What is flannel?
The word flannel is a foreign word. It is a soft and suede wool fabric woven with carded wool yarn. In China, it generally refers to mixed colors. It is a carded-style woolen fabric made of carded wool yarn. It is covered with a layer of plump, fine and clean velvet, and feels soft and smooth. In the production of flannel, part of the wool is first dyed, and then part of the original color wool is mixed in, and then mixed and spun into mixed-color wool yarn. The woven fabric is finished by milling and napping. Most of the wool is twill weave, but plain weave is also used. In addition to all-wool, the raw materials used are generally wool-viscosity blends, and some are mixed with a small amount of nylon fiber to improve wear resistance.
What is coral velvet
Coral velvet is a new type of fabric made of polyester fiber. Because of the high density between fibers, coral-like shape, good coverage, light and soft body like living coral, and colorful colors, it is named coral velvet. Coral velvet will shed slightly due to the weaving principle, but coral velvet does not pill, fade, is not allergic, has good water absorption properties, does not cause any damage to the skin, and has a fine texture, soft hand feel, beautiful appearance and rich colors. In recent years, a large number of coral velvet bedding products have emerged on the market, such as coral velvet blankets, quilts, pillows and suite sets, etc., which are very popular in the market.
