Why is Baize Used for Card Tablecloths?

Baize is traditionally used as a card play surface because of the optimum friction and give it provides, with green being the traditional colour.

Baize, Not Felt

The fabric we use for all our baize cloths is top-quality British-made baize which is 95% merino wool and 5% nylon.

There is a lot of confusion about the difference between baize and felt. This isn’t surprising when you search online and find many suppliers describing felt as baize, or a fabric as ‘baize felt’ or ‘felt baize’. It’s important to know whether you’re buying baize or felt, because the two fabrics are very different. To read more about the differences be sure to check out our article Baize or Felt?
