Acrylic Felt Fabric by the Yard - Royal Blue 72in Wide Soft Felt

Our review of this Royal Blue acrylic felt by the yard finds it best suited for crafters and hobbyists who need a wide, durable felt that is easy to cut and sew. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a very wide 72in roll with a thick 1.6mm, 100% acrylic construction that makes large projects and continuous table coverings straightforward without seams. The texture is soft and smooth, so it handles hand sewing, gluing and low-heat ironing without distress, making it a practical choice for sewing, upholstery accents and gaming surfaces.

Key Features

• Material: 100% acrylic gives the felt strong durability while remaining soft to the touch for comfortable handling.
• Width: A 72in wide sheet reduces seams on large projects like table covers or wall panels and simplifies layout for patterns.
• Thickness: The 1.6mm thickness provides stable support for items such as poker cards and puzzle pieces while still being easy to cut.
• Care: Hand wash in cold water and air dry to preserve color and texture and treat oil stains gently with mild soap.
• Workability: Produced by matting and pressing fibers, the felt glues, cuts and sews without excessive fraying, which speeds up craft assembly.
• Color quality: The Royal Blue dye is even and vibrant, useful for visible decor and game surfaces where color consistency matters.

Who It's For

This felt is ideal for home crafters, prop makers and small upholstery projects that need wide, continuous fabric. Teachers and makers creating classroom displays, felt boards, or large banners will appreciate the 72in width and the fabric's soft finish.

It is less suitable for applications that require fireproof or natural fiber materials; choose a wool or treated textile for flame-resistant needs. Also, buyers needing pre-cut precise dimensions should verify measurements, as some customers reported mixed feedback about size accuracy.

Pros & Cons
