Ice Fabrics Craft Felt Fabric by the Yard - 72in Wide Baby Blue - 4

In this review of the Ice Fabrics craft felt, the bottom line is simple: this baby blue acrylic felt is a dependable, easy-to-use option for crafters who need wide, durable material for projects. It suits hobbyists, sewing and embroidery users, costume makers, and home decorators who value a soft, non-woven textile that resists pilling and holds up to handling. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a full 72in width with a reliable 1.6mm thickness, which makes it practical for larger projects and continuous panel work without many seams.

Key Features

• Wide 72in width: Offers full-width yardage so you can cut large pieces or continuous panels with fewer seams, useful for backdrops, upholstery accents, and vehicle covers.
• 1.6mm thickness: Thick enough to provide structure and a soft hand, making it suitable for machine embroidery, costume layers, and decorative panels.
• 100% acrylic construction: Lightweight but durable non-woven fabric made by matting and pressing fibers, giving long-lasting use for repeated handling.
• Easy to work with: Cuts, folds, sews, glues, paints, and draws cleanly, so it adapts to school projects, home crafts, and sewn decorations.
• Machine washable care: Can be washed on a delicate cold cycle and air-dried, which helps maintain color and texture after cleaning.

Who It's For

This felt is for makers who need broad yardage in a consistent color and thickness - quilters, costume designers, crafters making banners or panels, and those doing machine embroidery or vehicle interior projects like freedom panel covers. The full 72in width reduces seams and makes layout faster for larger projects.

It is less suitable for those who need very fine, plush felt for delicate garments or high-fashion tailoring where woven fabrics are preferred. Also, if you need exact upholstery-grade backing or flame-retardant certification, look for specialized textiles instead.
