What Is Winceyette Fabric?
Winceyette fabric is a traditional British term for brushed cotton flannel. It refers to cotton fabric that has been brushed on one or both sides to create a soft, insulating surface.
Cotton winceyette fabric is widely used in the UK for winter clothing and bedding due to its warmth, breathability and comfort.
Soft, Warm & Versatile Cotton Flannel Fabric for Multiple Uses
Brushed cotton fabric is created by gently raising the surface fibres of cotton to produce a soft, fluffy texture. This process gives cotton flannel fabric its signature warmth and cosy feel, making it especially popular for winter garments and home textiles.
Also known as brushed cotton winceyette fabric, this material is widely used across the UK for:
- Pyjamas, nightwear and loungewear
- Children’s clothing and babywear
- Shirts, dresses and casual wear
- Bed linen, pillowcases and duvet covers
- Quilting, patchwork and sewing projects
- Soft furnishings and crafts
Whether you are sourcing 100% brushed cotton fabric for manufacturing or looking for patterned winceyette fabric for retail, our collection provides consistent quality and reliable supply for bulk orders.
