Before we can learn about Women's Flannel Shawls, we must understand the meaning of "flannel". Flannel is a soft woven fabric that can be produced in a wide variety of fineness. Flannel was originally made from carded wool or worsted yarn, but is now often made from either wool, cotton, or synthetic fiber. Flannel may be brushed to create extra softness or remain un-brushed. Although brushing can add to the softness, it is important for manufacturers to keep in mind that over brushing can weaken the fibers.
- Brushing is a mechanical process wherein a fine metal brush rubs the fabric to raise fine fibers from the loosely spun yarns to form a nap on one side or both sides.
Flannel is commonly used to make plaid (tartan) clothing. Tartan is a pattern consisting of criss-crossed horizontal and vertical bands in multiple colors. However, flannel does not have to be a plaid pattern. The association between flannel and plaid has led to the incorrect use of flannel as a synonym for plaid. Flannel can be solid color, stripes, etc.
