17in x 13.5in

Small and thick. Great to take to quilting classes or a retreat when you need a small iron on your table.

My wife is the quilter, and this was a gift for her. I actually bought it because she needed a felt board for piecing, so that she could arrange the parts and be sure of cuts before sewing the block together. Felt boards work great for this because they grab the fabric and the cut pieces won’t slide... you can hold it up to look at the block and the pieces won’t fall off. While shopping for a felt board, I ran into this. Felt is wool, this is wool... so maybe I buy this one for the same price as a cheap felt board and it will work, and provide a larger ironing surface than the smaller square ironing pad she has. Well, it worked perfectly for both! Holds fabric for piecing, and is a great ironing pad besides. Two for the reasonable price of one, and it came with a full size silicone Iron pad as a freebie. Now, about the smell: I read the inserts in the package warning of a “wool smell” that would be present during the first use. I read several Amazon reviews that mentioned it, including one horror story that said it smelled of cat pee and had to be hidden from the dog. Because of this, I opened the package and ironed on it for a while before giving it to my wife. I used multiple settings (including high) with my wife’s quilting iron. No bad smells, and definitely no cat pee odors. Ironed a while longer... nothing. If if held it to my nose, I could detect a slight felty fabric scent, but very slight. I don’t know what all the fuss is, it really had no smell. Perhaps I got a sheep with better hygiene skills, who knows. But no odor problem here. I’m happy with it!

Love this mat. Works as described. It didn’t smell, it protected my table top, and fabric doesn’t slide around while pressing. Great size to use next to sewing machine. Highly recommend, great quality. Heat resistance is great.

Very nice, celo wrapped, iron pad enclosed. this one is a great size for my table and small ironing needs. I thought about the larger one but this is actually perfect for now. I am a hobby sewist artist. Gray color very soft comes with directions using your iron to protect iron and pad. Pad is not as thick as I thought but it is wool and will protect my wood table top. I am using instead of my ironing board which is very wood and very vintage, while I love it, it doesn't need to be up all the time, this pressing pad mat really does the trick, Easy to use, glad I purchased it, great find. I hope this review was found helpful for at least us hobby crafters out there. Thank you

The product is fine. The ironing mat works great. But.... the packaging it arrived in was subpar! It was in a torn clear cheap celophone wrap with the address sticker affixed. It is amazing that it didn't slide out and get lost. The silicone iron pad has a 2" slice in it. Not happy about that!!!

Great product! Makes pressing so much easier in my "tiny home."

This mat works great! I keep it to the right of my sewing machine for quick pressing of quilt pieces. I have placed a heat and moisture resistant mat under the wool mat to protect the sewing table. I tested the mat, and with prolonged use, heat and moisture from steam or spray will go through it. The size is perfect for quilters, and the thickness is just as advertised. I think this mat is great for the price.

What a wonderful product!!! Great invention for ironing, quick to iron upon it ie installation, light weight and size to transfer from place to place or home. Only negative comment is in storage instruction mentioned to keep covered in a durable cover but did not come with item ie what quality of cover needed for this wool type of product was my dilemma.

Its great! Just what I need. Haven't had any problems with it, but I always put it inside a pillowcase before ironing on top.

I love my wool Matt and how it convenient it is. Makes ironing a breeze!
