Acrylic Felt Fabric by the Yard 72in Wide 1.6mm Thick - Soft

In this review of FabricLA acrylic felt fabric, the bottom line is simple: this is a soft, pliable felt by the yard best suited to crafters, costume makers, and hobbyists who need wide, continuous pieces that cut and glue cleanly. The reviewer found the 72in width and 1.6mm thickness give a substantial, pleasant feel without stiffness, and the precut yardage options and individual-piece shipping make it easy to plan projects. For anyone needing a durable, non-fraying felt for home decor, game tables, or sewing, this felt stands out for quality and value.

Key Features

• Sold by individual units: Each quantity purchased arrives as separate continuous pieces so you get predictable lengths for multiple projects.
• 100% acrylic fiber: The material feels soft and remains sturdy, making it easy to cut, glue and manipulate without unraveling or creasing.
• Generous width: A full 72in width covers large surfaces and reduces seams when reupholstering tables, pillows or costume panels.
• Consistent thickness: The 1.6mm, 160 gms/sq.yd. weight provides enough body to protect tabletops and improve game play while still draping nicely.
• Precut continuous lengths: Options like precut 10-yard pieces deliver long, continuous material for projects that need large unbroken sections.
• Multiple uses: Works for crafts, home decor, costumes, and even temporary poker or puzzle tables where a felt surface matters.

Who It's For

This felt is aimed at makers who need a reliable, non-stiff fabric in long runs: sewers assembling large panels, crafters cutting many shapes, and decorators covering tables or cushions. It is especially useful for hobbyists who appreciate a fabric that does not fray and holds up to cutting and glueing during repeated handling.

Those who should look elsewhere include people needing a specialty natural fiber or ultrathin dress fabric; this is an acrylic craft felt with a specific heft and texture, not a fine apparel textile or a high-stretch knit.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Soft, non-stiff feel that is easy to manipulate for intricate craft work.
• Substantial 1.6mm thickness gives durability for upholstery, game tables and heavy-use projects.
• Arrives in full-width 72in pieces, reducing seams and simplifying layout for large projects.
• Does not fray or crease easily, making it a good value for repeated projects.

Cons

• Made from acrylic, so it is not a natural fiber option for those seeking cotton or wool felts.
• Precut lengths may be limiting if you need one continuous run longer than the available precut option without contacting the seller.
