Flannel Fabric

Flannel Fabric is a soft, medium-weight material that has a napped finish. It was originally made from worsted yarn or carded wool, but today it is made from any wool, cotton, or even synthetic fiber.

Characteristics of flannel fabric:

  • Comfortable and cozy;
  • Retains heat well;
  • Very breathable and does not trap moisture.

Flannel has several traditional uses: cold weather wear, outdoor wear, pajamas and sleepwear, blankets and other home decor.
