Apple Green Craft Felt Fabric by the Yard - 72in Wide 1.6mm Thick

In this review the Apple Green 72in wide craft felt by Ice Fabrics is evaluated as a go-to option for crafters who need a soft, durable acrylic material in a large width and multiple yards. The bottom line: this felt is best for hobbyists, classroom projects, and costume makers who value easy handling and consistent color; the single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a wide 72in width and 1.6mm thickness that makes cutting and layering quicker for larger projects.

Key Features

• Wide 72in width: The very wide fabric lets you cut large panels or multiples without seams, saving time on big projects and coverings.
• 1.6mm thickness: The moderate thickness gives the felt enough body for decorations and panels while remaining pliable for sewing and folding.
• 100% acrylic construction: The non-woven acrylic fiber is lightweight and produced by matting and pressing fibers together for a durable, long-lasting material.
• Easy to work with: The felt cuts cleanly and accepts sewing, gluing, painting and machine embroidery without excessive fraying or stretching.
• Machine washable: The fabric can be gently machine washed in cold water and air-dried, which helps keep craft projects fresh and reusable.
• Vibrant apple green: The color is accurate and consistent across yards, making it suitable for visible decorations and costume pieces.

Who It's For

This felt is ideal for crafters, teachers, and DIY decorators who need a wide, consistent fabric for school displays, theatrical backdrops, Jeep freedom panel covers, or upholstery accents. The 72in width reduces seams for projects like table covers, wall panels, and large costume pieces where continuity of color and texture matters.

People who need ultra-fine wool textures, stretch knit fabrics, or fire-retardant industrial textiles should look elsewhere; this is acrylic felt designed for crafts and light-duty decorative uses rather than high-temperature or structural applications.

Pros & Cons

Cons
