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

Our review of this acrylic felt fabric finds it best for crafters, costume makers, and hobbyists who need a soft, durable sheet in wide widths. The single biggest reason to buy is its combination of pliability and consistent thickness: the 72 in width and 1.6mm thickness deliver a stable surface that cuts cleanly and holds glue without fraying. Shipping in individual precut yard lengths makes ordering simple for repeat projects, and the material is easy to manipulate for sewing, padding, or converting a dining table into a temporary gaming surface.

Key Features

• SOLD BY INDIVIDUAL UNITS: Each quantity comes as a separate piece so multiple-yard orders arrive as distinct continuous lengths for easier handling.
• 100% ACRYLIC FIBERS: The fabric has a soft, non-stiff hand that still resists tearing and is easy to cut and glue without unraveling.
• Generous WIDTH: At 72 in wide the felt covers large surfaces and reduces seams for table coverings, backdrops, or upholstery patches.
• CONSISTENT THICKNESS: The 1.6mm thickness and 160 gms/sq.yd. specification provide a substantial feel useful for padding, props, and game tables.
• PRE-CUT LENGTH OPTIONS: Available in precut continuous yardages so you can choose the right length for sewing projects or request longer runs if needed.
• VERSATILE FOR CRAFTS: Works well for small sewn items, felt flowers, garlands, costume accents, and even as a greenscreen or backdrop material.

Who It's For

This felt is ideal for makers who want a soft, durable material in a very wide width: quilters and large-scale decorators will appreciate 72 in of coverage, while costume designers and crafters benefit from the non-stiff hand and ease of cutting. It is also a good choice for hobby gamers or hosts who want a temporary poker or puzzle table surface that helps pieces stay put.

People who need technical or natural fiber textiles, ultra-thin interfacing, or highly stretch fabrics should look elsewhere, since this product is a 100% acrylic felt with a fixed 1.6mm thickness and is intended for craft and decor uses rather than performance apparel.
