The Evolving Designs From Faux Fur Blanket

By Scott Walker


Fake or fun furs are two other terms for faux fur. Synthetic fibers are materials used for producing this and usually, these are used for clothing. From the year 1929, it became more popular. The production of this has been credited because it has made promotions on the animal rights and as well as for the animal welfare organizations. These are the organizations who considered these as animal friendly products since these are made as alternatives for real fur.

Faux furs are not only used for clothing. Also, used for some fashion accessories, stuffed animals, and some types of home decorations such as bedding, pillows, throws, and faux fur blanket. These are also used in many other projects since it can be done by the use of a sewing machine. An original wool is made thicker compared to fake ones, and this is why it needs a special type of machine, but it can also be sewn by hands.

Recently, this became increasingly popular in fashion designing. Examples of these fashion are winter clothes such as trapper hats and also jackets. There are many famous designers now who have started on promoting their fake fur collections.

These has become more popular for the fashion designers and they are now utilizing it so they can incorporate it with their latest collections. The newest technologies that are invented today have given so much of added techniques and qualities of making it more look original. Fashion designers are now looking forward to including this in their future fashion collections.

Volume and color are the two main factors that makes the designers love to use fake than the real one. And the reason for this is it can be controlled. Unlike real furs, one can choose any shade and can combine any color to it. These are made durable and resistant to attacks from the environment.

Fake furs were produced in many material variations and one of it are polymers. Acrylic and modacrylic, and also some polymer blends are commonly used. Acrylic polymers consist of chemicals that are from limestones, petroleum, water, air, and coals. A secondary monomer may also be added for the improvement of dye absorption to the acrylic fiber. Modacrylic polymers consist of monomers like acrylonitrile and also vinyl chloride.

Both acrylic and modacrylic became so useful in manufacturing the product because they are light in weight and are springy. These have also smoke, sunlight, heat, and soot resistance and as well resistance for mildews and are susceptible on insect attacks. The materials may dry quickly since they are made less absorbent.

Materials such as wool, silk, and mohair helps in improving the look of the garment. The materials which may be used for the backings are wool or cotton with polypropylene. To imitate the true design, designers would match the colors with originals furs.

Aside from those benefits and advantages above, there are other benefits. It includes not using animals as a material, is sewn easily, and no more preservations for deterioration prevention. But it also has disadvantages including no insulation for the skin, used are polymer materials, and may not keep on re freezing snow.
