60 in Wide Shaggy Faux Fur Fabric by the Yard - Fluffy Long Pile

In this review of the 60 in wide shaggy faux fur fabric sold by the yard, the bottom line is simple: crafters and small-scale upholsterers who need generous, continuous pieces of long-pile faux fur will appreciate the coverage and soft hand this material provides. Cut to order in continuous 36 in x 60 in units, it is aimed at sewing hobbyists, costume makers, and home decor projects that benefit from a realistic, fluffy texture without the cost or care of real fur.

Key Features

• Sold by the yard: Each unit is cut to order as a continuous 36 in x 60 in piece so you can avoid seams on visible panels.
• 60 in width: The extra-wide fabric offers broad coverage that suits blankets, large costume panels, rugs, and photo backdrops without joining multiple pieces.
• Ultra-soft long pile: Made from synthetic fibers, the plush shaggy pile gives a realistic, cozy feel useful for wearable items and plush toys.
• Versatile uses: Works well for cosplay, stuffed animals, pet beds, upholstery accents, fashion trims, and home decor accents thanks to its texture and drape.
• Easy to work with: The fabric is designed to be cut and sewn with minimal shedding, which keeps projects cleaner and saves time on finishing.

Who It's For

This faux fur is best for hobby sewers, costume designers, and DIY home decorators who need a wide, continuous piece of long-pile fabric for visible applications where a soft, fluffy surface is important. It suits makers creating jackets, throws, plush animals, pet beds, or photo backdrop pieces that benefit from a realistic pile and generous width.

Those who need heavy upholstery-grade backing or substantial fabric thickness for structural seating should look elsewhere, as some users note the material reads lighter in weight. If exact color matching is critical for a professional production run, order a swatch first because color accuracy opinions are mixed among customers.
