We’re going GREEN with our 100% Synthetic Craft Felt!        

Our 100% Synthetic Craft Felts are now being made with Ecospun®, a fabric made from 100% Certified Recycled PET bottles. You get the same great washable, dryable colors, without the environmental baggage. How great is this? It is estimated this switch to Ecospun® may keep almost 3 billion bottles out of landfills, saving over half a million barrels of oil and eliminating 400,000  tons of harmful air emissions, per year.   We are not 100% through our old inventory, but all new inventory will be Ecospun®. Cool change….
