Ice Fabrics Craft Felt Fabric by the Yard - 72in Wide 1.6mm Thick

In this review of the Ice Fabrics craft felt, the bottom line is straightforward: this soft, 1.6mm acrylic felt is best for crafters and small sewing projects who need a durable, easy-to-work-with material in vivid color. The reviewer found the material pleasant to handle, with reliable color accuracy and a weight that works well for decorations, costume accents, and machine embroidery. If you want a wide, pre-cut felt that is simple to cut, glue, sew or paint, this felt delivers consistent results without feeling scratchy.

Key Features

• Soft acrylic texture: The 100% acrylic construction produces a smooth, non-scratchy surface that is comfortable to work with for extended craft sessions.
• Generous width and thickness: A 72in width and approx 1.6mm thickness give plenty of coverage and a stable hand for projects like panels, banners, and larger decorations.
• Easy to manipulate: The non-woven felt cuts, folds, glues and sews cleanly which makes it suitable for costumes, appliquA, and school projects.
• Durable construction: Matting and pressing of the fibers creates a long-lasting fabric that stands up to handling and light wear in finished pieces.
• Washable care: The fabric can be machine washed on a delicate, cold cycle and air-dried, which keeps maintenance simple for reused projects or costume pieces.

Who It's For

This felt is ideal for hobbyists, school teachers, and home sewers who need a reliable orange felt that performs well for cutting, machine embroidery, and crafting panels for jeeps or costume elements. Its wide 72in width is especially useful for projects that benefit from fewer seams and large continuous pieces.

Those who need heavy upholstery-grade felt, specialty natural fibers, or industrial insulation should look elsewhere, since this is a lightweight, craft-focused acrylic felt rather than a technical fabric for load-bearing or high-heat applications.
