Guide Review - Blankets and Silkies by Cutie Petutie Originals
If your baby gets hooked and you don't want to take a large (30 x 25 inch) blanket out and about or see it dragged around the house, you can get a matching silky. These silkies measure just 14 x 14 inches. (I would suggest sending one with your child if they are in daycare for a little naptime luxury, or keep one in the car.)
One problem I did come across was during washing. The instructions called for machine washing on cold in the gentle cycle with fluff drying. When I did this, the rose pattern on the fluffy side of the blanket disappeared and I noticed this side wasn't as soft afterward. In addition, one of the seams came apart after about a dozen washes. It was easily repaired, but a bit premature for a seam to come loose in this manner. I decided to exclusively hand wash and fluff dry the silky and experienced none of those problems -- it's still as soft as it was brand new with seams intact after 50+ washes. So I would definitely recommend hand washing so this blanket loses none of its beauty or feel.
