Looking for short fur - how about velboa? or felt?
11 years ago
Hi,
I'm looking into making a lime green dinosaur fursuit and I think I will still put fur on it because it's the best to hide the sewing lines.
After researching a bit online, I found two fabrics that could fit the deal: Felt and Velboa.
I find that velboa seems to be a win win: less expensive, softer, pretty resistant.
Is there any downside to it.
And do you guys know of places I could purchase it from in Canada?
I have found a good place in the US: fabricempire.com, but shipping makes it a tad expensive.
Thanks for your advices.

Maybe check out fleece. It's fairly common. The "Muppet fabric" I was telling you about is apparently called Antron fleece.
Check out this website to see what working with it would be like http://www.projectpuppet.com/servle.....leece-tutorial
I think I'll give velboa a try. Their desc mentions it being meant for costumes, so, cannot really go wrong, even if I spend a few more $$$
Thanks!
