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

In this review the Ice Fabrics faux fur by the yard is presented for crafters and makers who want a warm, fluffy mohair look without animal fibers; the single biggest reason to buy is the fabric's soft, realistic pile and wide 60 in width that makes it easy to cover larger projects with fewer seams. The reviewer found the charcoal color true to the product image, the texture pleasantly plush, and the medium weight suitable for coats, pillows and rugs while remaining easy to cut and sew for DIY work.

Key Features

• 60 in wide: Wide fabric lets you cut large pattern pieces or cover cushions and small rugs without awkward joins.
• Warm, fluffy pile: The medium-weight shaggy mohair style provides noticeable warmth and a glamorous, textured look for apparel and decor.
• 77% acrylic / 23% polyester: A synthetic blend that delivers a soft hand and smooth finish while avoiding animal materials.
• Durable backing: Non-slip polyester backing helps the fur lay flat, resist shifting, and be reused in patches or cushions.
• Easy to work with: The fabric cuts and sews cleanly for costumes, pillows, trims and craft pieces, making DIY projects straightforward.

Who It's For

Buyers who will get the most value are hobby sewists, costume makers, home decor crafters and small-batch designers looking for a cruelty-free faux fur that looks luxe and covers a lot of area per yard. The 60 in width and medium weight suit projects like throw pillows, trims, petite rugs, shawls and novelty coats where a shaggy mohair look is desired.

Those who should look elsewhere include tailors requiring heavyweight upholstery-grade fur or anyone needing a no-shed guarantee for heavy daily-use upholstery; while this fabric is durable, some customers report light shedding and the pile thickness drew mixed opinions for very plush, high-end replica applications.
