We encourage our customers not to rely on the screen representations of the felt colors. They are more of a guideline. The way your monitor or device screen is calibrated can distort the look of the color online from the actual color of the felt.

Semi-Annual Felt Remnant Sales
Our Felt Remnant Sales are held twice a year, usually in June and November. The sale generally runs for 3-5 days. We don’t offer more sales than that because we need time to build up remnant inventory.
Each year you can expect to shop clearance pricing on felt remnants, finished products, craft supplies, holiday décor, and more at extremely low discounted rates.
Remnant Inventory
Remnant inventory varies and is dependent on the number of returns, end of roll material and CNC off cuts we can generate throughout the year. Felt remnants generally include a large selection of 100% Wool Designer Felt and a modest selection of Premium Wool Blend Craft Felt, Rayon/Viscose Craft Felt, and SAE Industrial Felt.
Remnant Dimensions
Remnants are priced based on dimensions and weight. Dimensions range anywhere from 10” - 48” in width to 10” - 72” in length. Material dimensions are approximate and cuts are not always a straight edge. Dimensions are measured as rectangles form the shortest ends.
Remnant Quality
Enjoy the same beautiful felt for half the price! Keep in mind that remnants may have additional creasing, small blemishes and end of roll needle marks. Slight color variation may occur from piece to piece since remnants are coming from different dye lots.
All sale items are FINAL SALE and are not eligible for return.
No, all material will be available starting 9am EST on the day of the sale. All items are first come first serve. No holds. All sales are final.
No, all inventory is available for purchase up until the point of a payment being processed.
Due to limitations out of our control, we are unable to have items locked in shoppers carts as someone could potentially hijack the entire sale. Once you have gone through most of the checkout process, our system will check all products in the cart to ensure that the products are still in stock. This is when our system will hold the products until payment is complete, which is when the products will be removed from the sale's inventory.
All remnant sale orders are prepared at our head office in Mississauga, ON Canada. To avoid any additional fees and higher shipping costs, all US orders containing felt remnants will ship out the Thursday or Friday of the following week.
