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

In this review of FabricLA Acrylic Felt Fabric by the yard, the bottom line is simple: this is a versatile, soft felt for crafters and DIYers who need a durable, non-stiff material in wide widths. The reviewer found the fabric easy to cut, glue, and shape, and especially useful when a 72 in width and a consistent 1.6mm thickness are important for projects. The combination of flexibility and a pleasant, fuzzy hand makes it a practical choice for costume work, table covers, and craft panels.

Key Features

• Sold by individual units: Each quantity is delivered as a separate continuous piece so orders of multiple yards arrive in the requested individual lengths rather than one long roll.
• 100% acrylic fibers: The acrylic composition gives a soft, pliable surface that cuts cleanly and resists fraying when used for sewn or glued projects.
• Large width: At 72 in wide the felt lets you cover wide tables, large backdrops, or cut multiple smaller patterns across a single width without seams.
• Consistent thickness: The 1.6mm thickness and 160 gms/sq. yd. weight provide a noticeable body that is stable for padding, game tables, and upholstery accents.
• Multiple craft uses: The fabric works well for costumes, pillow trim, felt flowers, garlands, and even temporary gaming or puzzle surfaces because it helps pieces sit evenly and feel soft.

Who It's For

This felt is best for hobbyists, sewing enthusiasts, and event decorators who need a soft but substantial felt that holds shape without stiffness. Its wide 72 in width and decent weight make it a good pick for people converting a normal table into a poker or game table, cutting costume panels, or producing large craft backdrops.

Those who should look elsewhere include users who require natural fibers or flame-retardant certification, and anyone needing ultrathin or specialty industrial felts; this product is acrylic-based and positioned for general crafts, home decor, and DIY uses rather than technical applications.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Soft, non-stiff hand from the 100% acrylic construction makes it pleasant to work with and wear in costumes.
• Wide 72 in format reduces seams for large projects and backdrops.
• Good thickness (1.6mm, 160 gms/sq. yd.) gives structure for game tables and upholstery accents.
• Does not fray easily and is straightforward to cut and glue for detailed craft work.

Cons

• As an acrylic felt, it is not a natural fiber and may not suit projects that require cotton or wool content.
