Classic, versatile and easy to wear, this 100% cotton lightweight flannel fabric features a timeless heritage-inspired plaid on a warm beige ground. The traditional check combines neutral tones with contrasting accent lines for a polished plaid that works beautifully for shirts, pajamas and everyday garments.

At 150 gsm / 4.42 oz, this flannel is lightweight enough for comfortable garment sewing while still offering the cozy character associated with classic flannel. Compared with heavier winter flannels, its lighter construction reduces bulk and makes it particularly suitable for button-up shirts, shirt dresses, relaxed tops and sleepwear.

The yarn-dyed construction means the individual yarns are dyed before weaving. Different coloured yarns are woven together to form the plaid itself rather than having the design simply printed onto the surface of the finished fabric.

Made from 100% cotton, this lightweight flannel is breathable and comfortable to wear. Its classic plaid and versatile neutral palette make it an excellent choice for fall and winter wardrobes, cozy sleepwear and casual layering pieces.
