FabricLA Acrylic Felt Fabric 72 in Wide, Soft 1.6mm Thick - Craft Felt

In this review of the FabricLA acrylic felt fabric by the yard, the bottom line is simple: crafters and hobbyists who need a soft, non-stiff felt in large continuous widths will appreciate the material for its ease of use and dependable color. This felt is aimed at people making costumes, home decor accents, gaming table covers, or detailed craft shapes; the single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a very soft, dense 100% acrylic construction and a generous 72 in width that reduces seams on wide projects.

Key Features

• Material: Made from 100% acrylic fibers, the fabric feels soft and holds shape well for cutting and gluing without fraying.
• Width and Thickness: At 72 in wide and 1.6mm thick, the felt covers large surfaces and provides a plush, slightly cushioned finish for tables or upholstery accents.
• Length Options: Sold by the yard in separate precut pieces so each quantity is an individual continuous length, useful when multiple identical pieces are needed.
• Density: The higher density acrylic construction gives a fuzzy finish that is easier to manipulate into flowers, appliques, and costume details.
• Durability: Customers report good durability with no fraying during cutting or crafting, making it suitable for repeated handling and projects.
• Versatility: Works well for crafts, costume-making, home decor, and converting a normal table to a poker or game surface because of the fabric's grip and cozy feel.

Who It's For

The felt is best for crafters, costume makers, DIY home decorators, and event planners who need large-format felt that is soft and easy to cut. The 72 in width is especially helpful for projects like table covers, sofa accents, or large backdrops where minimizing seams matters.

People who need natural fibers, needle-felting wool, or industrial-grade upholstery felt should look elsewhere; this product is a synthetic acrylic felt intended for decorative and craft use rather than heavy-duty commercial upholstery or flame-retardant applications.

Pros & Cons

Pros
