Fior di flanella Caleffi is the cotton flannel used for the production of winter sheets. The best cotton fabric is selected by our experts to be processed and used for winter garments. It’s a twill weave fabric that undergoes different finishing treatments: fulling, gauging and combing. In particular, the gauze lifts the down holding the air and acting as thermal insulation.

Characteristics

The main characteristic of Cotton Flannel is the incomparable softness: the hairy surface makes it the fabric appreciated by both adults and children. Thanks to the workmanship carried out on the fabric, it is particularly hot and acts as thermal insulation keeping the air. Despite being a particularly warm fabric, it has an extreme lightness on the body.

Washing

All fabrics in cotton flannel are subject to the phenomenon of pilling, ie the formation of pellets. This phenomenon is not due to a poor quality of the product but to the treatment of gauging that the tissue undergoes. It is not possible to eliminate this phenomenon but only limit it by washing the product before the use of drying at low temperature in the dryer.

Warm Cotton Fabric

Warm Cotton fabric is less heavy than cotton flannel. It has a lighter gauze than flannel but retains more heat than simple cotton.
Caleffi uses the fabric in warm cotton for the realization of the complete sheets indicated for autumn/ winter.

Characteristics

The particularly soft and enveloping hand is perfect to accompany you on cold nights.
Compared to flannel fabric, it is less prone to the phenomenon of pilling, that is to the formation of pellets.
