Facebook's privacy settings allow you to hide your friend list the way you want.
You can hide it from all the users (including friends and non-friends) or from your all your friends or hide it from selected friends.
Firstly, go to your profile/timeline.
Now there are different ways for the people having old profile and the ones having the timeline.
For Timeline users:
Here in the snapshot, you can see the privacy is set to "Only Me".
You have several other options there and also you can customise the visibility using the "Custom" option which you can see is just under "only me".
The custom allows you to customise the visibility exactly as per your wish.
Yes, you can do exactly what you want!
If you select custom, you will see this box on the screen:
Now you can select the desired option from those appear in the drop-down menu to make it visible to those people or list.
If you select "Specify People or Lists...", you can add names of the people individually who you want to make the friend list visible to.
You can also hide your friend list from specific people the same way.
Just add the names of those people/lists to the "Hide this from" area which you can see in the pic above.
This will hide the list from those people only.
Save the changes and your friend list's visibility is set right as you wanted.
There is one important thing timeline users must know. It is that you will not be able to hide mutual friends. If you have some friends common with a friend, he will be able to see those common friends.
For Old Profile users:
You can select any of the available option as per your wish and apply it to your profile.
