Flannel is a soft fabric with a light nap raised on one or both sides, which traps warmth and gives it a pleasant fuzziness. It is prized for cosiness, which is why flannel is a favorite for winter and children's textiles.
Composition and Weight
Classic flannel is 100% cotton, occasionally blended with wool or viscose. The nap is raised mechanically by lifting fibers from the surface of the cloth. Weight is typically 150–200 GSM; heavier flannel is warmer and more durable.
- Warmth: the nap traps air and retains body heat.
- Softness: gentle on skin, safe for babies.
- Breathability: the cotton base lets air through well.
- Care: may shrink slightly; wash warm and avoid high heat.
Where It Is Used
Swaddles and children's clothing, warm bedding, pyjamas and shirts, loungewear and checked winter shirts. Checked flannel is a fall-winter wardrobe classic.
