Ice Fabrics Faux Fur Fabric by the Yard - Super Soft Lime Green

Our review finds this lime green faux fur fabric best for crafters and costume makers who need a bold, fluffy material that behaves like mohair without animal products. In this review the fabric stands out for its tactile softness and true-to-color appearance, making it an easy choice when warmth, visual impact and easy cutting are priorities. It is especially useful for throw pillows, rugs, novelty costumes and decorative trims where a 60 in width and reusable backing matter most.

Key Features

• Medium-weight shaggy pile: Provides a realistic, fluffy mohair look that adds texture and warmth to garments and home decor.
• 60 in width: Wide layout reduces seams and makes it simple to cut patterns for larger projects like rugs or throw blankets.
• Cruelty-free fiber blend: Made from 77% acrylic and 23% polyester, it delivers softness without animal fur and resists odors.
• Non-slip polyester backing: Helps hold the fur together for repeated use and makes the fabric more durable in craft projects.
• Easy to cut and sew: The pile is manageable for DIY construction, letting crafters splice and finish edges without excessive fraying.

Who It's For

This fabric is ideal for hobby sewers, prop builders and costume designers who want a dramatic lime green pile that is soft to the touch and wide enough for larger pieces. It works well for pillows, plush toys, small rugs, trims, and novelty garments where a bold color and fluffy appearance are the goal.

People seeking ultra-thin upholstery fabric or a completely shed-free, industrial-grade material for heavy commercial use should look elsewhere; some users report moderate shedding and the medium-weight pile is not intended as a substitute for heavy-duty outdoor textiles.
