Care Instructions

1. Wash: Machine wash on gentle cycle with cold water. Use mild detergent — no bleach or fabric softener.
2. Dry: Air dry flat or hang dry. Avoid high heat — tumble drying can damage the pile.
3. Brush: Once fully dry, brush gently with a wide-tooth comb in the direction of the pile to restore volume.
4. Store: Hang or roll — never fold for extended periods, as this can crush the 2.5" pile.

Cutting & Sewing Tips

• Cut from the backing side using a razor blade or craft knife — never scissors through the pile
• Use a walking foot or roller foot on your sewing machine for even feeding
• Pin within seam allowances to avoid visible holes in the pile
• After sewing, use a pin to gently pull trapped fibers out of seam lines

Frequently Asked Questions

How many yards of chocolate faux fur do I need?

For small accessories like scarves or pom-poms, 1/2 to 1 yard is enough. A vest or bolero needs 2-3 yards. A full-length coat requires 4-5 yards. For throw blankets (50x60"), plan for 2-3 yards depending on overlap.

Is this fabric machine washable?

Yes. Machine wash cold on gentle cycle with mild detergent. Skip the dryer — air dry and brush with a wide-tooth comb once fully dry to restore the pile.

Can I dye chocolate faux fur a different color?

Chocolate brown can be dyed to darker shades like espresso or black using synthetic fabric dye. Lighter colors are not achievable from this dark base. See our faux fur dyeing guide.

What makes the 80/20 blend better than 100% acrylic?

The 20% polyester adds structural reinforcement — better pile memory (resists permanent crushing), improved color retention, and longer lifespan under heavy use. Pure acrylic tends to mat and flatten faster over time.

Is this the same fabric used for fursuits?

Yes. Our 2.5" shaggy faux fur is popular for fursuit construction, mascot costumes, and cosplay. The long pile provides realistic volume, and the reinforced backing handles the stress of fitted costume construction. See our costume fabric guide.

Do you offer bulk or wholesale pricing?

Yes. We offer rolls up to 30 yards with volume pricing. For larger orders, visit our wholesale fabric collection.
