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

In this review of FabricLA Acrylic Felt Fabric, the bottom line is straightforward: this felt is best for crafters and DIYers who need a wide, soft, and durable textile that is easy to cut and glue. The reviewer found the fabric lived up to its promise of being non-stiff and pliable, making it useful for projects that require shaping or conforming to small ridges. Color quality and thickness stood out, and the sold-by-unit length options make it simple to order continuous pieces for larger projects.

Key Features

• Sold by individual units: Each ordered quantity arrives as a separate continuous piece, so larger projects can be planned knowing how many full runs you will receive.
• Soft 100% acrylic: The acrylic composition delivers a soft hand and a sturdy feel that resists unraveling and holds up to cutting and gluing without fraying.
• Large width: At 72 in wide, the felt covers wide surfaces without seams, which is convenient for table covers, backdrops, or upholstery patches.
• Consistent thickness: The 1.6mm thickness and 160 gms/sq. yd. weight give a plush surface that works well for game tables and craft padding.
• Multiple uses: The fabric adapts to crafts, home decor, costumes, and temporary poker or puzzle tables where a soft, grippy surface is needed.

Who It's For

Hobbyists and small business makers who sew, glue, or upholster will appreciate the wide, soft felt when making pillows, costume elements, or craft garlands. Because it is pliable and non-fraying, it is also suitable for precise cut shapes like felt flowers or small pouches.

People needing a specialized technical textile (for high-heat or industrial applications) should look elsewhere, since this is designed for general crafts, home decor, and light upholstery rather than heavy-duty outdoor use.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Soft, non-stiff hand that is easy to manipulate for detailed craft work.
• Wide 72 in format avoids seams on large surfaces like game tables or backdrops.
• Durable acrylic construction that resists fraying and keeps color well.
