Frequently Asked Questions

How many yards of dark olive faux fur do I need?

Accessories: 1/2-1 yard. Vest or bolero: 2-3 yards. Full coat: 4-5 yards. Throw blanket (50x60"): 2-3 yards.

Is this fabric machine washable?

Yes. Cold water, gentle cycle, mild detergent. Air dry and brush with a wide-tooth comb to restore pile.

Can I dye dark olive faux fur?

Dark olive can be dyed to deeper greens or black. Lighter shades are not achievable from this base. See our dyeing guide.

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

The 20% polyester adds better pile memory, improved color retention, and longer lifespan. Pure acrylic mats and flattens faster over time.
