This good value 100% certified Organic cotton diaper is made of a soft brushed cotton flannelette.
The outer layers are soft flannelette, print gingham on the outside, white inside.
Technically, woolen flannel was called flannelette and had a light nap to the material.
The tendency to spin finer counts has been to some extent counteracted by the development of the flannelette trade, for which heavy wefts are used, and there has been again a tendency lately to use "condensor" or waste wefts, which has worked to the disadvantage of the spinners of the regular coarse counts spun at Royton and elsewhere.
Of course the partial loss of the piece-goods trade by the shops is not a loss in aggregate trade, as they are the ultimate distributors of the made-up garments, which are probably at least as profitable to retail as calico or flannelette sold in lengths.
