The minky is wider than most fabric and seems to go a long ways. I ordered some from Minky Delights Fabric and liked the fabric. The best luck I have had is when our LQS runs a sale or has precut end of bolt type fabric. There is a big difference in the feel of fabric. If you want really soft, textured go with I think it is called eyelash, it is swirled and it is so soft you can hardly feel it.
This is the very soft kind
