Ice Fabrics Faux Fur Fabric by the Yard - 60 in Wide Turquoise

In this review the Ice Fabrics faux fur by the yard is judged as a versatile, craft-friendly shaggy mohair alternative for people who want a warm, fluffy, cruelty-free material without paying for real fur. The single biggest reason to buy is its soft, realistic pile and 60 in width, which makes it easy to cover large projects like rugs, pillows, or costume panels with fewer seams. The review draws on fabric composition, feel, and customer feedback about color and ease of use to give a balanced recommendation.

Key Features

• Luxury feel: The medium-weight shaggy mohair faux fur has a fluffy texture that feels realistic and adds glamour to garments and decor.
• Generous width: At 60 in wide, the fabric covers broad surfaces so users can cut fewer panels for pillows, rugs, or costume pieces.
• Cruelty-free composition: Made from 77% acrylic and 23% polyester, it offers soft, smooth pile without animal products.
• Durable backing: A non-slip polyester backing holds the furs together for repeated use and increased resistance to wear.
• Easy to work with: Customers report the fabric is easy to cut and sew, making it a practical choice for DIY projects and crafts.

Who It's For

The fur fabric is best for crafters, costume makers, and home decorators who want a bold turquoise shaggy look with the convenience of a 60 in width. It suits projects such as throw pillows, rugs, shawls, grinch or mascot costumes, and plush decor where a soft, full pile is desired.

Those who need a very lightweight or zero-shed textile, or who prioritize maximum pile thickness beyond a medium-weight shag, may want to compare samples first, as thickness impressions vary and some users report shedding under heavy use.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Soft, realistic pile that feels warm and luxurious for apparel and decor.
• Wide 60 in width saves time and reduces seams on larger projects.

• Durable non-slip backing allows the fabric to be reused for multiple items.

Cons

• Some users note the fabric can shed noticeably, especially during initial cutting and handling.
