Flannel Characteristics

There are two kinds of single-sided fleece and double-sided fleece. The single-sided fleece is mainly twill, also known as serge fleece; the double-sided fleece is mainly plain weave. The flannel is soft, comfortable to wear, and has good warmth retention. It is suitable for winter underwear and pajamas. Printed flannel and yarn-dyed striped flannel are suitable for spring and autumn outerwear for women and children. Flannel printed with images of animals, flowers and fairy tales, also known as Beibei velvet, is suitable for children. Natural velvet, bleached velvet, assorted velvet, and sesame velvet are generally used for winter clothing, gloves, shoe and hat clips, etc. The fluffing of the flannel is formed by the repeated action of the wire needle tip of the brushing machine, and a part of the fibers are pulled up on the surface of the grey cloth. The fluff is required to be short, dense and uniform. Printed fleece is brushed before printing, and bleached and variegated fleece is brushed at the end. The warp yarn used in the grey fabric of the flannel should be fine; the weft yarn should be thick and less twisted. Cotton fibers used for weft spinning should be thick and have good uniformity. The warp density of the fabric is smaller, and the weft density is larger, so that the weft yarns appear on the surface, which is conducive to the formation of plump and uniform piles of the weft yarn cotton fibers. After the fleece is brushed, the weft strength loss is relatively large, so it is very important to master the quality of the cotton yarn and the brushing process operation. Cotton cloth with fluff, piled on one or both sides, especially for underwear and pajamas.
