What should I know about ordering and bolt sizing?

Fabric is packaged and sold in 2-yard bolts; each unit represents a single 2-yard section. If you need 4 yards, order a quantity of 2 and you will receive two separate 2-yard bolts. This helps maintain colour and pattern consistency across larger projects when additional bolts are required.

How do I care for cotton flannel to keep it soft and lasting?

Care is straightforward: wash on a gentle or cold cycle, avoid harsh detergents, and tumble dry low or line dry to maintain softness and reduce shrinkage. Brushing and moderate heat from an iron can refresh the brushed face if it flattens after washing.

• Wash: gentle or cold machine wash to reduce wear.
• Drying: low-heat tumble or air dry to minimize shrinkage.
• Ironing: use medium heat; steam lightly to restore nap.
