It’s Flannel Season
Flannel first emerged in the 17th century, created by the Welsh as a replacement to their plain wool garb. Made out of worsted yarn, napped on one or both sides, and sourced from the country’s multitudinous herds of sheep, the fabric provided much better protection against the Welsh’s notoriously wet and windy winters; it’s unclear who named the stuff, but the French called it flanelle, the Germans Flanell
Wearing a flannel shirt is like getting a hug from a loved one. It’s warm, soft, and comforting. Do you have a favorite flannel shirt?
