Kelly posted last week about natural alternatives to icky synthetic fiber felt. I’d like to offer another green twist on a crafting staple: EcoSpun felt from Hart’s Fabric.
EcoSpun felt is made from post-consumer recycled PET plastic bottles. It’s sold in a 72″ width for $5.99 a yard with a minimum order of one yard.
PET, in case you were wondering, is polyethylene terephthalate. PET is the plastic used to make #1 bottles. There are issues with plastic recycling, and I’d rather see fewer plastic bottles made and used in the first place, but since they exist I’m glad there are some options for using them to make new products.
Here are the color choices for EcoSpun felt: blue, yellow, gold, orange, baby pink, shocking pink, fuschia, red, ruby, baby blue, cadet blue, royal blue, navy, grape, orchid, purple, apple green, pirate green, kelly green, white, antique white, cashmere tan, cocoa brown, silver grey, charcoal, and black.
Yes, I just did all that so I could type in “pirate green.”
They also carry organic cotton and organic cotton blends (woven, stretch jersey knit, fleece, several lovely colors of canvas, and terry), hemp and hemp blends in some nice warm colors, and eco-friendly pillow forms and batting.

I recommend Kunin Eco felt as the “green” felt option. The felt is made out of recycled plastic bottles, and they have so many color options to offer! Check out my article here http://www.squidoo.com/eco-friendly-kunin-felt-made-out-of-recycled-plastic-bottles-how-cool-is-that-

Can you wash this felt
You can! I used to use this felt on my cupcake aprons, and I’ve washed my own many times. Just make sure you wash on cold and tumble on low. If you dry on high heat, the felt can melt. I have seen it, and it’s not pretty.
