Choosing a plush fabric involves more than comparing color cards or checking a single swatch. For B2B buyers, the production process behind the fabric can affect surface consistency, softness, stretch, color matching and the reliability of future bulk orders.
This short factory tour takes you inside Bluehole Textile in Changzhou, Jiangsu, China. It shows several stages involved in plush fabric production and supply, including workshop operations, finishing equipment, fabric storage and finished material presentation.
Watch Our Plush Fabric Factory Tour
The video introduces several fabrics from our current range, including spandex super soft, crystal super soft and faux rabbit fur. It also highlights available customization options such as color, GSM, width and surface pattern.
A short video can provide an initial view of the workshop and fabric surface, but buyers should still confirm the final material through a physical sample and an agreed technical specification before bulk production.
What Happens Inside a Plush Fabric Factory?
Different plush fabrics require different yarns, knitting structures and finishing settings. However, a typical production program involves several connected stages.
1. Material and Production Preparation
The performance of a finished plush fabric begins with the yarn and fabric construction. Yarn uniformity, elasticity, strength and dyeing behavior can influence the surface appearance and batch consistency of the finished material.
Before production, the intended application should be reviewed together with the required composition, GSM, width, pile height, stretch and hand feel. Matching these details early helps reduce unnecessary sample revisions later.
Learn more about our raw material control for plush fabric production.
2. Warping and Warp Knitting
Many plush and fleece structures are produced using warp-knitting equipment. During this stage, yarn arrangement, machine tension, fabric density and production stability must be monitored carefully.
The required construction depends on the intended product. A stretch fabric for shaped toys or garments, for example, may need different yarn and knitting settings from a fuller faux-fur fabric intended for blankets or cushions.
Bluehole Textile uses warp-knitting equipment for multiple fabric structures, including rabbit fur-like plush, fleece, flannel and other specialty plush materials.

3. Dyeing and Surface Finishing
The unfinished fabric receives much of its final appearance and hand feel during dyeing and finishing.
Depending on the fabric and project requirements, this stage may include:
- Color matching and lab-dip approval
- Bulk dyeing
- Washing and softening
- Raising and brushing
- Embossing or surface pattern development
- Pile and hand-feel adjustment
- Fabric inspection
Color references should be confirmed before bulk dyeing. Buyers can provide a Pantone reference or a physical color sample, but the approved lab dip and fabric standard should remain the final production reference.

4. Inspection, Storage and Delivery Preparation
After finishing, the fabric should be checked against the approved requirements. Inspection may include surface appearance, color, usable width, GSM, pile direction, backing condition and visible defects.
The final inspection standard should be agreed according to the fabric type and finished application. Packing, roll length, labels, shipping marks and delivery requirements should also be confirmed before dispatch.
The factory tour shows both production areas and stored fabrics, reflecting our support for ready-stock selection as well as made-to-order programs.
Plush Fabrics Featured in the Video
Spandex Super Soft Plush
Spandex super soft plush combines a compact, smooth surface with useful stretch and recovery. Depending on the selected construction and weight, it may be considered for plush toys, shaped soft products, cushions, garments, pajamas and related applications.
For stretch projects, buyers should confirm the stretch direction, expected elongation, recovery, usable width and sewing behavior.
Crystal Super Soft Plush
Crystal super soft is known for its smooth pile and light-responsive surface. It can provide a clean, soft appearance for toys, blankets, home textiles, apparel and decorative products.
Although crystal super soft and spandex super soft may appear similar in some videos or photographs, they should not be treated as interchangeable. Stretch, drape, construction and finishing can differ.
Faux Rabbit Fur
Faux rabbit fur provides a denser and fuller plush surface. Depending on its pile, weight and finish, it may be used for blankets, throws, cushions, stuffed toys, apparel, accessories and decorative textile products.
Available surface directions can include smooth, patterned, embossed, washed or curled effects. The correct option should be selected according to the finished-product design and required hand feel.
What Can B2B Buyers Customize?
Bluehole Textile supports ready-stock selection and custom fabric development. Available options depend on the selected construction, quantity and production plan.
| Specification | Customization options |
|---|---|
| Color | Stock colors, Pantone matching or physical-sample matching |
| GSM | Adjusted according to fullness, drape, warmth and application |
| Width | Selected according to production and cutting requirements |
| Pile | Different heights, densities and surface directions |
| Pattern | Solid, printed, embossed or other suitable surface effects |
| Finishing | Washing, brushing, softening, curling and related processes |
| Packing | Roll length, labels, shipping marks and export packing |
Commercial fabric names can vary between suppliers. Instead of requesting only “super soft” or “rabbit fur,” buyers should provide measurable requirements and describe the intended finished product.
Ready-Stock Fabric or Custom Production?
Ready-stock fabric can be useful when a buyer needs to review available colors quickly, prepare prototypes or work with a shorter initial sourcing schedule.
Custom production is more suitable when the project requires a specific color, GSM, width, pile, pattern or finish. It normally involves specification review, sample confirmation and production planning before the bulk order begins.
Availability, MOQ, sampling time and production lead time depend on the selected fabric and current production schedule. These details should be confirmed for each inquiry rather than assumed from a general product name.
Why Work Directly With a Plush Fabric Manufacturer?
Factory-direct communication can make it easier to discuss technical details with the production team and keep sample development aligned with bulk manufacturing.
Potential benefits include:
- Clearer communication about fabric specifications
- Direct discussion of production feasibility
- Better coordination between samples and bulk orders
- More transparent quotation details
- Easier adjustment of color, GSM, width and finishing
- Coordinated packing and export support
Factory-direct sourcing does not mean every fabric will use the same price or lead time. Pricing depends on construction, raw materials, GSM, width, color, finishing, quantity, packing and delivery requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Bluehole Textile provide fabric samples?
Yes. Available swatches, color cards, lab dips and custom surface samples can be discussed according to the fabric and project stage. A physical sample is recommended before confirming a new bulk order.
Can color, GSM and width be customized?
Yes. Custom color, weight, width, pile and surface finishing can be discussed for suitable OEM and ODM programs. Availability and MOQ depend on the selected construction and order plan.
Which applications are suitable for these plush fabrics?
Depending on the selected quality, the fabrics may be used for plush toys, blankets, cushions, throws, apparel, pajamas, accessories and other soft textile products.
Can I purchase ready-stock plush fabric?
Ready-stock fabrics may be available in selected qualities and colors. Buyers should send their required fabric type, color, GSM, width and quantity so the current availability can be checked.
How should I evaluate a sample?
Review the fabric surface, backing, color, GSM, usable width, stretch, recovery and pile direction. A finished-product trial using the planned cutting, sewing, filling, washing or bonding process provides better evidence than a loose swatch alone.
