Flannel sheets are noted for their fuzzy softness, warmth, and durability. The fabric can be dyed or printed. It was first popular in Wales in the 17th century. Originally flannel was an all-wool fabric made of woollen or worsted yarns. The surface was brushed into a soft napped finish which obscured the weave method, which may be plain or twill.
Currently, most flannel fabrics are made of cotton or synthetic rayon fibres that are slightly napped on both sides to resemble the old woollen or worsted yarn weaves. This is more economical and hardwearing than wool; also, great for allergy sufferers.
