The Minerva Core Range Lambskin Sherpa Fleece Fur Fabric is an ideal choice for makers and crafters looking for a high-quality, insulating textile for apparel and home decor. Best suited for jackets, gilets, and soft toys, this fabric offers a luxurious, cozy finish in a rich Bordeaux shade while remaining surprisingly lightweight and crease-resistant. While it provides excellent warmth and durability, users should be aware that the synthetic nature of the fleece requires specific handling to maintain its texture over multiple washes.

Yes, it is relatively easy to work with, though it is recommended to practice on a scrap piece to get comfortable with the thickness.
Yes, all fabric is cut from the roll as one continuous piece according to the length ordered.
Absolutely, its insulating properties make it an excellent choice for lining jackets and winter coats.
While the fabric is soft and tactile, ensure all seams are reinforced securely if used for items intended for small children.
Avoid direct ironing on the fur side. Press seams lightly from the wrong side with a low-heat setting if absolutely necessary.
Use a sharp rotary cutter and cut on the back side of the fabric to avoid slicing through the pile fibers.
Increase your stitch length and consider using a walking foot on your sewing machine to help feed the fabric evenly.
Once dry, gently brush the fabric with a soft-bristled garment brush to lift the fibers and restore the original fluffy appearance.
To ensure the best results, use a universal or jersey needle depending on your machine setup. When sewing, use a slightly longer stitch length to accommodate the thickness of the fleece, which helps prevent puckering.
Care instructions are straightforward: machine wash at 40C. Avoid using harsh chemical bleaches or high-heat tumble drying, as this can degrade the soft texture of the sherpa. Air drying is highly recommended to preserve the loft and density of the fur fibers. Always store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent potential color fading in the Bordeaux pigment.
