Production method

The production of flannel is to first dye part of the wool (or cotton fiber), and then mix in part of the original color wool (or cotton fiber). It is mixed and spun into mixed-color wool yarn, and then woven into fabrics, which are finished by milling and napping. Most of them use twill weave, and plain weave is also used. In addition to all wool (or pure cotton), the raw materials used are generally wool (or cotton) viscose blends, and some are mixed with a small amount of nylon fiber to improve wear resistance.

Practical use

Flannel is suitable for making trousers, tops, and children’s clothing etc. Thin ones can also be used as fabric for shirts and skirts. The raw material is fine wool with a count of 64, and carded wool yarn with a count of 12 or more is used for the warp and weft. The fabric structure includes plain weave, twill, etc., and is finished by milling and raising to give it a full hand feel and a fine suede surface. The weight of the fabric is about 260~320g/m2, and the thin one is about 220g/m2. Loose fiber dyeing is mostly used, mainly black and white mixed into different shades of gray or milky white, light coffee and other colors. There are also piece-dyed plain colors and patterns such as strips and plaids. Flannel is also made of combed wool yarn or cotton yarn as the warp and carded wool yarn as the weft. Carded wool yarn is sometimes spun with a small amount of cotton or viscose.

Flannel is widely used. Mainly because the fabric has many advantages. After the tedious weaving process, the suede of the finished fabric is very thick and feels very soft. The fine velvet in the middle layer of the fabric makes the suede very delicate, which is not seen on other fabrics at all. The rough and twill weaving technique makes the pile of the fabric very tightly arranged without revealing the texture.
