Soft, plush finish – with CRS fur fabric
CRS fur fabric overlays a Dacron polyester wadding core, producing a short-pile surface over a lightweight batt. The 70gsm density keeps bulk low while preserving an even loft across the panel.

Easy cutting and sewing – with precut 1mtr panels and stable 70gsm weight
Precut panels measure 100cm x 150cm, reducing the need for large initial trimming, while the low 70gsm weight minimises shifting during handling. Smooth surface helps fabric feed evenly through domestic sewing machines.
