Flannel Fabric

About

Flannel fabric is a soft woven textile that has been brushed on one or both sides to raise the surface fibers into a nap, creating its characteristic warmth and velvety texture. Most flannel is made from cotton, and the brushing process traps air within the fabric's surface — making it an effective natural insulator. Flannel is available in prints and solids across a range of weights, from lighter options suited to shirts and layering pieces to heavier double-napped flannel ideal for blankets and quilt backing. Its softness, warmth, and easy handling make it one of the most popular cold-weather sewing fabrics.
