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

In this review of FabricLA Felt Fabric the bottom line is clear: this is a soft, easy-to-work felt sold by the yard that suits crafters, costume makers, and home decorators who need wide, continuous pieces. The reviewer found the 72in width and 10 continuous yard precut length especially useful for projects that require large, single pieces, and the 1.6mm thickness provides a noticeable, pliable feel without being stiff. If you want a durable, cut-and-glue friendly acrylic felt for sewing, padding or tabletop use, this fabric stands out for value and versatility.

Key Features

• Sold by individual units: Each quantity is shipped as a separate continuous piece, so ordering multiple units gives multiple full-length rolls that avoid awkward seams.
• Soft 100% acrylic construction: The acrylic fibers make the felt soft to the touch, easy to manipulate, and resistant to unraveling when cut or glued.
• Extra-wide 72in width: The generous width eliminates seams on wide projects like table covers, backdrops, or large costume panels.
• Precut continuous length: The 10-yard precut length arrives as a single continuous roll, which is convenient for long runs and repeated patterns.
• 1.6mm thickness and 160 gms/sq. yd spec: The felt is thick enough for padding, tabletop conversion, and structure without being bulky or rigid.
• Multipurpose use: Suitable for crafts, home decor, costume making, and temporary game or greenscreen surfaces due to its texture and color stability.

Who It's For

This felt is best for hobbyists, small business sewists, and event decorators who need wide, continuous fabric with a soft hand and moderate thickness. Crafters making garlands, felt flowers, pouches, or reupholstery accents will appreciate the non-stiff drape and the ease of cutting and gluing.

It is less suitable for applications that require waterproofing, heavy-duty outdoor exposure, or industrial upholstery where specific fire or abrasion ratings are required. If you need ultra-heavy felt or specialty fiber content, consider a specialized textile product instead.
