Faux Fur Fabric by the Yard - Plush 2in Pile for Crafts & Sewing

Our review of this faux fur fabric sold by the yard finds it best suited for crafters and sewists who need a plush, large-width material for projects like fursuits, plush toys, throws, and trim. The single biggest reason to buy is the dense, luxurious 2 to 2.5 in pile that creates an ultra-fluffy finish and masks seams well, making it ideal when a soft, high-pile look is the priority. Pieces are custom cut by yard and shipped as separate sections, which helps when ordering multiple yards for larger projects.

Key Features

• Sold by the yard in individual pieces: Each quantity ordered is shipped as separate, custom-cut pieces so you can manage pattern layout and avoid long continuous rolls.
• 2 to 2.5 in pile length: The deep pile delivers a plush, tactile surface that adds volume and a luxurious hand to costumes, upholstery accents, and home decor.
• Wide 60 in fabric width: A 60 in usable width reduces seams for large items like blankets and garments and gives more layout flexibility.
• Hypoallergenic construction: Marketed as safe for infants and sensitive users, making it a practical choice for family items and toys when synthetic fur is preferred over real fur.
• Multiple color options: Available in over 30 colors so makers can match trendy shades or classic neutrals for coordinated projects.
• Craft and sewing friendly: The fabric is designed for hobbyists and small-scale sewing projects, fitting tasks from plushies to upholstery accents.

Who It's For

This faux fur is aimed at hobby sewists, prop builders, and costume makers who need a high-pile, wide fabric that reads as luxurious on camera or in finished pieces. It works well for fursuit panels, throw blankets, decorative pillows, plush toys, and fashion trims where a thick, fluffy texture is desired.

Those who need a low-pile or very dense upholstery-grade backing for heavy daily wear should consider other textile types; similarly, if minimal shedding is an absolute requirement for industrial or heavy-use upholstery, test a swatch first since customer feedback on shedding and perceived thickness varies.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Very soft, high-pile surface that photographs and feels luxurious for creative projects.
• Generous 60 in width reduces seam work on wide projects like blankets and costumes.
• Sold by the yard with custom cuts so ordering multiple pieces results in separate usable sections.
• Wide color selection allows accurate matching for design work.

Cons

• Customer reports on shedding and perceived thickness are mixed, so some projects may require testing before large purchases.
• High pile can be bulky for very detailed garment shaping or for applications needing a very low-profile finish.

Our Verdict

For makers who prioritize a plush, voluminous finish, this faux fur represents good value and creative flexibility because of its deep 2 to 2.5 in pile, wide 60 in width, and separate custom-cut yards. It is a sensible buy for costume builders, plush makers, and home decor crafters; just order a swatch or a small cut first if minimal shedding or a less bulky hand is critical to your project.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the fabric shipped in one continuous piece?
Each yard ordered is shipped as a separate, custom-cut piece rather than one long continuous roll.

How long is the pile and how does it feel?
The pile is approximately 2 to 2.5 in and feels very soft and fluffy, suitable for plush projects and trims.

Does it shed a lot?
Shedding reports are mixed from customers, so testing a small piece before committing to large orders is recommended if shedding is a major concern.
