Ice Fabrics Faux Fur Fabric by the Yard - 60 in Wide Plum - Super Soft

In this review the Ice Fabrics faux fur by the yard is evaluated for makers, cosplayers, and home crafters who want a warm, fluffy material that looks luxe without using real fur. The single biggest reason to buy is the plush, shaggy mohair texture that feels realistic and holds up to sewing and shaping for pillows, costumes, rugs, and trims. This review focuses on tactile quality, usability, and durability so you can decide if the 60 in width and available lengths match your project needs.

Key Features

• Plush texture: The medium-weight shaggy mohair finish provides a soft, luxurious hand that adds visible loft and glamour to garments and decor.
• Warmth: The dense pile traps air and provides extra warmth when used for shawls, coats, or cold-weather costume elements.
• Blend and care: Made of 77% acrylic and 23% polyester, the fabric stays soft and resists odors while remaining simple to cut and sew.
• Durable backing: Non-slip polyester backing holds the fur fibers together for repeated use and helps with reuse for craft projects.
• Wide and versatile: At 60 in wide and offered by the yard, this fabric is convenient for larger pieces like rugs, throws, or panels with fewer seams.

Who It's For

This fabric suits crafters, costume designers, and home decorators who want a cruelty-free faux fur that looks and feels premium for pillows, rugs, accents, and wearable projects. The 60 in width and medium weight make it particularly useful for makers who need wider cuts to reduce seams when upholstering or making large throw pieces.

Those who need ultra-lightweight trim or completely shed-free, industrial-grade furs for heavy daily wear should consider alternatives; some customers report shedding and mixed impressions of thickness under heavy use. For most DIY projects and seasonal garments, this fur performs very well.
