Royal Blue Craft Felt Fabric by the Yard - 72in Wide, 1.6mm Thick

In this review of the Royal Blue craft felt, the bottom line is simple: this wide, 72in acrylic felt is best for crafters and hobbyists who need a large, consistent yardage for projects like decorations, upholstery accents, and school work. The reviewer found the material soft to the touch and easy to work with, and notes that its main appeal is the combination of generous width and long continuous length that reduces seams and waste. For anyone making panels, costumes, or large scale crafts, this felt delivers reliable color and a durable non-woven feel.

Key Features

• 72in width: The extra-wide fabric lets you cut large pieces or continuous panels without stitching multiple narrower strips together, saving time for bigger projects.
• 1.6mm thickness: A moderate thickness that balances flexibility and structure so it can be folded, glued, sewn, or layered without becoming bulky.
• 100% acrylic construction: Made from acrylic fibers that are produced by matting and pressing to create a lightweight, durable non-woven fabric that stands up to regular use.
• Easy to customize: The smooth surface accepts cutting, painting, drawing, gluing, and simple sewing techniques, making it useful across many craft applications.
• Available in long lengths: Offered in yardage up to 20 yards so you can order continuous material for large decorations, upholstery panels, or repeated production runs.

Who It's For

This felt is ideal for hobbyists, school art departments, and makers who need consistent color and wide panels for banners, costume panels, or interior covers. The 72in width reduces seams, so quilters, upholstery tinkerers, and vehicle panel makers will appreciate the coverage.

Those who need heirloom textiles, heavy industrial carpeting, or natural-fiber materials should look elsewhere, since this is an acrylic, non-woven felt meant for craft and decorative uses rather than heavy-duty floor coverings or fine garment tailoring.
