What is the difference between craft felt and pool table felt?

When referring to "craft felt" most people mean acrylic felt this is composed of plastic pelets which are then melted to form a faux felt, real felt can only be made of natural fibers.

Pool table felt is higher quality and is usually a wool or wool rayon blend and is very thin. It must be ordered by the bolt and is usually very expensive, if you are looking to buy some I would suggest contacting New York Felt and expect to pay around $20 a yard or more.

In recent years crafters have been using better quality felts similar to pool table felt, If your looking for a higher quality crafting felt similar to pool table felt I would suggest www.feltandcraft.com they have a ton of colors and you can expect to pay around .75 for 9x 12 wool blend sheets, they also have 100% wool sheets but I don't remember the cost of those.

Hope this helps
