To obtain acrylic sheep-like fur having an patterned surface with a high-quality feeling by a post-processing method.

This sheep-like acrylic pile fabric comprises a spun yarn containing ≥30 mass % of side-by-side type acrylic short fiber with a three- dimensional crimp in a pile part and has an uneven pattern formed by difference in shrinkage of the pile yarn. This method for producing the sheet-like acrylic pile fabric comprises printing the pile surface or back of a woven fabric or knitted fabric having a spun yarn containing ≥30% of side-by-side conjugate acrylic staple to develop a three-dimensional crimp in a pile part with a printing paste containing acrylic fiber solvent and heat-treating the pile fabric so as to develop difference in shrinkage between printed parts and unprinted parts.
