#5581 - Navy Wool Flannel - $12.00 yd.

Wool Flannels in the 18th century consisted of a woolen yarn slightly twisted in the spinning and woven in plain or twill weave. This created a soft, spongy wool, not extremely sturdy but but useful for a variety of purposes such as petticoats, gowns, underwaistcoats, jackets, children's clothing etc.  When fulled, flannel would become very lofty creating a soft but thick fabric.  If you intend to full this flannel you could loose 6 to 10 inches per yard in shrinkage.
