Brushed fabric goes through a brushing process that makes it extra soft to the touch. It’s also breathable and very warm, perfect for cold weather conditions.
It’s like a dreamy, cozy blanket. Brushed cotton fabrics are a great choice for those who love the look of percale but want something a little cozier.
Softness
Brushed fabrics are incredibly soft and comfortable. Their gentle brushing process enhances their thermal insulation properties, making them breathable and ensuring that the body’s temperature remains steady, even in cold conditions.
This makes them the ideal choice for creating activewear pieces and pajamas. They are also a popular choice for t-shirts and other casual clothing.
Coziness
Cozy is a feeling that evokes warm memories, like curling up with your favorite book or snuggling under the covers. It’s the sense of being snug and comfortable, but also safe to let your guard down and relax.
When it comes to bedding, nothing beats the coziness of brushed cotton. It’s thicker and more durable than percale, but it’s still breathable enough to prevent overheating. This makes it a great choice for cold weather.
To create brushed cotton, raw cotton fibers are woven together, then rubbed with metal brushes to raise the yarns and make them softer. Excess lint is removed during this process, leaving the fabric with an irresistibly soft feel. Brushed cotton is a perfect option for people who love the look of percale but want something a bit cozier.
Insulation
Brushed fabric is naturally insulating, because the brushing process raises the fluffy fibres, which trap more air particles that retain body heat. So it's a great choice for autumn or winter clothing.
The brushed finish of the fabric also makes it less susceptible to heat loss by radiation. While it is more conductive than unbrushed fabrics, the structure of the yarns in a brushed fabric obstructs the flow of heat by radiation and reduces heatloss as much as possible.
Easy to Sew
Double brushed polyester is an incredibly versatile fabric. It’s a knit that’s been brushed on both sides for a fluffy texture and typically has 4-8% spandex. It’s used in apparel like leggings but can also be sewn into furnishing items like pillow cases and duvet covers for a cozy winter look.
It’s also very easy to sew with. It doesn’t slip, irons easily and is machine washable. It’s also not prone to shrinking as some other fabrics are so you can sew confidently knowing your garments and accessories will fit well for years to come.
Our collection of brushed poly fabric includes solid colors as well as prints that will add a pop of personality to your wardrobe. Take your style to the next level with a new tee or pair of leggings made from this supple, soft and comfortable fabric!
Easy to Print
Brushed cotton is a woven fabric that undergoes a special process during the end stages of creation. Manufacturers brush the face side of the fabric using metal machine brushes to remove lint and raised fibers. This makes the fabric feel soft and cozy to the touch.
In the fashion industry, this fabric is popular for creating T-shirts and sweatshirts. It is insulating and helps to trap heat in cold weather. It is also commonly used in bedding fabrics to add extra coziness to bedsheets and other household items.
Printing with this fabric is easy. You can use a printable fabric sheet or an iron-on transfer. If you are printing with an iron-on, choose a mirror print setting to avoid tangled or misaligned images. This will also make your finished piece look more polished.
