🧸 Fleece Blankets & Pillowcases

Our SPATZ fleece blankets and fleece pillowcases are made to be snuggled hard, washed often, and loved for years. Follow these care instructions and your personalised print will stay soft, cosy, and looking gorgeous.

Please do:

• Cold machine wash on a gentle cycle

• Wash separately before first use

• Turn blanket inside out before washing

• Use mild detergent only

• Line dry out of direct sunlight or tumble dry on low heat

Please don’t:

• Do not soak or use soaking agents

• Do not bleach

• Do not dry clean

• Do not iron

• Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, as this may cause fading over time

Good to know:

• Blankets and pillowcases may arrive flat — they’ll fluff up beautifully after washing

• All SPATZ fleece blankets are hand printed, so minor variations may occur. That’s what makes each one uniquely yours 💛

• With proper care, your personalised design is made to last well beyond the baby years (and into blanket-stealing sibling territory).
