Buy brushed cotton fabric by the metre

Brushed cotton is cotton fabric whose surface has been lightly brushed to raise the fibres, giving it a soft, slightly fuzzy feel and extra warmth. It is sometimes called flannelette or cotton flannel.

That cosy handle makes it a favourite for autumn and winter sewing: pyjamas and nightwear, lounge trousers, check shirts, children’s clothing, baby blankets, cot sheets and duvet covers.

Plain and printed brushed cotton

Choose plain brushed cotton for linings, bedding and basics, or printed and yarn-dyed checks for shirts, nightwear and quilts.

Brushed cotton FAQs

Does brushed cotton shrink?

Like most cottons it can shrink slightly, so pre-wash it at the temperature you intend to use before cutting.

Is brushed cotton the same as flannel?

They are very similar. Flannel is often brushed on both sides, while brushed cotton may be brushed on one or both.
