The solid side is made of chenille. There are a few types of chenille. The most famous type is a cotton chenille. It is made basically the same way as "Grandma`s" old bedspread. Cotton chenille will get softer and fluffier with every wash. Another chenille is a "Minky" type of chenille. It is softer than cotton chenille. It almost feels like velvet.
We do not use any batting in between. Our blankets wash better and are much more cuddly without batting.
