"As a maker myself, I tend to obsess over the specific colors to go with. Collie Clippings is a great resource to compare all the options for your character! Especially those of us who don't want to order and wait on a ton of different swatches from multiple places. Very thorough writeup, and seeing all the swatches in different lighting is a great help! :)"

"I am absolutely blown away by how in depth and informative my swatching service was. They were fast, extremely detailed and very well put together. As a fursuit maker myself, I will be absolutely coming back any time I need fabric swatched for future projects. HIGHLY recommend, fantastic experience."

Who are we?

Howdy! We’re Tay and Lark, longtime members of the furry community. We created Collie Clippings as the result of noticing a distinct lack of information about fur types, colors, and textures being readily available. Consistent accessibility to detailed information about faux fur can be an invaluable resource, especially to first-time and novice makers. We ultimately want to make one of the hardest parts of fursuit making (fur decision paralysis!) significantly more streamlined to anyone who needs it.With 10 years of collective experience in fursuit making, and an enormous library of fur swatches sourced from around the globe in our collection, we are confident we can help you find the most appropriate and color-accurate furs for your project. Whether you’re a seasoned maker, a hobbyist, or a client looking to commission a suit, our informative blogposts and color-matching consultation services are for you!- Tay & Lark

OUR GOAL

Our fur color-swatching service aims to provide you with a hand selected assortment of furs that most accurately match the colors of your character. Therefore, we will provide you with our primary recommendation of furs that most closely align with your provided reference sheet, as well as some alternatives and substitutions to account for potential fur unavailability.

PROCESS

To submit a commission request, you will need a clear, unshaded reference sheet with a color palette (bar/bubble/etc). If you have any special requests (specific fur lengths, supplier origin, etc) you will describe these in the checkout form as well. Additionally, you must provide us with a valid email address in the checkout form so that we may send you your completed product.

RIGHTS OF USE

While our service is primarily used for fursuit commissioners or makers, we don't place any restrictions on the distribution of the written summary or photos; In fact, we encourage you to share!

AVAILABILITY

While we have a very large library of furs to choose from, we are limited by what is currently available and in production. We commit to keeping our collection up to date by removing discontinued items, however, there is an always a possibility of sudden dye lot changes, supplier discontinuations, or supply shortages.

TURNAROUND TIMES

Average turnaround time is within 10 days, but can take up to 20 days maximum. If your commission has not been fulfilled by the 21st day after order, you are eligible to request a full refund at that time. Refunds are not available for any other reason or after the service has been fulfiflled.

QUEUE

By placing an order, you agree to have your project (character's name and reference sheet) be publicly displayed on a Trello board that customers may use to track the progress of their orders. If you do not want your character's name and reference sheet to be included on our Trello for absolutely any reason, please request so in your checkout form and your order ID will be used tp represent your order on the Trello board instead.

A Quick Color-Comparison Board For Howl Fabric's Luxury Shag

Lark and I have been cooking up some fun ideas for Collie Clippings related shenanigans for Megaplex 2025! As a result, we've been rebuilding and re-cataloguing almost all of our fur in the backend (reworking our spreadsheets, rewriting our swatch notes, etc.).We're aware there is a lack of well-lit photos comparing commonly used fur colors from Howl Fabric, one of the USA's biggest suppliers; Howl Fabric's website itself only provides un-zoomable, unlabeled thumbnail images of their swatch packs to rely on. This makes finding furs for a project difficult and tedious to do for free digitally, without spending money and time ordering physical swatches.We thought we would share this collection with you to hopefully make comparing specific colors for your projects a little easier! :DLove y'all!- Tay & Lark
