber fabric with a slightly less fuzzy texture. The soft cuddle minky surface is generally on the top side of the cuddle fabric.

The Shannon Fabrics quilting brand offers more than just plush fabrics and warm feelings, though.
