Ice Fabrics Craft Felt Fabric by the Yard 72in Wide - 5 Yards Kelly

In this review the Ice Fabrics craft felt by the yard earns a recommendation for crafters who need a large, consistent color and a robust material to work with. The reviewer found the 72in width and 1.6mm thickness especially useful for projects that require wide coverage without seams, and the 5 yard length avoids frequent joins. Overall, this felt stands out for its color accuracy and ease of handling whether cutting, sewing, gluing, or painting.

Key Features

• Wide 72in width: One-piece coverage simplifies larger projects like backdrops, upholstery panels, or multiple craft pieces without seams.
• 1.6mm thickness: A substantial feel that holds shape well for decorations, panels and machine embroidery uses while still being pliable.
• 100% acrylic construction: Durable, non-woven fabric resists pilling and provides long-lasting performance for repeated handling and display.
• Easy to work with: The felt cuts, folds, sews, glues and accepts paint or marker cleanly, which speeds up school projects and costume work.
• Multiple lengths available: Offered in continuous yard lengths so you can choose half-yard increments up to longer runs to match project needs.
• Machine washable care: Can be washed on a delicate cycle with cold water and air-dried to maintain appearance and feel.

Who It's For

This felt is aimed at hobbyists, educators, and makers who need reliable, wide-format fabric for large DIY projects such as theatre backdrops, vehicle panels, seasonal decorations, or quilting accents. The consistent Kelly green color and soft hand make it a smart pick for anyone doing machine embroidery or decorative panels.

Those who should look elsewhere include crafters needing natural fiber felts or very thin craft sheets for intricate miniature work; this acrylic felt is thicker and designed for durability rather than ultra-fine detail work.
