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

In this review of the Ice Fabrics faux fur fabric, the bottom line is simple: this 60 in wide shaggy mohair is best for DIY decorators and costume makers who want a warm, very fluffy look without animal fur. The fabric's medium-weight pile and noticeably soft hand make it an obvious choice for throw pillows, rugs, shawls, and costume trims, while the wide 60 in width lets you cut larger pieces with fewer seams. It reads and sews like a reusable faux fur and offers a clear style upgrade when realistic look and warmth matter.

Key Features

• Warm and fluffy: The medium-weight shaggy pile traps air and feels warm to the touch, making it suitable for cold-weather apparel and cozy home accents.
• Realistic texture: The mohair-style shag has a soft, smooth surface that looks luxurious on pillows and decorative pieces.
• Cruelty-free construction: Made from 77% acrylic and 23% polyester, it offers a fur-like appearance without animal products.
• Durable backing: A non-slip polyester backing holds the fur together for repeated use and easier handling during projects.
• Large width and flexible lengths: The 60 in width and multiple available yard lengths reduce seams and simplify cutting for larger DIY items.
• Easy to work with: The fabric is simple to cut, splice, and sew for home sewing projects and costume construction.

Who It's For

Craft enthusiasts, costume designers, and home sewers who want a plush, glamorous look will appreciate this faux fur. Its 60 in width is particularly helpful for makers sewing throw blankets, large pillows, or full-size costume pieces because it minimizes seams and waste. The soft hand and realistic sheen make it a good match for decorative trims, plush toys, and novelty garments.

Those who need ultra-lightweight or technical outdoor fabrics should look elsewhere, since this is a medium-weight indoor-focused faux fur. Also, buyers sensitive to shedding or expecting carpet-grade thickness should note some customers report noticeable shedding and mixed opinions on pile thickness.
