Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between 3.2mm and 1.6mm felt?
3.2mm felt is twice as thick — it holds structural shape on its own, making it ideal for bags, hats, and projects that need to stand upright. 1.6mm is more flexible and better for applique, wrapping, and soft crafts. Browse our 1.6mm felt collection.
Can I cut 3.2mm felt with scissors?
Yes, but use sharp fabric shears or a rotary cutter for clean edges. Dull scissors can compress the felt and create uneven cuts. A cutting mat and rotary cutter give the best results at this thickness.
Is 3.2mm felt stiff enough for bags?
Yes. 3.2mm felt is the go-to thickness for structured tote bags, organizers, and storage baskets. It holds shape without interfacing or stiffeners, and the non-fraying edges mean you can leave seams exposed for a modern look.
