Brushed Cotton FAQ

What is brushed cotton?
Brushed cotton is cotton fabric that has been brushed on one or both sides to raise the fibres, giving it a softer, warmer feel than standard woven cotton.

What is the difference between brushed cotton, winceyette and flannel?
They are closely related. Winceyette is a lightweight brushed cotton often used for nightwear, while cotton flannel is usually slightly heavier and commonly found in check designs for shirts.

What can I make with brushed cotton?
It’s a popular choice for pyjamas, nightdresses, lounge pants, shirts, baby blankets and cot sheets, or any project where softness and warmth matter.

Should I wash brushed cotton before sewing?
Yes, we recommend pre-washing, as natural cotton fabrics can shrink slightly on the first wash.
