Ice Fabrics Faux Fur Fabric by the Yard - 60 in Wide Light Brown 2

In this review the Ice Fabrics faux fur by the yard is evaluated for crafters, costume makers, and home sewers who want a warm, shaggy mohair look without animal fur. The biggest reason to consider it is its soft, fluffy texture that closely imitates real fur while remaining cruelty-free; it works well for pillows, rugs, trim, and wearable accents. For anyone needing a wide, reusable panel of faux fur that is easy to cut and sew, this fabric is a practical, stylish choice.

Key Features

• 60 in width: Provides a wide, continuous piece that minimizes seams for larger projects like rugs or blanket trims.
• Medium-weight shaggy pile: The mohair-style shag gives a realistic fluffy appearance and retains warmth for apparel and accessories.
• 77% acrylic, 23% polyester: A blend that feels soft to the touch, resists strong odors, and should be easier to care for than delicate natural fur.
• Non-slip polyester backing: Holds the pile together for repeated use and helps the fabric maintain shape in home decor applications.
• Easy to cut and sew: The pile splices cleanly for DIY projects, making it suitable for pillows, costumes, and craftwork without advanced tools.
• Available in many colors and sizes: Multiple lengths from half yard to 2.5 yards and a broad color range let you match decor or costume palettes.

Who It's For

The fabric is ideal for hobby sewists, costume designers, and crafters who need a wide, realistic-looking faux fur for accents, pillows, or small rugs. It suits projects that benefit from a fluffier, mohair-style pile and where cruelty-free materials are preferred. The wide 60 in width particularly helps people making larger items without awkward seams.

Those who should look elsewhere include professionals needing upholstery-grade backing for heavy-use furniture and buyers who require absolutely no shedding for high-traffic carpets; some customers reported variable shedding and thickness, so ultra-high durability applications may need sturdier industrial options.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Soft, realistic pile that adds an elegant, luxurious look to home decor and wearables.
• Wide 60 in panels reduce seams and simplify larger projects like rugs and throws.

• Non-slip polyester backing increases reusability and keeps the fur aligned during use.

Cons

• Some customers report noticeable shedding, so expect to trim loose fibers after cutting.
