Flannel

Description

These days, types of flannel are often known by their association with certain Welsh towns or regions. Llanidloes flannel is very different from Newtown flannel, for instance, and Welsh flannel varieties vary significantly from all other European flannel types.

As plaid experienced a brief resurgence in popularity in the 1990s, flannel also became in higher demand. Over the years, however, the definition of “flannel” has loosened and separated from the original Welsh meaning. Nowadays, fabrics made with artificial fibers are considered to be in the same general category as traditional Welsh flannel garments that have been passed down through the generations.
