This high-quality Velboa faux fur fabric is ideal for crafters, toy makers, and home decor enthusiasts looking for a realistic, durable, and animal-friendly textile. Featuring a sophisticated camel zebra pattern and a soft, low-pile texture, it provides a professional finish for projects ranging from plush toys to cozy cushions. While it is incredibly versatile and machine washable, users should note that the fabric is non-stretch, which requires careful pattern planning during the layout and cutting process.

While it is durable, it is primarily designed for soft furnishings, toys, and crafts rather than heavy-duty furniture upholstery.
No, this is a non-stretch fabric, which makes it very stable for sewing projects like stuffed animals.
Yes, it is excellent for costumes and fancy dress items due to its realistic appearance and durability.
A standard universal needle (size 80/12 or 90/14) is usually sufficient for this weight of fabric.
Yes, it is machine washable. We recommend using a gentle cycle and mild detergent.
The fabric measures 145cm in width.
Use a zigzag stitch or an overlock stitch on the raw edges immediately after cutting to seal the fibers.
Trim the seam allowance after sewing to reduce thickness, or use a slightly longer stitch length to prevent the fabric from bunching.
When preparing to sew with Velboa, use a sharp, universal needle and a medium stitch length to ensure consistent tension. Because the fabric is non-stretch, ensure you align your pattern pieces carefully before cutting. Use plenty of pins or fabric clips to keep layers stable during stitching. For care, wash on a gentle cycle with like colors and avoid using high heat in a tumble dryer, as this can degrade the synthetic fibers over time; air drying is recommended to maintain the fabric's soft hand and sheen.
