Flannel

Flannel is a loosely woven fabric known for being soft and warm. Flannel’s characteristic softness comes from a brushing process after it is woven, where the fabric is brushed on one or both sides (called “napping”) to raise fine fibers and make it feel even softer. The softest, coziest flannel is 100% cotton. Common uses are quilts, quilt backs, baby quilts, swaddling blankets and burp cloths.
