Brushed Cotton is a lovely fabric that is soft to the touch, during the process of creating the fabric; the cotton is brushed on the face side to remove any lint and fibers. The process leaves a soft face that helps to trap heat; yet as a cotton it is also breathable.
Like Brushed Cotton, Flannel or Flannelette fabric is also brushed whilst it is being made - however this is brushed on both sides, as opposed to just one (like brushed cotton.) Thought to originate in Wales this fabric is slightly ‘fuzzier’ and warmer than brushed cotton and though lightweight, it is sometimes thicker.
