Think about how the blankets will be used, then match the size.

• Guests and favors: Standard throws around 50 x 60 in work well for laps, couches, and outdoor seating.
• Sleeping coverage: Twin/large throws (often around 60 x 80 in) provide fuller coverage for beds and shelters.
• Kits or kid/pet use: Smaller pieces (around 40 x 30 in) pack light and fit outreach bags.
• Warmth/feel: Product pages often note GSM; higher GSM generally feels plusher.
• Logistics: Check pack counts (e.g., 12, 24) and your laundry/storage capacity. You can choose delivery or pickup options at checkout to align with event timelines.

GSM (grams per square meter) describes fabric weight and can hint at warmth and drape.

• 160–200 GSM: Lightweight and easy to carry—helpful for travel, large events, and layering.
• 200–250 GSM: Cozier with more heft, good for everyday lounging and cooler rooms.
• 300+ GSM or microplush: Feels extra plush and warm, though typically bulkier.
• Fabric types: Microfleece is smooth and thin for layering; sherpa has a fluffy pile for a warmer feel; chenille-style options lean soft and substantial.

Exact warmth varies by construction, so it’s a good idea to review each product description and images before choosing.

Match the blanket to the program’s needs and practical care.

• Size: 50 x 60 in throws work for handouts and laps; larger 60 x 80 in sizes can be better for sleeping.
• Care: Look for machine-washable options to simplify cleaning.
• Material notes: Some listings mention hypoallergenic labels or Standard 100 by OEKO-TEX; check product details if that matters for your donation.
• Color: Dark, neutral colors can help hide wear; assorted packs are useful for mixed recipients.
• Coordination: Verify any size or color guidelines with your organization. Use delivery or pickup at checkout to meet drive dates.

Caring for fleece is generally straightforward, but always check each care tag.

• Before first use: A gentle wash can help remove lint from new blankets.
• Washing: Use cold water on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Wash similar colors together and avoid bleach.
• Drying: Tumble dry low and remove promptly. Lower heat can help reduce pilling and static.
• Large batches: Split loads to avoid overfilling the washer and dryer.
• Storage: Fold when fully dry and store in a clean, dry space. Breathable bins or shelves can help maintain loft without compressing the fabric.

Yes—many bulk fleece blanket listings offer assorted colors or patterns, while others come in a single color.

• Assorted packs: Great for group events, donation drives, or mixed audiences.
• Single-color packs: Helpful for weddings, school colors, or themed décor.
• Patterns and solids: Options often include solids and plaids; review images and descriptions for what’s included.
• Customization: If you need a specific mix, consider combining multiple single-color packs.
• Variants: Use the product page to select available colors, sizes, and pack counts before adding to cart.
