All of our flannels are high quality, sustainable, and made from natural fibres, however our premium collection has a higher thread count for a slightly more luxurious feel. Whether you choose an essential flannel or a premium flannel blanket, you are getting a high quality blanket that is made to last.

How do I know which blanket is right for me or the litte one I'm buying for?

Knowing which type of blanket to choose for a little one can sometimes be difficult!

While there is no wrong answer and every blanket type will come in handy, we suggest quilts for a gift that is "extra-special", flannels for a great everyday blanket, and gauze blankets for when you are on the run or need something lightweight.

product

What is "free-motion quilting"?

Our baby quilts are made using a free motion quilting technique to ensure each quilt is truly unique and special. Free motion quilting means that the stitching is controlled and guided by the person quilting the blanket, rather than by the traditional sewing machine tools. This gives the quilter more creative freedom and results in an artistic expression that makes the blanket one-of-a-kind.

Would a blanket make a good baby shower gift?

Absolutely! Guaze blankets are always a great option for swaddling, especially in the warmer months. Flannels make for a great all-purpose blanket (we've got lots of choices for any nursery). Our quilts are oh-so-special, a perfect gift from a group of friends or special family member.

gifting

Do you offer gift wrapping?

All of our blankets come ready-to-gift, wrapped neatly, and packaged in a neutral, sustainable box filled with eco-friendly tissue paper. Just add a card and a bow.
