Go For Faux: The Facts

This fiber boasts an unbeatably soft texture, which makes it perfect for fashion accessories and also trimming your home decor items. You can reach for Go For Faux when planning a new hat or cowl, or take your afghan or pillow to the next level by adding a stylish fringe with this interesting yarn. It’s 100% Polyester, and no animals were harmed in the spinning of this very realistic-looking yarn. It’s a CYC 6 Super Bulky weight yarn, but feels infinitely lighter. Plus, each skein has ample yardage: 64yds per each 100g skein. In terms of colors, there are 4 more traditionally ‘fur’ shades, plus two icy pastels for a more high-fashion look. The price point will give you that always-coveted ‘fur’ look, without hurting your crafting budget or your conscience.
