assortment of pre-made silkys (Quick Ship Blankies) that can ship immediately.
Why does a baby need a special blanket?
Babies need to learn to comfort themselves. (It's a skill that can lead to less therapy later on
in life.) A satin baby blanket provides a texture that is soothing to the child. Most babies
hold the blanket or rub it when they're going to sleep. Once this becomes a pattern it
becomes much easier to get the child to settle down and sleep. A handy sleep aid.
Is this Silky blanket machine washable and dryable?
Of course! And these satin baby blankets get softer and softer with every wash. However,
you should never use a fabric softener (it will spot the satin). And for minkee blankets I
recommend drip-dry.
Why are the "Lil' Silkys" so small?
Babies and toddlers just need a little something soft to cuddle and stroke. It helps them
calm down. Since a baby is small - why shouldn't her security blanket be small, too? And a
small silky is safer to use for sleep training. (also called silky, lovey, wobie, blankie, silkie, lovie,
wubbie, blankee, blanky, or wobie.)
Is it okay for the child to become so attached?
Yes, it is a normal and healthy process. However, if the child is truly "addicted", I would
recommend having a second blanket as a backup. I get a lot of panicy second orders from
parents whose baby has lost their Silky.
When can I take the worn ratty blanket away?
Never! You might want to restrict the blanket to bedtime, but please don't throw away the
blankie or the scraps left. I have heard so many stories from adults who were traumatised
when their blankie was thrown away. If you do take it away, at least save the remains for
them to have when they leave home. It will make a wonderful goodbye/goodluck gift.
Can you personalize the blankets?
Yes, I charge $8 for ONE name (sorry, I can't do full name). Some blankets have the option
to personalize as you order. If it does not, use the "Personalize" option found on navigation
bar to add personalization to your blanket order. Personalized blankets cannot be returned
unless I make a mistake. Please double-check the spelling you give me.
What is the fiber content?
Most blankets are 100% cotton/flannel and the silky satin is polyester. Filling is either 100%
organic cotton batting or cotton flannel. Minkee fabric is polyester.
Where did you get the idea?
Since I had a satin blanket that I loved when I was a kid, I wanted to give Silkys as baby
gifts to new mothers. But in 1999-2000 I could never find them in stores. So I started making
them. They became so popular with friends that I decided to start selling them to everyone
else looking for a gift that is truly special, helpful and well-made.
Why are some designs limited?
I want parents and kids to feel special knowing they have a very unique Silky. Plus, some
fabrics are simply vintage or in short supply.
Do you offer gift wrap?
Yes, I now offer gift packaging. The blankets are rolled up in ivory tulle, tied with
coordinating ribbon and has a handmade gift card that matches the blanket. You can order
gift wrap during checkout for $3. For a picture, click here. No prices will be included when
sent directly as a gift.
How long does it take once I order?
Blanket are MADE-TO-ORDER. I try and ship within 2-3 weeks - but it does vary based
on demand. During summer & holiday seasons, orders may take longer. Please order early. I
ship USPS Priority (2-3 days) and my shipping charges are lower than most online boutiques.
If you have a deadline mention that in "Comments Box" and I will do my best. Or choose a
Quick Ship Blankie - these are pre-made and ship immediately.
Can I return or exchange my Silky?
Yes, unused baby blankets can be returned or exchanged within 14 days. Personalized
blankets CANNOT be returned unless I make a mistake.
