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.


Far-Out Fabrics- Plush Cuddle Furs!


This page is filled to the brim with warm, cuddly, fuzzy fabrics. These are perfect for wrapping yourself up with on a cold winter night. They are also great for a quilt backing, a throw for your couch or a fuzzy, wuzzy costume.

And we have lots of other fake furs for you too!.

  • Shorter furs ---- shorter fake furs, solids and prints....
  • Long Haired furs-- longer haired fake furs, solids and prints....
  • The plush cuddle furs are not returnable. If you are trying to decide between a couple of different fabrics, 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 fabric. 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 .
  • Velvet fur-This really isn't a fur, but its not a velvet either. Its a bit of a hybrid. It is super short (2mm pile if that means anything to you). It almost feels like velvet. This would be wonderful for a cape or curtains because it has a nice weight to it without any bulk. This is 100% polyester so you can feel free to toss it in the washing machine and dryer.

    60" wide, $9.95/yd
    Ivoryyards camelyards Scarletyards
    Cuddles Light-This is very smooth, sleek and downright cuddly! This would be great for the back of a quilt where you want something cushy, but don't want to add bulk. This style is a little bit thinner than the regular cuddles. The pile is 3mm. This is 100% polyester so you can feel free to toss it in the washing machine and dryer.

    Swirly Cuddles-This is seriously the coolest stuff.... smooth to the touch, a little bit shiny with little swirls that look like little tornadoes. The people we get this from call it rose cuddles, but I think swirls are cooler. Each little swirl is about 3/4" across.

    Paisley Cuddles-There is something retro and yet very current about paisley. I can't quite put my finger on it. I can tell you that not only is this fabric soft, but there is an added tactile experience with the high and low parts of the fabric.

    Cuddle Fleece-This fabric is the texture of a well-loved sweatshirt. It is napped on both sides, so there is not right or wrong way to use it. Now, I don't go to the spa very often, but the word on the street is that they like to make spa robes out of the fabric.

    Lil' polkadots-- This is a super soft fabric with different sized white spots scattered about. The polkadots are about the size of a pencil eraser. The spots are always white, the background changes color.

    PIECES, SWATCHES and SAMPLES!

    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.
