Pico Textiles Red and Gray Tartan Plaid Flannel Fabric - 60in Wide

In this review the Pico Textiles 15 Yards Bolt of red and gray tartan plaid flannel stands out as a straightforward choice for sewists and home crafters who need a large, consistent supply of soft cotton flannel. The bottom line: this bolt is best for projects that benefit from a medium-weight, warm fabric sold in bulk. Its 15 yard bolt format and 60in width make it a practical option for makers tackling multiple shirts, pajamas, throws or baby blankets without frequent re-matching of pattern repeats.

Key Features

• 100% Cotton: Natural fiber composition offers breathability and a soft hand, suitable for garments and baby items that touch skin.
• 60in Width: Extra-wide fabric reduces seams on wide projects like throws and receiving blankets, saving time and material.
• Medium Weight: The moderate thickness provides warmth without being overly heavy, making it a good choice for winter garments and loungewear.
• 15 Yard Bolt: Sold in 15 yard sections so larger orders arrive as whole bolts for easier cutting and consistent pattern matching.
• Warm & Cozy: The flannel retains heat well and is comfortable for scarves, pajamas and snuggly household items during cooler months.
• Resilient & Easy to Care For: Cotton flannel tolerates regular use and is generally machine washable, simplifying maintenance of finished projects.

Who It's For

This fabric is aimed at hobbyists, small-batch makers and home sewists who need a reliable, soft cotton flannel in a classic tartan for clothing, baby items and home textiles. The 15 yard bolt size is especially useful for people making sets of garments or multiple blankets who want consistent yardage across pieces.

Those who should look elsewhere include sewists seeking ultra-lightweight shirting cotton or heavyweight outdoors fabric; likewise, people who only need a yard or two may prefer single-yard listings rather than a 15 yard bolt intended for larger projects.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Soft, natural 100% cotton hand that is comfortable next to skin for shirts, scarves and baby items.
• Wide 60in bolt width reduces seams and simplifies layout for larger projects like throws and receiving blankets.
• Medium weight offers good warmth without bulky stiffness, suitable for loungewear and pajamas.
• Sold in 15 yard bolts which helps maintain pattern consistency across multiple cuts.

Cons

• Sold only in 15 yard sections, so it is not ideal for buyers who need small quantities.
• Colorways are limited to the tartan shown, so it may not suit projects needing solid or specialty prints.

Our Verdict

The Pico Textiles 15 yard tartan flannel bolt is a practical, value-minded option for makers who need substantial yardage of a soft, warm cotton flannel.
