Before we can learn about Women's yarn Dyed Flannel Robes, 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 Flannel was originally made from carded wool or worsted yarn, but is now often made from either wool, cotton, or synthetic fiber.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.

A robe is a loose-fitting outer garment. Unlike garments described as capes or cloaks, robes usually have sleeves. Ladies bathrobes can be produced from various fabrics. Flannel is one of the popular options. A bathrobe, dressing gown or morning gown is a robe, a loose-fitting outer garment, which may be worn by men or women. A dressing gown may be worn over nightwear or other clothing, or with nothing underneath. Dressing gowns are typically worn around the house and bathrobes may sometimes be worn after shower (bath) or around a pool.
Dyeing is the application of dyes or pigments on textile materials such as fibers, yarns, and fabrics with the objective of achieving color with desired fastness. Dyeing is normally done in a special solution containing dyes and particular chemical material.
In regard to yarn dyed flannel, the concept is that the yarns are dyed specific colors before weaving. This is opposed to a piece dyed fabric which means that the entire fabric is dyed. The dyed yarns are woven into fabric so that interesting patterns can be created such as plaid.
There are many forms of yarn dyeing. Common forms are the package form and the hanks form. Cotton yarns are mostly dyed at package form, and acrylic or wool yarn are dyed at hank form. In the continuous filament industry, polyester or polyamide yarns are always dyed at package form, while viscose rayon yarns are partly dyed at hank form because of technology.
Note: most plaid flannel is yarn dyed fabric. However, it is possible to print plaid on fabric as well. Unfortunately, printed flannel typically won't be as soft as yarn dyed flannel because the textile mills can't brush the fabric as much because it could damage the print appearance.
A women's flannel robe may be worn for warmth, as a convenient covering over nightwear when not being in bed. When choosing a flannel robe, one with plaid patterns is often a popular choice. Plaids come in a wide variety of color and pattern options.
