About Flannel
Flannel is a soft woven fabric that has been brushed to create a soft, fuzzy nap on one or both sides. It is traditionally made from wool or cotton. Cotton flannel is the most common today and is used in shirts, pyjamas, and bed linen. Wool flannel is heavier and used in suits and outerwear. Flannel is known for its warmth and softness.
