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

Our review of Ice Fabrics faux fur fabric finds it best suited for crafters and costume makers who want a visibly plush, warm faux mohair without animal products; the single biggest reason to buy is the fabric's soft, shaggy pile and wide 60 in width that makes it easy to cut for large projects like rugs, pillows, or outerwear trims. The fabric arrives with a dense, fluffy face and a polyester backing that keeps the pile aligned, and while some users note light shedding over time, the overall feel and true-to-photo color make it a reliable choice for decorative and wearable DIY work.

Key Features

• Warm and fluffy: The medium-weight shaggy mohair texture provides real warmth and a luxurious look for cold-weather garments and cozy home items.
• Cruelty-free construction: Made from a blend of acrylic and polyester, it imitates natural fur without animal products or strong odors.
• Durable backing: Non-slip polyester backing holds the fibers together and helps the material resist wear when used for repeated projects or cushions.
• Easy to work with: The wide 60 in panel and forgiving pile are simple to cut, sew, and splice, reducing waste on large DIY pieces.
• Vivid color options: Sold in bold shades like this red, the dye is true to picture and gives a standout finish for accents or full garments.
• Multiple sizes available: Offered by the yard up to larger lengths, so buyers can choose half yards for small crafts or multiple yards for costumes and rugs.

Who It's For

This faux fur is ideal for hobby sewers, costume designers, and home decorators who need a wide, plush fabric that reads like shaggy mohair. The 60 in width is especially useful for making throw rugs, full-size decorative pillows, capelets, or statement trims without seams, and the soft hand suits projects where comfort and appearance matter.

Buyers who need perfectly odorless, zero-shed upholstery-grade fur or a midweight fabric that must survive heavy outdoor exposure may want to consider industrial-grade alternatives. Also, if minimal shedding is crucial for a finished piece that will be laundered frequently, test a small sample first.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Our Verdict

For crafters and costume makers who want a plush, wide faux fur that looks luxurious and is easy to cut and sew, this 60 in faux mohair is a strong value.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this fabric warm enough for outerwear?
Yes, the medium-weight shaggy pile adds insulation and a warm feel suitable for trim, collars, and lightweight outerwear accents.

Can I machine wash items made from this fur?
Hand washing or spot cleaning is recommended; always test a scrap first since dense pile and backing can behave differently in water and agitation.

Will the color match photos and stay vibrant?
Customers report the red is true to picture and holds color well, but wash and light exposure may gradually affect brightness over time.
