Chenille is a type of material that is used in the manufacture of many different items, including a baby blanket. Chenille is a warm material, similar to silk which is very soft and can be made into many different designs. It sometimes has a frayed appearance and can be made with silk linings around the edges.
Why is Chenille good for a Baby Blanket?
Chenille can be a very good material for a baby blanket. It will feel very soft on the baby’s skin and will keep the baby very warm. This material can be more expensive than others for baby blankets but it is worth it because the material has a very long life. If the blanket was to be damaged, it can be easily fixed. It is easily cleaned and you can put it in the washing machine and it will keep its shape after many washes. This is vital in a baby blanket because it is very likely to get dirty while you are looking after your child. However, it should be noted that this is not a material that can be tumble dried as it will shrink.
Many of the designs of Chenille baby blankets are made with silk tassles or linings around the edges. Therefore it is important that these design elements stay attached to the blanket and do not become frayed or hang away from the blanket. If this were to happen, then the blanket would have to be mended immediately due to the fact that the baby could put the tassles in his/her mouth or the edges may become a strangulation risk. Having said this, Chenille blankets are very well made and this may never occur.
The size of the blanket is very important as it can determine what the blanket is used for. A large blanket can be used as a swaddling blanket and the fact that this material can be used in different shapes, makes Chenille perfect for this. You can buy chenille baby blankets online in many different sizes and designs and you can also buy small versions of a blanket you may already have which would be perfect for travel use or to store in a stroller for outdoor use.
Conclusion
Chenille can be a very good material for a baby blanket. It is the more expensive choice but you will get value for money. It is perfect for swaddling or can be used as a changing blanket, because it is easily cleaned, or for use as the babies bedding. There is a safety issue but that is easily rectified if you take good care of the blanket. You can purchase this type of Chenille Baby Blanket online in many different colors, designs and at an affordable price.
