This thick, absorbent Scrap Felt Placemat / Drying Mat works as perfectly under a dish drying rack as it does on your dinner table. And the best part (we think) is that it is a totally upcycled product. We felt multiple layers of our flannel fabric strips (that might otherwise go into the waste stream) together to create a new, absorbent fabric we call Scrap Felt. We then cut and sew this unique new fabric into these Placemats / Drying Mats. Each Scrap Felt item is unique, versatile and totally upcycled. This truly multi-purpose Placemat / Drying Mat absorbs liquid and creates a protective barrier for surfaces.
