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

In this review the FabricLA acrylic felt fabric is evaluated as a versatile, budget-friendly option for crafters, costumers, and hobbyists who need a soft, non-stiff material by the yard. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a wide 72in width and a reassuring 1.6mm thickness that makes it easy to cut, glue, and drape over surfaces without fraying; the review focuses on how that balance of softness and substance performs in everyday projects.

Key Features

• SOLD BY INDIVIDUAL UNITS: Each quantity is shipped as a separate continuous piece so buyers receive multiple full-length cuts when ordering several units, avoiding piecing together scraps.
• 100% Acrylic Fibers: The acrylic composition delivers a soft hand and good durability, making the felt easy to manipulate and resistant to unraveling when cut for shapes and appliques.
• Large Width: At 72in wide the fabric covers wide surfaces with minimal seams, which is convenient for table covers, backdrops, and large craft panels.
• Precut Lengths: Available in precut continuous yard lengths, which simplifies planning for projects that need known amounts of material.
• 1.6mm Thickness: The felts 1.6mm thickness provides a plush, slightly cushioned surface suitable for padding, gaming tables, and costume layers without being bulky.
• Versatile Uses: Suitable for crafts, home decor, costume work, and converting a normal table into a gaming or poker surface thanks to the fabric's texture and thickness.

Who It's For

This felt is best for hobby sewists, makers of soft decorations, and DIYers who need a wide, soft fabric that holds shapes yet remains pliable; it works well for felt flowers, small pouches, table covers, and temporary gaming surfaces. Small studios and prop makers will also appreciate the color choices and the ability to order multiple continuous pieces if they need repeatable panels.

Those who want natural fibers, very heavy industrial felt, or ultra-fine suiting cloth should look elsewhere, since this product is an acrylic craft felt with a somewhat fuzzy surface and medium weight rather than a premium natural textile or structural upholstery fabric.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Soft and pliable acrylic felt that is easy to cut and glue without fraying.
• Wide 72in width reduces seams for large projects and backdrops.
• Good thickness and weight for padding, gaming tables, and costume layers.
• Sold as individual continuous pieces so multiple quantities arrive as separate full-length cuts.

Cons

• As an acrylic craft felt it is not a natural fiber option and may not suit fine tailoring or high-end upholstery needs.
• Color vibrancy and exact shade may vary slightly by dye lot, so matching very specific tones across orders may require ordering extra yardage.
