Red 402 Acrylic Felt Fabric by the Yard - 72 in Wide, 2 yd Piece

In this review of the Red 402 acrylic felt fabric, the bottom line is simple: crafters and DIYers who need a soft, non-stiff felt in a wide format will find real value here. The review highlights that this product is sold by individual units and arrives as a precut 2 yard piece, making it convenient for small projects where consistent color and thickness matter. The fabric's 100% acrylic makeup and 1.6mm thickness are the single biggest reasons to choose it for home decor, costumes, and tabletop conversions because it balances pliability with enough body to hold shape.

Key Features

• SOLD BY INDIVIDUAL UNITS: Each quantity is a separate piece, which keeps shipments tailored and easy to manage for multiple projects.
• 100% ACRYLIC FIBERS: The acrylic construction makes the felt noticeably soft and resistant to fraying while remaining easy to cut and glue.
• WIDE 72 in FORMAT: The 72 in width provides ample coverage for larger craft panels, table overlays, and costume sections without seams.
• 1.6mm THICKNESS: At 1.6mm and about 160 gms/sq. yd., the felt offers enough density for padding, gaming tables, and upholstery accents.
• VERSATILE FOR CRAFTS AND DECOR: It works well for felt flowers, garlands, pillow accents and even temporary poker or game tables thanks to its surface feel and thickness.
• COLOR CONSISTENCY: Customers report good color quality for backdrops and craft work, making it reliable for matched projects.

Who It's For

This felt is aimed at hobbyists, small sewing shops, and home decorators who want a soft, sturdy acrylic felt in a wide width for projects like reupholstery accents, costume panels, and craft pieces. It is especially useful for people converting dining tables into playing surfaces or creating large fabric backdrops because the 72 in width reduces seams.

Those who need industrial-grade upholstery felt, flame-resistant specialty fabric, or very thin craft felt for delicate millinery should look elsewhere, as this product is a midweight acrylic felt best suited to craft, DIY and light upholstery tasks rather than technical textile applications.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Soft and pliable acrylic make it easy to manipulate for sewing and gluing without unraveling.
• Generous 72 in width cuts down on seams for large projects and backdrops.
• Good color quality and thickness deliver value for money on craft and decor tasks.
• Sold as individual pieces so ordering multiple quantities gives separate continuous cuts.

Cons

• Offered as precut yard lengths rather than a continuous roll, so very long continuous runs require contacting the seller.
