In the Fabulous Fabric series you have already been tipped off that Hart’s Fabrics carries recycled felt as does Felt-o-rama. It is also widely available at Joanns, Hobby Lobby, and Walmart.
- Three Sneaky Bugs shows us how to turn an empty frame into a Felt Story Board. Repurpose a frame you already have or find one at a thrift store.
- Make Felt Flower Hairpins with Bugs and Fishes by Lupin. These would also be great brooches to adorn your purse, jacket, or to give as a gift.
Now if only you could take 10 plastic bottles into the fabric store and swap them for a pound of felt!
The felt I just got at JoAnn Fabrics was made with recycled plastic – not sure if it’s the same brand or not!

The recycled felt at Joann’s is Eco-fi Felt. They carry it by the yard and in smaller craft sizes.

“Fabrics made from Eco-fi fiber are chemi-
cally and functionally nearly identical to
those made from non-recycled fabrics. The
difference is that Eco-fi fiber is made with-
out depleting the Earth’s natural resources.”
Unfortunately, the extent of the eco-friendliness here is limited to the recycling of plastic bottles into new material. It is still better than buying regular polyester felt.

Man, you’re getting off easy, Jackie. When I posted an ode to this same stuff a couple of months ago in “Wool Comes from Sheep, and I’m Cheap,” one of my commentors called me a Very. Bad. Word.
I’m of the opinion that recycled acrylic felt is way better even than 100% wool felt, unless you’re sure that wool felt did not come from factory farmed sheep.
See why I got called a bad word?

But it’s still plastic right? I personally just don’t like working with acrylic too see through and it fuzzes so easily. I get my 100% wool felt from american felt and craft and they are very picky about the people they buy from and it it’s eco friendly to boot!

It’s wonderful to see this recycled felt being promoted so well. Great article!
We had real trouble finding it in the UK when we wanted it, so we started a company selling it. If any other UK crafters are having similar trouble, hopefully we can help out! =)
