Mint Craft Felt by the Yard - Soft Plush Polyester Felt for DIY

In this review of the mint variation, the Felt Store craft felt by the yard is recommended for crafters who need a soft, wide, and easy-to-use fabric for sewing, decorations, and small costume work; the single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a plush hand and consistent polyester construction that arrives in a full-width 72-in sheet so projects need less seaming. The review looks at how it cuts, sews, and stands up to family projects and whether the thickness and color match typical craft expectations.

Key Features

• 72-in width: The full-width fabric reduces seams and lets you cut wide backdrops or long costume pieces from a single yard, saving time on layout.
• Polyester construction: Durable and soft, the polyester felt resists fraying and keeps shape for small sewn toys and decorations.
• Approx 1-1.6mm thickness: A consistent thickness that balances pliability and structure for cutting precise shapes and light embroidery work.
• Easy to use: It cuts and folds cleanly, glues well, and is compatible with a Cricut Maker and blunt-needle sewing, making it accessible for most hobby tools.
• Spot washable and iron-safe: Family-friendly clean-up with spot washing and low-temperature ironing capability for smoothing wrinkles without steam.

Who It's For

The mint felt is well suited to hobby sewists, costume makers, teachers, and parents doing craft sessions who want a soft, plush fabric that behaves predictably when cut, glued, or sewn; its 72-in width is especially useful for backdrops, banners, and projects that require fewer joins. The color choice is helpful for themed decorations and approachable for embroidery accents.

Those who need very thick felt for heavy-duty structural projects or industrial use should look elsewhere, since the 1-1.6mm range leans toward light to medium applications. Also, anyone requiring precise color matching for professional products should test a swatch first, as customer feedback notes mixed experiences with color perception.
