Cotton Flannel Fabric

Can you tell me where to find info on 100% cotton flannel fabric? Like how it's made and what's so good about it?

Flannel is a soft woven fabric, of various fineness. It usually doesn't have a nap, and instead gains its softness through the loosely spun yarn it is woven from. It is commonly used to make clothing, bed sheets, and sleepwear.

Flannel was originally made from carded wool[citation needed] or worsted yarn, but is now often made from either wool and cotton, or wool and synthetic fibre.

Does anyone know how to care 100 % cotton fabric??
Mine is Flannel fabric.// cotton flannel
Does anyone have care label? (100% cotton flannel)
U know... care label symbols

Please HELP !!!

Everything I own that is flannel is machine washable. I wash the items in cold water and dry on low heat. 100% cotton will almost surely shrink, so allowances need to be made for that. Since you don't say what you have that is flannel, it's really hard to tell you exactly how to care for it. You might want to add more details to your question.

How are you drying it?? If you wash it in hot water, then dry it using a regular hot cycle in your dryer, then yes... it's going to shrink like crazy. Cool wash, very little detergent, delicate low heat in your dryer by themselves, very little time.

How do I prepare/wash and dry new cotton flannel fabrics so they dye colors don't run all over? I will be making a quilt of some lights and darks combined and am washing and drying in HOT water to make sure it will all shrink before I cut.

Soak them in COLD water....Then add a LOT of salt , (A few cups), dissolve the salt well......Let them soak for at least 24 hours in the cold salty water.
When material is dyed, it should always be done in salty water as the salt 'sets' or 'fixes' the dye. If the dye has not been 'set' properly, 'bleeding' can be reduced a lot by salting after the dyeing. Also ALWAYS wash in cold water, and it doesn't hurt to add a cup of salt to the wash water also.
