Faux Fur Fabric by the Yard 60 in Wide Beige - Super Soft Shaggy

In this review the Ice Fabrics faux fur fabric is evaluated for makers who need a warm, fluffy and reusable material for costumes, home decor, and apparel. The biggest reason to buy is its realistic shaggy texture paired with a 60 in width that makes cutting and sewing larger projects simpler; it feels soft to the touch and has enough body to drape for pillows, rugs, or trims. Reviewers and testers will appreciate that it is medium-weight and intended to be a cruelty-free alternative to real fur.

Key Features

• Fluffy texture: The shaggy mohair-style pile provides a luxurious, realistic look that adds elegance to garments and home accents.
• Comfort and warmth: Medium-weight construction helps retain warmth, making it suitable for shawls, trims, and cold-weather accessories.
• Durable backing: The non-slip polyester backing helps hold the fur fibers together so patches and cut pieces can be reused and resist fraying.
• Cruelty-free blend: Made from 77% acrylic and 23% polyester for a soft, smooth hand without animal products or strong odors.
• Easy to work with: The fabric cuts and sews cleanly for DIY projects like pillows, rugs, costumes, and plush crafts with minimal fuss.
• Wide and versatile: At 60 in wide and sold by the yard in multiple lengths, it covers larger projects without awkward seams.

Who It's For

This fabric is best for hobby sewists, costume designers, prop makers, and crafters who want a visually convincing faux fur that is soft and pleasant to handle. Its 60 in width and medium weight suit projects like oversized pillows, blanket trims, rugs, and costume coats where coverage and a shaggy appearance matter.

It may be less ideal for ultra-fine couture tailoring where very lightweight fabrics are required or for buyers who need a zero-shed guarantee; some users report shedding under heavy use. Also, anyone needing specialty fibers not listed in the blend should look for a different technical fabric.
