Ice Fabrics Craft Felt Fabric by the Yard - 72 in Wide, 10 Yards

In this review, the Ice Fabrics craft felt is evaluated for crafters, teachers, and hobbyists who need large, consistent lengths of acrylic felt. The bottom line: this 72 in wide, 1.6mm thick acrylic felt is best for projects that demand soft, easy-to-cut material in accurate color - the single biggest reason to buy is its combination of width and color consistency, which reduces seams and speeds up large decorating or costume tasks.

Key Features

• Wide 72 in width: The expansive width reduces the need to join pieces, saving time on projects like panels, backdrops, or large costumes.
• 1.6mm thickness: A moderate thickness that balances flexibility and body so the fabric holds simple shapes yet remains easy to cut and layer.
• 100% acrylic construction: Durable non-woven material made by matting and pressing fibers, which helps the fabric resist wear during repeated handling.
• Easy to work with: The soft, smooth surface accepts cutting, sewing, gluing, painting and drawing, making it useful across many craft techniques.
• Multiple length options: Sold by the yard and available in continuous lengths up to 20 yards so you can order the amount needed for larger projects.
• Machine washable care: Can be machine washed on a delicate cycle with cold water and should be air-dried, simplifying cleanup for reusable items.

Who It's For

This felt is aimed at hobbyists, classroom instructors, and decorators who need a reliable, soft acrylic fabric in accurate colors for banners, backdrops, costumes, school projects, and home decor accents. The very wide 72 in roll is especially helpful when covering large areas or cutting wide patterns without seams.

Those who need very thick, structural felt for heavy-duty insulation or industrial uses should look elsewhere, as this product is a moderate 1.6mm acrylic felt designed for crafting rather than heavy padding or load-bearing applications.
