Faux Fur...

As someone who has worked with real hides I can tell you not only is fake fur cruelty free, it is also symmetrical, free from holes, and available in just about any pattern or color you want.  Running between $20 - $150/yd a two yard piece backed in either lightweight suede or cashmere makes a perfect blanket for your bed or throw for the couch.

You know you want to touch them.

And since I am asked all the time "What do you have?"  My wife and I have three of these we use as bedding, two in suede, one in cashmere.
