Cozy Flannel Fabric Collection

Discover the warmth and comfort of flannel fabrics at My Fabric Villa! Known for their soft, brushed texture and cozy feel, flannel fabrics are perfect for creating snuggly quilts, comfortable clothing, and warm home décor that brings comfort to every season.

What is Flannel Fabric?

Flannel is a soft, medium-weight cotton fabric that has been brushed on one or both sides to create a fuzzy, napped surface. This brushing process traps air, making flannel naturally insulating and incredibly soft to the touch. Originally made from wool, modern flannel is typically made from 100% cotton for easy care and comfort.

Characteristics of Flannel

• Breathable: Cotton base allows air circulation while maintaining warmth
• Durable: Quality flannel withstands regular washing and use
• Easy Care: Machine washable and gets softer with each wash

• Consider Batting: Flannel quilts may need less batting due to the fabric's warmth
