Faux Fur Fabric by the Yard - Plush 2 to 2.5in Pile, Red 15 Yards

In this review the FabricLA faux fur fabric is examined for crafters and hobby sewers who need large, soft fur by the yard; the bottom line is that it delivers a luxurious, long-pile feel and consistent color at a value price, making it an excellent choice for plush projects and upholstery accents. The sample reviewed is a deep red, sold in individual custom-cut pieces so orders of multiple yards arrive as separate pieces. For those making costumes, stuffed toys, blankets or trim, the combination of a 2 to 2.5in pile and wide 60in fabric offers both visual impact and usable yardage.

Key Features

• Sold by the yard: Pieces are custom cut and shipped as individual sections so buyers ordering several yards receive separate, ready-to-use lengths for multiple projects.
• 2 to 2.5in pile length: The plush pile creates a soft, tactile surface that adds warmth and an upscale look to garments, pillows, and plush toys.
• 60in width: The wide fabric reduces seams for larger pieces like blankets, costume panels, and upholstery accents, saving time when cutting patterns.
• Hypoallergenic material: Designed to be gentle for infants and family projects, the fabric aims to minimize irritation compared with some natural furs.
• Color options: Part of a larger collection with over 30 colors so matching or contrasting choices are readily available for coordinated projects.
• Craft-friendly finish: The backing and pile respond well to common sewing and gluing techniques used in DIY and fursuit construction.

Who It's For

The fabric is ideal for crafters, costume builders, and small upholstery jobs who need a bold, fluffy surface and large yardage; hobbyists making fursuits, plush animals, trim for jackets, or decorative throws will particularly appreciate the 60in width and long pile. The hypoallergenic claim and soft hand make it attractive for items intended for family use and nursery decor.

Those who want a very lightweight or ultra-dense industrial fur might look elsewhere, since customer feedback shows mixed opinions on relative thickness and some reports of shedding in high-friction uses. If absolute no-shed performance is critical, additional backing or lining techniques may be necessary.

Pros & Cons
