Acrylic Felt Fabric by the Yard 72in Wide - Yellow 5 Yard Roll

In this review of the acrylic felt fabric by the yard, the reviewer finds it a reliable, budget-friendly option for crafters, hobbyists and small upholstery projects. The single biggest reason to buy is its combination of a wide 72in width and soft, non-stiff 1.6mm thickness, which makes cutting and sewing large continuous pieces much easier than narrower felt sheets. The review covers real-world handling, care, and suitability so readers can decide if this yellow 5 yard roll meets their needs.

Key Features

• Material: Made of 100% acrylic, the felt offers durability and holds shape well for craft and light upholstery work.
• Width: The generous 72in width lets you cut wide projects or multiple smaller pieces from a single continuous run, reducing seams.
• Thickness: At about 1.6mm thick, the felt provides enough body for stable surfaces like poker or puzzle mats without being stiff.
• Texture: The soft, smooth surface is easy to sew, glue and manipulate, making it suitable for felt flowers, envelopes and home decor.
• Care: Designed for cold hand wash and air dry, the fabric tolerates low-temperature ironing and simple spot cleaning for oil-based stains.
• Length and color: This listing is a yellow 5 yard cut, which is convenient for larger projects while keeping color consistency.

Who It's For

This felt is aimed at crafters, educators and DIYers who need a wide, continuous piece of fabric for table covers, felt boards, large wall decor or sewing projects that benefit from 72in width. It is also useful for makers creating gaming surfaces, puzzle mats, or handmade accessories where a soft yet stable backing is helpful.

Those who should look elsewhere include people needing industrial-strength upholstery felt or flame-retardant specialty textiles, and buyers who require precise machine-washable fabrics; the recommended care is hand wash only and air dry for best results.
