• What makes Gray Heron blankets different?
  Gray Heron blankets are made with high quality organic cotton muslin and designed to feel both luxurious and lived in. The fabric is soft, breathable, and beautifully textured, so it works in every season. Each blanket is thoughtfully designed to be used every day and still feel special enough to keep as an heirloom.

• Are Gray Heron blankets safe for babies and newborns?
  Yes. Our blankets are made from organic cotton muslin and finished without harsh chemicals, making them a gentle choice for delicate skin. Like any blanket, they should be used following safe sleep guidelines. We recommend keeping loose blankets out of the crib for unattended sleep and using them for supervised naps, stroller walks, tummy time, and everyday snuggles.

• What is organic muslin and why is it good for blankets?
  Organic muslin is a lightweight woven cotton fabric that is both breathable and cozy. Because of its open weave, it allows air to circulate, helping to reduce overheating while still providing warmth and comfort. When the cotton is grown and processed organically, it avoids many of the harsh chemicals used in conventional textiles.

• Are Gray Heron blankets a good gift?
  Gray Heron blankets are designed to be truly special gifts. They feel more elevated than a typical blanket, with beautiful texture, careful finishing, and a quiet, timeless aesthetic. Customers often choose them for baby showers, new baby gifts, birthdays, housewarming, and holidays when they want to give something that feels both practical and luxurious.

• How do I care for my Gray Heron blanket?
  We recommend machine washing your blanket in cold water on a gentle cycle and tumble drying on low. The muslin softens and becomes even more cloudlike over time. Avoid bleach, and for our natural or light fabrics, an oxygen based whitener is preferable to keep the fibers strong and color true.

• What sizes of blankets do you offer?
  Gray Heron offers a range of sizes, from baby and stroller blankets to larger throws and bed blankets. Each product page lists the exact dimensions and recommended uses, so you can choose the size that fits your nursery, bedroom, or gifting needs.

• How do I transform my blanket from a flat cloth the puckered blanket I see on the website?

Upon arrival at your door, your Gray Heron blanket will be enclosed in a sweet, reusable cinch bag. When you remove your new Gray Heron from the bag, it will look more like a table cloth than the blanket you admired on the website. Do not worry! You will want to first wash the blanket on a gentle or permanent press cold water setting. Your blanket will emerge from the wash with that wonderful, textured grid pattern. Once dried, (dry on a lower setting or line dry), the blanket will feel just as you'd expected! Please note that your blanket will shrink slightly in the wash and dry process. All dimensions listed on our website are “after washing” dimensions.
