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.

This page has all of the longer fake furs on it. These fake furs are all over an inch.

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....
  • 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 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. In the ordering portion of each fur you will see a green highlighted column. If you are purchasing more than 5 yards of a fur (that means one color, one style) order from the green highlighted box to get the discounted 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 $24.95 per yard; 5 yards or more $19.96 per yard

    PIECES, SWATCHES and SAMPLES!


    Bits and Pieces of Fur!
    Bags of swatches
    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 lots of little extra swatches. We cram these into a sandwich size ziplock bag and sell them. People who work with kids, or make puppets, or collage-a-holics love these! These are bags of assorted swatches-- no picking or choosing (sorry)
    $1.50 per bag
    Bag of fur swatches
    Pound of Fur Squares
    Are you craving an assortment of fur? At the end of the roll, we are often left with smallish pieces which won't stay rolled. We cut these into squares (rectangles actually). Each piece is about 13" x 12". Sometimes they are narrower and longer. Sometimes they are long skinny "tails". In this assortment you will get a pound of assorted fur pieces-- the equivalent of about 3/4 yard of fur if you pieced them all together (which might look a bit odd...) You will get assorted furs-- no picking or choosing (sorry). These fur squares may be any of the furs on our website. If you are buying other fur, we will TRY and choose ones which you did not purchase-- no promises though.
    $25.00. per pound.... sold in pound increments only (this is not sliced turkey)

    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.
