Shaggy Faux Fur Fabric by the Yard 60 in Wide - Fluffy Long Pile

In this review the reviewer looks at a shaggy faux fur fabric sold by the yard that aims to serve crafters, costume makers, and upholsterers who need a plush, long-pile material in generous widths. The biggest reason to consider this fabric is practical: it is cut to order in continuous 36 in by 60 in pieces, so projects that need seamless panels - like full-size blankets, photo backdrops, or large costume panels - benefit immediately. The fabric delivers a realistic, soft shag without the maintenance or expense of real fur, making it an accessible option for many sewists and DIY makers.

Key Features

• Sold by the yard & cut to order: Each unit is a continuous 36 in by 60 in piece, which keeps seams to a minimum and simplifies layout for large projects.
• 60 in wide: The generous width covers wider areas without needing extra joins, useful for jackets, throws, rugs, and backdrops.
• Ultra-soft long pile: Made from synthetic fibers, the shaggy pile feels plush and provides realistic texture for costumes and decorative pieces.
• Versatile for many uses: It is suitable for cosplay, stuffed animals, pet beds, upholstery accents, and home decor where a soft, fluffy look is desired.
• Durable and easy to work with: The material cuts and sews cleanly and is designed to resist excessive shedding, which keeps projects neater during construction.

Who It's For

This fabric is aimed at hobby sewists, costume designers, and crafters who need a plush, long-pile faux fur that arrives in continuous yardage for larger pieces. The 60 in width makes it especially attractive to makers of blankets, large garment panels, or photographic backdrops where seams are undesirable.

People who require true heavyweight or thick upholstery fur for heavy-use seating or industrial applications may want to consider heavier home-decor fabrics instead, since some buyers have noted the material is not very thick even while it remains soft and attractive.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Soft, luxurious long-pile feel that photographs and costumes benefit from.
• Cut-to-order continuous yardage eliminates awkward seams for many projects.
• Wide 60 in width reduces the need for joining panels on larger pieces.

Cons

• Color accuracy can vary compared with photos, so match carefully for critical projects.
• Some customers expect heavier fabric weight; the material is plush but not very thick.
