Brushed arnel feels like a short pile velvrteen. It is a man-made fiber. It used to be used for robes and housecoats. And, yes, it has been sround for quite a while.
I am not even sure if it is still being made.

What's the preferred method for pre-washing and pre-shrinking flannel? What do you do to keep the uncut flannel from fraying in the washer/dryer? Can you use a quilt top made of unwashed cotton with a pre-washed flannel back? Sorry for the rookie questions ...

Does it fray crazily if you piece with it? I pieced a non-flannel top with half the fabrics fraying, and I had to run tiny stitches of Aurifil along the seam allowances. It was a nightmare. That said, those plaid flannels always catch my eye in the fall.
