Process Overview:
Brushing or napping fabric technology is a finishing process in which the fabric surface is brushed with fine rollers or wire-covered brushes to raise fibers and create a soft, fuzzy texture. This treatment enhances warmth, comfort, and softness while giving the fabric a fuller appearance. The process is commonly used on woven or knitted fabrics made from cotton, wool, polyester, or blends.

Advantages and Limitations:
Brushed fabrics provide a warm, cozy, and soft touch, making them ideal for cold-weather garments and home textiles. Advantages include enhanced comfort, insulation, and a pleasant hand feel. Limitations include potential pilling, reduced durability with heavy use, and a tendency to trap dust or lint. The process works best on cotton, wool, polyester, flannel, fleece, and blended fabrics.

Ideal Applications:

• Cotton / Flannel: shirts, pajamas, casual wear

• Wool / Wool blends: coats, scarves, winter accessories

• Polyester / Fleece: sportswear, hoodies, blankets

• Home textiles: bedding, throws, cushions
