What Is Faux Fur Fabric?
Faux fur fabric is a luxurious synthetic textile designed to imitate the softness, warmth, and appearance of real animal fur. Manufactured primarily from polyester, acrylic, or modacrylic fibers, faux fur offers the rich texture and insulating qualities of natural fur while remaining cruelty-free and more affordable. Available in varying pile lengths and patterns, faux fur has become a staple in fashion, interior design, costume production, and crafts.
Tie dye and rainbow faux fur fabrics add a vibrant, artistic twist to this classic textile, blending vivid color patterns with plush texture to create a bold visual and tactile experience.
What Is Tie Dye & Rainbow Faux Fur Fabric?
Tie dye faux fur fabric features swirling, multicolor patterns inspired by traditional tie dye techniques, applied to soft synthetic fur bases. These patterns can range from pastel blends to neon explosions, offering a unique fusion of vintage artistry and modern textile innovation.
Rainbow faux fur fabric takes this a step further, displaying graduated or segmented bands of multiple colors across the fur surface. Rainbow patterns can be linear, spiral, or abstract, and are often crafted on specialty pile fabrics like shaggy or Mongolian faux fur to maximize visual drama.
At Fabric Base Inc., we offer an extensive range of tie dye and rainbow faux fur fabrics across several pile lengths and styles including minky, velboa, plush, shaggy, and Mongolian faux fur, catering to every creative need.
Types of Tie Dye & Rainbow Faux Fur Fabric
Tie Dye Minky Faux Fur
Tie dye minky faux fur boasts a medium pile with an ultra-soft, velvety surface. This fabric drapes beautifully, making it a favorite for blankets, apparel linings, plush accessories, and cozy wearables. The tie dye patterns on minky fabric offer a subtle blend of colors with a smooth texture.
Tie Dye Velboa Faux Fur
Velboa tie dye faux fur has a shorter, denser pile that is firm and easy to handle. This fabric delivers sharp, vibrant patterns that maintain clarity even after repeated use. Its durability makes it ideal for costumes, bags, upholstery, and structured craft projects.
Tie Dye Plush Faux Fur
Plush tie dye faux fur combines a thick, luxurious pile with vivid multi-hued patterns. The plush depth provides warmth and softness with enhanced volume, suitable for throws, pillows, winter accessories, and statement apparel.
Long Pile Tie Dye Faux Fur
Long pile tie dye faux fur features fibers exceeding one inch in length, creating dramatic texture and movement. This version is perfect for costumes, theatrical wear, oversized fashion pieces, and high-impact interior accents.
Shaggy Tie Dye & Rainbow Faux Fur
Shaggy faux fur is characterized by its very long, loose fibers that create a wild, textured look. When paired with tie dye or rainbow coloring, shaggy faux fur becomes an eye-catching textile often used in avant-garde fashion, statement home décor, and high-energy costumes.
Mongolian Tie Dye & Rainbow Faux Fur
Mongolian faux fur mimics the curly, lustrous locks of Mongolian sheep wool. It is usually curly or wavy and has a mid-to-long pile length. When combined with tie dye or rainbow hues, Mongolian faux fur offers an exotic and highly tactile fabric ideal for luxury fashion, throws, and unique decor pieces.
Pile Lengths and Their Impact on Tie Dye & Rainbow Faux Fur
Pile length significantly influences the look, feel, and use of faux fur fabric:
-
Short pile (1–3 mm): Found in velboa fabrics, short piles offer a smooth surface with clear pattern definition. Ideal for upholstery, costume elements requiring precision, and crafts.
-
Medium pile (4–10 mm): Common in minky and plush types, medium pile offers softness with volume, perfect for blankets, apparel, and accessories.
-
Long pile (11 mm and above): Present in long pile, shaggy, and Mongolian faux furs, long piles add dramatic movement and lifelike fur appearance. These are favored for theatrical costumes, statement coats, and bold interior pieces.
Each pile length lends itself to different design needs and aesthetic preferences.
Tie Dye vs. Rainbow Faux Fur: What’s the Difference?
While both styles are colorful and artistic, tie dye faux fur typically features irregular, swirling color patterns inspired by traditional tie dye techniques. The colors blend and bleed into one another creating soft transitions and organic shapes.
Rainbow faux fur, on the other hand, showcases distinct bands or gradients of colors resembling a rainbow spectrum. The color zones can be sharp or blended but usually follow a more linear or segmented format. Rainbow faux fur often uses bolder, more saturated colors arranged in a deliberate sequence.
