Etymology
The term 'flannel' originates from the Welsh word 'gwlanen', which means 'fleece' or 'woolen cloth'. It is believed to have been introduced into the English language in the 16th century. Flannel was originally made from carded wool, and its use quickly spread due to its beneficial warmth and comfort. The process of 'flanneling', as it relates to the treatment and production of this fabric, developed alongside the industrial revolution when textile manufacturing became more widespread. The brushing and raising of fibers that define flanneling enhance its softness and thermal properties, making it a staple textile in many household items. Over the years, flannel has evolved, incorporating various materials, but the core concept of flanneling remains centered around creating a soft, warm, and comfortable fabric.
