‍Plush toys are loved by people for their lifelike and cute appearance and soft touch. But do you know what kinds of fabrics are generally used for plush toys? Next, let's learn about it together with the editor of Hahakid.

In fact, there are many materials for plush toys. Common fabrics include long pile ones such as South Korean fleece, peacock fleece, Heim fleece, sheep pen fleece, sunflower fleece V yarn, T yarn, and those used for teddy bears like straw fleece, waterlogged fleece, steam fleece, etc. Medium-length pile ones include noble fleece, polar fleece, coral fleece, etc. Short pile ones include sheared fleece, super soft short fleece, towel fleece, etc. The most common fabrics for plush toys in the market are South Korean fleece, Heim fleece, V yarn (more used in simulation animal toys), sheep pen fleece, coral fleece, super soft short fleece, sheared fleece, etc. The following is a detailed introduction to two commonly used fabrics for plush toys:

1. Short pile velvet fabric

Short pile velvet fabric is an excellent material for making toys and is currently one of the most fashionable fabrics in the international market. The surface of this fabric is covered with upright pile, with a height of about 1.2mm, forming a smooth pile surface, hence the name "velvet".

Characteristics of short pile velvet:

The surface of corduroy is densely covered with upright pile, so it feels soft and has good elasticity and a gentle luster. It is not easy to wrinkle. The pile is thick and the surface pile can form an air layer, thus providing good warmth retention.

The appearance of short plush: The appearance of high-quality short plush should meet the requirements of full and upright pile, even and dense, smooth and flat surface, soft color, low directionality, soft and smooth hand feel, and good elasticity.

This kind of fabric is mostly used to make plush toys featuring cartoon characters and plants. Due to the short length of the plush, it is less likely to shed. Plants themselves do not have hair like animals, and the short pile fabric can better display the characteristics of plants, achieving a high degree of realism. The same applies to cartoon characters, except for some special ones.

II. Fleece Fabric

This type of fabric is made by combining filament technology and artificial fur technology. The mainstream product is made from polyester filament. The newly developed fabric integrates filament technology and artificial fur technology, featuring a unique style and strong three-dimensional effect. It can both display elegance and nobility, as well as convey tenderness and beauty.

This type of fabric is mostly used to make plush toys of animals with a lot of long hair, such as plush teddy bears and plush rabbits. This can better show the simulation of plush toys, and the degree of realism will be greatly enhanced.

The main fabrics for general plush toys are the two mentioned above, namely short pile velvet and long pile velvet. Some plush toys are themed around machines. These can also be made of short pile velvet fabric, but for some robot-like figures, using polyester fabric can better reflect the characteristics of robots. The choice of fabric for plush toys depends on the specific image of the plush toy. Different images require different plush fabrics.
