What are faux fur fabrics?
Faux fur fabrics, also known as imitation fur, are textiles designed to mimic the look and feel of real fur, but without using animals. These fabrics are becoming increasingly popular in the fashion industry and for interior decoration because of their warm, soft texture and animal-friendly character. Unlike real fur, faux fur fabrics can be produced in all kinds of colors and patterns, with short or long-haired shear, making them perfect for both functional and fashionable applications.
The production of faux fur fabrics
The production of faux fur fabrics usually starts with a synthetic material, such as polyester or acrylic, which is processed to create a fluffy, hairy structure. Depending on the type of imitation fur, such as teddy fabric, the texture can vary from short and structured to long and wavy. The base of the fabric is often made of woven or knitted material onto which the fibers are secured. Modern techniques ensure that the appearance of faux fur fabrics is becoming increasingly realistic, without the use of animal products.
The properties of faux fur fabrics
Faux fur fabrics are known for their heat-insulating properties, making them ideal for winter clothing such as coats and scarves. They feel soft and luxurious, which also makes them popular for atmospheric and interior applications such as cushions or throws. Depending on the composition, faux fur fabrics can be slightly elastic, providing extra comfort when worn. In addition, most faux fur fabrics are easy to maintain and wrinkle-resistant, meaning they last a long time with little effort.
Working with faux fur fabrics
Cutting
Cutting faux fur fabrics requires a bit of extra care. Always use sharp fabric shears or a rotary cutter to prevent the fibers from getting damaged. For the best results, cut the fabric with the pile facing down, so you can see the backing layer and do not have to work through the fluffy top. This also prevents you from accidentally cutting off a portion of the fur fibers, which can lead to uneven edges.
Sewing
When sewing faux fur fabrics, it is important to use a sturdy sewing machine and a universal needle. For thicker faux fur fabrics, a special roller foot can be helpful to prevent the fabric from jamming. TIP: Make sure as much as possible that the fibers/hairs stay out of the seam by pushing the pile away before running the fabric through the machine. This creates a less visible separation line.
Care of faux fur fabrics
Washing
Faux fur fabrics can usually be washed at a low temperature, such as 30 degrees, but it is always advisable to check the specific washing instructions on our website first. Use a mild detergent and a delicate wash cycle to prevent the structure of the fabric from being affected.
Drying
When drying faux fur fabrics, it is recommended to let the fabric air dry. Do not use a dryer, as the heat can damage the fibers or cause them to lose their shape. Lay the fabric down flat, but do not place it over a radiator or other heat source.
Ironing
Ironing is not necessary for faux fur fabrics. Should it still be necessary to remove creases, always iron at a low temperature and on the inside of the fabric. Use a pressing cloth (or tea towel) if necessary to avoid direct contact with the fibers and prevent damage.
