What to Write on a Blanket Tag

A tag is a sweet personal touch for a handmade blanket.

Whether you have knitted an afghan, made a quilt, or tied a cozy fleece blanket, adding a personalized tag adds a special touch that can be both sweet an informative.

Care Instructions

Not all fabrics should be cared for in the same manner and including care instructions on the tag will help remind the owner how to wash and dry the blanket, even after years of use. This is a good bit of information to include whether you are gifting the blanket or using it in your own home.

Fiber Content

Sometimes it is just nice to know what a blanket is made of. If it is extremely soft, you or the owner may want to seek out more items made from that fiber. This can also be a health issue as some people are allergic to certain fibers.

Blanket Maker's Name

Including your name or the name of the person who made the blanket is a nice personal touch. If the blanket is an heirloom-quality item this information will be cherished by future generations.

Blanket Recipient's Name

Indicating who the blanket was made for on the tag just enforces how special they are to have a handmade gift that was made with them in mind.

Special Message

If the blanket is made for a special occasion, such as a new baby or an anniversary, it may be appropriate to include a short message to the recipient on the tag.
