winceyette?

[hana]

is winceyette the same as flannette? I'm looking for some wide width flannel to make some sheets for an awkward size mattress for the dds - but don't want to buy until I know they are one and the same

can anyone shed any light on this??!!
thank you!

don't think its the same thing is it.

They used to make nighties out of wincyette

thanks pixiefish

will keep googling then!

would the brits call it brushed cotton then, or flannel or flannelette?

winceyette- a lightweight brushed cotton fabric, used especially for nightclothes.

flanelette- a napped cotton fabric resembling flannel

Brushed cotton is a cotton that has been brushed

All 3 are different things so for making bed sheets you need either flanelette or brushed cotton
