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

In this review of the FabricLA Acrylic Felt Fabric by the yard, the bottom line is simple: it is a versatile, soft felt best suited for crafters, costume makers, and hobbyists who need thick, continuous yards of material. The reviewer found the fabric easy to cut, glue and shape, with a satisfying plush hand and consistent color across the full 10-yard precut length. If your project needs a non-stiff, durable felt that holds up to handling and gives a cozy surface for games or decor, this felt earns strong consideration.

Key Features

• Sold by individual units: Each quantity ordered is delivered as a separate continuous piece, so a 10-yard unit arrives ready to use without seams or splices.
• 100% acrylic fiber: The acrylic construction keeps the fabric soft and sturdy while resisting fraying when cut, which simplifies crafting and sewing tasks.
• Large width: At 72 in wide, the fabric covers wide tables or long costume panels without seams, reducing layout and joining work.
• Substantial thickness: The 1.6mm thickness and 160 gms/sq. yd. feel durable enough for padding, table surfaces, and projects that need a plush, supportive layer.
• Easy to work with: Reviewers note it cuts cleanly and accepts glue and stitching well, making it practical for garlands, soft toys, and upholstery touches.
• Multiuse surface: The dense felt surface works well as a temporary poker or game table covering and provides a pleasant tactile finish for home decor.

Who It's For

This felt is ideal for crafters who need large, continuous lengths for projects like garlands, large applique panels, custom table coverings, or costume pieces where seam-free width matters. It also suits home decorators and DIYers looking to reupholster small furniture or add a cozy felt surface to a game table or puzzle area.

People who require specialty fibers (wool blend, flame-retardant, or industrial textiles) or ultra-thin interfacing should look elsewhere; this product is specifically an acrylic felt with a midweight thickness and is not a technical fabric for high-heat or specialist industrial uses.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Soft, non-stiff hand that conforms well to shapes and small ridges for neat craft edges.
• Large 72 in width and 10-yard precut length reduce the need for seams on big projects.
• Durable acrylic fiber resists fraying and handles cutting, gluing, and light stitching reliably.
• Works well as a game or poker table surface and for decorative home projects.

Cons

• As an acrylic felt, it is not a natural fiber; customers seeking wool or specialty performance fabrics will need a different material.
• Color accuracy can vary by screen, so for color-critical projects a sample check is advisable.
