| 释义 | flannel (once / 1013 pages) 1n 2n 3n Flannel is a warm, soft cotton or wool fabric. Plaid work shirts are commonly made of flannel. Flannel has been around since the 1700s, when it was created in Welsh textile mills.

Another kind of flannel is a washcloth or cloth for cleaning. The word flannel is probably related to the Welsh gwlanen, "woolen cloth."
