Etymology
The term 'flannelet' is derived from the word 'flannel', which itself comes from the Welsh word 'gwlanen', meaning 'wool'. Flannel became popular in the 17th century, primarily used for its warmth and softness. Over time, the term flannelet emerged to describe a lighter version of flannel, often made with cotton. By the late 19th century, manufacturers started using the term flannelet to refer specifically to this lighter fabric, which was particularly beloved for children's clothing. Its soft and gentle touch made it a favorite for baby textiles and garments, solidifying its place in the fabric market. With advancements in textile technology, flannelet continues to be a popular choice for cozy apparel and home textiles today.
