For small objects you might look at some "polar fleece" in a fabric
store. It's a man-made material (IIRC it's made from recycled plastic soda
bottles). I've used it for "table top" backdrops and a cover for the
pedestal(s) elevating the object(s). Has very, very low reflectance and
near zero weave pattern; properties similar to the felt you've used.
The stuff used as canvas for "black art" is velour.

The word I was searching for as to the fabric I use is felt. The stuff
that is used for black art escapes me. If I can find the name and phone #
of the guy making the black art I will ask him. I havent seen him in a
year or so. I once used the inside of a 20 x 24 sheet film box top to
shoot some flowers. It worked pretty good.
