Charcoal is a warm charcoal greige from Shannon Fabrics’ Cuddle Extra Wide line. It’s a solid minky with a plush 3mm pile, made from 100% polyester, and 90" wide, so many quilt backs can be cut in one piece.
This soft gray with a warm, taupe undertone is an easy neutral to pair with almost any quilt top. It’s a great backing for farmhouse and modern quilts, earthy palettes, and gender-neutral gifts, and it hides lint and everyday wear well.
Cuddle is also great for throws, pet beds, pillows, and stuffed animals. Compare Charcoal with Simply Taupe for a warmer neutral and Ash for a deeper gray. If you’re sewing with minky for the first time, a walking foot and plenty of clips make it easier to handle.
