Craft Felt by The Felt Store Apple Green - Soft, Durable Felt

In this review of the Apple Green craft felt by The Felt Store, the bottom line is clear: this polyester felt is a reliable choice for crafters who need a soft, durable fabric available by the yard. The reviewer found it especially useful for projects that require a plush, consistent material that is easy to cut, glue and sew. For anyone making costumes, decorations, embroidered pieces or toys, the felt's width and washable nature make it a practical go-to, and the ability to buy exact yardage removes waste from small and large projects alike.

Key Features

• Material and feel: The polyester composition delivers a plush, buttery soft texture that works well for backdrops and tactile craft pieces.
• Thickness: At approximately 1-1.6mm thick, the felt balances flexibility and structure so it can be folded or layered without collapsing.
• Width and yardage: Sold by the yard and 72 in wide, the fabric lets you order precise amounts for large panels or long runs without seams.
• Ease of use: It cuts, folds, glues and sews cleanly and is compatible with the Cricut Maker and sewing with a blunt needle.
• Care and durability: The felt is family friendly and spot washable with a damp cloth, and it can be ironed on a low setting with no steam for light pressing.

Who It's For

This felt is best for hobbyists, sewing enthusiasts and makers who value a soft, consistent fabric for decorative projects, toys, appliques and embroidery backing. Its 72 in width and sold-by-the-yard format make it a sensible pick for people doing set backdrops, banners or multiple repeated pieces who want to avoid piecing narrower fabric.

It may be less ideal for crafters who need a very thick structural felt or those seeking a natural fiber option; the polyester construction is chosen for softness and durability rather than heavyweight stiffness or natural fiber breathability.
