Felt Fabric 3mm Petrol

This deep petrol-coloured felt has a dense, even structure that immediately shows how sturdy the fabric feels. In the photos you can clearly see the matte, slightly textured finish and the way the fabric holds its shape, even at a sharp point or fold the edge stays crisp. It's a colour that's both calming and striking, great for projects where you want a timeless look with just that bit of depth.

What is this material

Felt Fabric 3mm Petrol is a non-woven felt, made from synthetic fibres pressed tightly together. Because of this, the fabric doesn't fray and you can leave the raw edges as they are without finishing them. The thickness of this felt makes it sturdy enough to hold its shape on its own, without needing an extra stabilising layer. The matte finish and sturdy drape mean the fabric doesn't warp or stretch easily, which makes it suitable for structural projects. It's a fabric with low breathability, so keep that in mind for applications worn close to the skin.

Uses and projects

Because of the sturdiness and thickness of this bag felt, you can use it for many projects where structure matters.

• Sturdy bags and shoppers that keep their shape
• Cases and organisers that hold their form
• Placemats and coasters with a matte finish
• Decorative elements like cushion edges or appliqués
• Light upholstery for stools or decorative objects
• Craft projects like brooches and keychains
• Christmas and seasonal decorations thanks to its colorfastness
• Base for 3D shapes that need to stand on their own

Two types of felt at Rijs Textiles

At Rijs Textiles we offer two types of felt, both 90 cm wide. Alongside this sturdy 3mm thick bag felt, which comes in a full roll of around 10 metres, we also have a thinner Hobby Felt at 1.5mm. That lighter option is softer and more flexible, and works better for smaller crafts or decorations that need less structure. This way you can pick the right thickness for each project that suits your design.
