Pico Textiles Red White Green Tartan Plaid Flannel Fabric - 5 Yard

In this review of the Pico Textiles 5 Yards Bolt red, white and green tartan plaid flannel fabric, the bottom line is simple: crafters and home sewists who want a classic, soft cotton flannel in a generous bolt will be pleased. Our review finds this fabric best for winter shirts, pajamas, scarves and lightweight throws because it combines natural cotton comfort with a medium weight that retains warmth without feeling bulky. The fact that it is sold in 5 yard sections and is 60' wide makes it especially useful when larger pieces or multiple matching garments are needed.

Key Features

• 100% Cotton: Natural fibers provide breathable softness that is comfortable next to skin for shirts, pajamas and baby blankets.
• 60' Wide Width: Extra-wide material reduces seams when cutting larger items like throws or matching pajama sets.
• Medium Weight: Good heat retention without excessive bulk, making it suitable for layered garments and loungewear.
• 5 Yard Bolt: Sold by five yard sections so purchasing multiple quantities yields predictable bolt lengths for larger projects.
• Tartan Plaid Pattern: Classic red, white and green plaid gives a timeless seasonal look for scarves, shirts or holiday crafts.
• Machine Washable: Resilient cotton composition handles regular home laundering for easy care.

Who It's For

Seamstresses, quilters and hobbyists who need a dependable flannel in a traditional tartan will find this bolt especially useful; the 60' width and 5 yard sections suit makers who cut multiple pieces from the same run. It also works well for parents sewing pajamas, swaddles or receiving blankets who prefer natural cotton over synthetics.

Those who need ultra-lightweight summer fabrics, water-resistant material, or specialized stretch knits should look elsewhere, since this is a medium weight woven cotton flannel designed for warmth and softness rather than technical performance.
