FabricLA Faux Fur Fabric by the Yard 10 Yards - Plush 2 to 2.5in Pile

In this review the FabricLA Faux Fur Fabric by the Yard is evaluated for crafters and sewists looking for a soft, high-pile material for plush projects. The bottom line: this faux fur is best for makers who need a generous, fluffy 2 to 2.5in pile sold in separately cut yards so each order arrives as individual pieces-ideal for costumes, plush toys, and home accents where a luxurious feel matters. The review highlights real-world handling, usability for sewing and crafting, and the practical tradeoffs encountered when working with a high-pile artificial fur.

Key Features

• Sold by the yard in separate pieces: Each unit is custom cut so buyers receive individual pieces that are convenient to plan and manage for pattern layouts.
• 2 to 2.5in plush pile: The deep pile delivers visible loft and a tactile, opulent surface that elevates throws, costumes, and decorative accents.
• Wide 60in fabric width: The generous 60in width reduces seams on large projects and is practical for upholstery or larger props.
• Hypoallergenic material: Designed to be gentle and suitable for projects intended for babies and family use where allergy concerns matter.
• Available in 30+ colors: A broad palette of shades lets makers match palettes from neutrals to pastels for coordinated craft and apparel projects.
• Craft and sewing friendly: The fabric holds up to trimming and hand or machine sewing when proper techniques for high-pile fur are used.

Who It's For

This faux fur is well suited for hobbyists and professional crafters making fursuits, stuffed animals, plush props, decorative pillows, and costume trims where a full, fluffy pile is desired. Its generous width and yard-cut pieces make it practical for projects that require continuity of pattern or large surface area without many seams.

Those who need a very low-shed, ultra-thin backing for delicate tailoring or for garments requiring close drape may want to test a small piece first or consider a shorter-pile fabric instead, since customer experience with shedding and perceived thickness has been mixed.

Pros & Cons
