The best thing you can do for your blanket is to scotchgard it before using. As there is no completely safe way to wash them, some colors may bleed when water is run over them. Sweat rarely causes this but large amounts of water can. This happens with all show blankets, some companies just won’t admit it. All blankets ship out from us in a protective plastic bag that can be used for years. We recommend storing the blanket in that bag when not in use.
The best part of our retirement program is how it affects you as the consumer. Our blankets sometime increase in value after they retire!
We created and maintain a thriving FaceBook group called, Cuttinup Show Blankets Facebook Group, for buying and selling blankets after retirement. People post in search of posts and trade their Cuttinups all the time. If there’s a blanket you missed out in production, it’s a great source to find it.
