I popped into Fabricland over at Northland Mall yesterday, and came out with bundles of fur! wooo!
Fabricland normally has a really poor selection of fur, but it looks like they got in a shipment of some really nice luxury fur. It isn't on rolls unfortunately, it was in bundles over in the section by the fleece, most of the bundles were about 2 meters x 1.5 meters, at $25/meter.
The most of the fur is beautiful 2 tone fur, in various lengths, I got some beautiful black and grey wolf, and mixed brown coyote fur, and some 3 inch long white shaggy fur.
If you are in need of nice fur without having to pay the outrageous shipping costs, I suggest you check out your nearest fabricland... before I buy it all.

I used to ALWAYS go to FabricLand for fur.... ..But then it failed me......It failed me  ..... ...But I suppose I have nowhere else to get fur other than the interwebs, So I'll probably continue going  The FabricLand in Vancouver usually has some good fur whenever I'm there..

There was a buckskin color, however the downy under color was blue. If you shaved it the blue would show through too much.

How long was the pile? If it's short enough I may be able to pull off saying it's a horse in winter xD

^_^;;; I'll probably buy whatever is left, if I find a good color I can always sell it to you. I have a membership, so I usually get products at a discount anyway.

I went back to fabricland today.... I think I may have a problem...my closet:  I found some buckskin fur, but didn't buy any, the pile was maybe 1/4"   There was 2 meters of a more yellowish fur with an 1" pile in the luxury bin, sorry it didn't photograph well..  When in doubt, Fenris, we can always stop by Fabricland when we make a trip to the plastics store... whenever you wanna go

The most of the fur is beautiful 2 tone fur, in various lengths, I got some beautiful black and grey wolf, and mixed brown coyote fur, and some 3 inch long white shaggy fur. Woot! I worked at one of the Winnipeg Fabriclands until July of this year... The best times to find fur there is in mid-to-late August, as you've already found out. It's when we get our shipment of the Hallowe'en and Christmas costume stuff.  also, ask about the winter shipment of fleeces- there's usually a selection of fun colours and textures in those- some great piled fabrics and wonderfully soft stuff. Some neat patterns, too. Heh, I recognized the two-toned purple fur with the floral patterns. I have two metres of that neatness myself. Working at the store gave me some pretty snazzy discounts. your closet looks like mine, too- big piles of fabric in there. I keep mine in bags, 'cuz three cats make it very difficult to keep their hair out.
