Flannelette, also known as flannel, is a soft and cozy fabric renowned for its warmth and comfort. It is typically made from cotton or a blend of cotton and synthetic fibers, such as polyester, that are brushed to create a fuzzy, plush texture on one or both sides of the fabric.

One of the distinguishing features of flannelette is its brushed surface, which gives it a slightly raised nap or pile. This nap traps warm air close to the body, making flannelette an excellent choice for cold-weather clothing, bedding, and linens. The brushing process not only enhances the fabric’s tactile appeal but also contributes to its ability to retain warmth without being heavy or bulky.

While flannelette is traditionally associated with winter and colder climates, it is also available in lighter weights and designs suitable for year-round wear.
