In this review of Ice Fabrics Faux Fur Fabric by the Yard, the fabric proves best for crafters and home sewers who want a warm, fluffy faux fur that looks and feels luxurious without animal products. The single biggest reason to buy is the cloths realistic shaggy mohair texture combined with a wide 60 in cutting width that makes it easy to cut large pieces for pillows, rugs, or costume trims. The review covers how it handles sewing, durability, and everyday use based on the product details and customer feedback.

Key Features

• Luxurious texture: The medium-weight shaggy mohair pile gives a realistic, plush feel that adds elegance to garments and decor.
• Warmth: The dense faux fur traps warmth well, making it suitable for cold-weather accessories like shawls and trims.
• Cruelty-free composition: Made from 77% acrylic and 23% polyester, the fabric offers a soft, smooth surface without animal fur.
• Durable backing: The non-slip polyester backing holds the pile together for repeated use and helps the material resist normal wear.
• Wide format options: At 60 in wide and sold by the yard in multiple lengths, it simplifies cutting large projects and reduces seams.
• Easy to work with: The pile is easy to cut and sew, which helps hobbyists and pros create cushions, rugs, and costumes quickly.

Who It's For

This faux fur is ideal for DIY sewers, prop makers, and home decor crafters who need a wide, fluffy fabric for pillows, throw rugs, costume trims like grinch or muppet-style pieces, and outerwear accents. The 60 in width and realistic pile are particularly useful when you want fewer seams on large pieces.

It may be less suitable for projects that require ultra-heavy-duty, outdoor upholstery where abrasion resistance is critical, or for buyers who demand zero shedding under heavy daily use; some customers reported more shedding than others, so those needing perfectly stable pile for constant high-traffic use should test a sample first.
