Swatch Policy--

We know that sometimes you need to see the exact color of a fabic, or feel it to know if it will work. Swatches are the fabric stores answer to that problem. Swatches are small pieces (normally around 1" x 2") that we can provide. On large prints, you will only get a portion of the total design, but when you combine that with the pictures and info on our website you should have a pretty complete picture. We can send you up to 5 swatches at no cost. If you are interested, use our handy swatch request form.



Faux Fur- LONGER FAKE FURS!


fur monsterfur monsterfur monster

Our fur monster watches over us, making sure that nothing bad happens to our fur.

All of the furs on this page are either acrylic or modaacrylic. They can be washed by hand or in the machine on gentle. Do not put them in the dryer unless you would like a melted mess. You may notice that washing the furs may change the hand (texture and over all look) of the furs. This will be much more obvious on the longer, shaggier furs. If you want to retain the same texture and look it is advised that you dryclean your fake fur. As always, washing a sample ahead of time is advised.

This page has all of the longer fake furs on it. These fake furs are all over an 1 1/2" (give or take).

Patterns and solids, bright and natural looking... its all here.

But we have lots more fur for you.

  • Plush fabrics -- cuddly and fuzzy, shorter than these furs...
  • Shorter Fake Furs furs-- shorter fake furs, solids and prints....
  • Fake Furs on Sale-- great prices until they are gone....
  • The fake furs are not returnable. If you are trying to decide between a couple of different furs, why not ask us for some swatches. We can send you up to five swatches at no cost. They are big enough to get a feel for the texture and a better idea of what color it is. Just use our Request Form .

    Note: There is a 1/2yd minimum cut for each fur. After that you can buy in 1/4yd increments. Orders under 1/2 yard will automatically be increased to the minimum.
    1/4= .25
    1/2= .5
    3/4= .75

    When you are all done, find the little "buy" button near the bottom of the page and press it. This will start the ordering process.

    A note about colors!

    --

    We have spent a lot of time choosing swatches that appear to be close to the actual color on our screen. The color YOU see is affected by 3 things--
  • your screen-- things like age, and color balance
  • your environment-- if you are sitting by a window, if you have natural light, if you are in a dungeon
  • your vision-- Color is a very subjective thing. It is influenced by things around it as well as your interpretation of it. 8% of males, and 1% of females (myself included) are at least partially color blind (many don't even know it). Use the color swatches as a guide. Remember we can send up to 5 swatches at no cost so you can see the real deal. Just use our handy Request Form .
  • Quantity discounts!


    If you are purchasing 5 or more yards (that means one color, one style-- basically we need to be able to roll it off of one roll of fake fur) of a fur you are eligible for the quantity discount on that piece of fur. The discount is 20% off of the everyday per yard price.

    Now the details on what we stock.

    Punky Muppet--This fur is a medium length shag. The fur is 1" long. It is very soft with a chaotic (in a good way)look to it. This fur has lots of personality, where as the shag looks like monster (in a good way, of course)fur.
    60" wide. Under 5 yards $26.95 per yard; 5 yards or more $21.56 per yard
    We can fit between 5 and 5 1/2 yards of punky muppet fur into each box. If you are ordering a large piece, please specify in the special comment box what size pieces would work best for you if we have to split the yardage.
    And one note about colors: The flourescent colors may not appear brighter when viewed under normal light but they are amazing under a black light!

    Shag Fur-

    The nap is about 2 5/8" long at its longest. But just like the hair on your head the length of the hairs varies from about 2" to the longest length of 2 5/8". In contrast to some of the other furs that we carry this is a smoother fur that lays pretty flat. Think hairy not fuzzy or furry. Think troll hair.

    PIECES, SWATCHES and SAMPLES!


    Bits and Pieces of Fur!
    Fur tails
    Need lots of little pieces, but don't care what they are? When we discontinue furs (or when they are disontinued on us!) we end up with partial fur strips. We group them together in a random sort of way. The strips are about 2-3" wide. You get the equivalent of 100" running-- but it is not continuous. People who work with kids, or make puppets, or collage-a-holics love these! These are assorted -- no picking or choosing (sorry)
    $3.59 per bunch
    Bag of fur swatches
    Fur remnants
    Are you craving an assortment of fur? These bundles are the perfect choice when you want us to choose for you! You will get a bundle of fur remnants. There are 6 pieces of fur, each is 13" x 14". Some of these are furs that we stock, some are special purchases we have made that you will only find in the bundles. No 2 bundles are the same.

    What is a swatch? A swatch is a small piece of fabric about 1" x 3". It can help you decide if a certain fabric will work for your project. You can use it in the same way you use one of those paint chip papers you get a the hardware store. It gives you an idea of what the fabric looks like, and you get to feel the texture. We try our best to describe the fabrics well, but somethings are difficult to put into words.
    If there is something here that has piqued your interest, we can send you up to 5 swatches free.
    Click here for our handy SWATCH REQUEST FORM and we will pop them in the mail for you.
    If you have already been sent free swatches or need more than 5, we have swatch sets available.
    Check out the swatch set page for details and the chance to order.

    We cut the fabric. Cut fur or fabric is not returnable. If you have any questions about what you are ordering, please request a swatch using the swatch request form so you can verify that it is what you want before you order it.
