Troubleshooting
Blanket feels rough after washing
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can sometimes affect fleece texture. Tumble drying on a low heat can help restore softness.
3D horns or ears are creased
Gently reshape the horns and ears while the blanket is slightly damp. Avoid ironing directly on these parts. A low-heat tumble dry may help to relax creases.
Fading color after washing
Wash the blanket inside out in cold water and use a detergent suitable for colored fabrics. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying.
