Pico Textiles 5 Yards Bolt Black and White Buffalo Plaid Flannel

In this review the Pico Textiles 5 yard bolt of black and white buffalo plaid cotton flannel is evaluated for makers who need reliable, cozy fabric in larger quantities. The bottom line: this is a straightforward, medium-weight cotton flannel sold in convenient 5 yard sections that suits sewing projects where softness and warmth matter, such as shirts, pajamas, scarves and baby blankets. It is especially useful when a wider 60' width and multiple-yard cuts are required without piecing seams.

Key Features

• Fabric content: 100% cotton gives a natural, breathable feel that reduces irritation against skin for garments and baby items.
• Width: At 60' wide the bolt allows cutting large pieces such as throws or receiving blankets with fewer seams.
• Bolt size: Sold in 5 yard sections so buyers ordering multiples receive full bolts, useful for consistent yardage and matching patterns.
• Weight and warmth: Medium weight flannel provides good heat retention for winter loungewear without being overly bulky.
• Care: The resilient cotton composition tolerates regular use and can generally be machine washed, keeping projects practical.

Who It's For

The Pico Textiles bolt is aimed at home sewists, small-scale makers and crafters who need a classic black and white tartan plaid in a usable wide width and prefer natural fibers. It is a good fit for people making shirts, pajamas, scarves, soft swaddle or receiving blankets, and lightweight throws.

It is less suitable for projects that require very lightweight shirting fabric or heavy outerwear; likewise those needing a printed pattern repeat larger than the buffalo check should verify scale before buying. Buyers wanting continuous yardage beyond a single bolt should order multiples, which are shipped as separate 5 yard sections.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Soft 100% cotton hand feels comfortable against skin for baby items and sleepwear.
• Wide 60' width reduces seam work for large projects like throws and blankets.
• Medium weight gives a good balance of warmth and drape for loungewear and cozy accessories.
• Sold by 5 yard bolts so yardage is easy to plan for repeated projects.

Cons

• Medium weight may be too heavy for lightweight shirts or tailored garments needing crisp structure.
• Pattern matching across multiple 5 yard bolts requires care since yardage is shipped in separate sections.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this fabric prewashed?
Answer. The product description does not specify prewashing so prewashing before cutting and sewing is recommended to allow for normal cotton shrinkage.

How is yardage shipped if I buy more than one?
Answer. Each quantity equals a 5 yard bolt; for example quantity 2 ships as two separate 5 yard bolts totaling 10 yards.

Can this be machine washed?
Answer. The flannel is described as machine washable in general due to resilient cotton composition, though care instructions from the maker should be followed.
