Popular Uses for Craft Felt
Craft felt is one of the most versatile materials in the shop. It cuts cleanly without fraying, glues easily, takes embroidery thread well, and comes in dozens of colours. Common projects include:
Soft toys and amigurumi
Christmas ornaments, Advent calendars and seasonal decorations
Classroom and homeschool craft activities
Applique, quilting accents and patchwork detailing
Hat blanks, millinery and costume work
Themed party decorations and photo-booth props
Wool vs Acrylic Craft Felt: Which Should You Buy?
Wool felt is the premium choice. It holds its shape, resists pilling, and ages beautifully — the right material for hat-making, heirloom soft toys, hand-stitched projects and anything you want to last.
Acrylic and blended felt is the everyday workhorse. It comes in a much wider colour palette, costs a fraction of wool, and is the standard pick for kids' craft, school art rooms and seasonal decorations. Choose acrylic when colour variety and budget matter more than longevity.

Established 1902
About Arbee Craft
The Arbee Business began in 1902. The owner Mr. R.B.Stevens, a leather merchant, started the business to sell his leather items.
The original Arbee business, shop and factory, was in Swanston Street, Melbourne.
By the 1930s Arbee had expanded to make the famous Arbee moccasins. These became well known as they had durable cowhide on the outside and a layer of lambswool on the inside. Arbee made the moccasins for many years and the kits were very popular in the 1960s and 1970s. During this time Arbee diversified with some other products that were popular e.g. cane items.
