I think it gives it more body.

Homespun fabric rags or frays the best because it is a woven fabric, meaning both sides are the same. No wrong side, good two sides. Brushed homespun has one softer side like flannel and a regular side. They are usually plaid patterns or checks. Flannel is the second best for fraying, then denim, then cottons. Batiks are made on a tightly woven cotton so probably not a good choice.
