Soft, warm flannelette fabric has been familiar to many since childhood. This material is used to make blankets, winter blankets, clothes for children and adults, and is also used as a lining for clothes. But besides this, due to its performance characteristics, the bike is also used as a lining for shoes.
Definition of a tale
Reference! Flannelette fabric is a pleasant-to-touch material with a dense structure and soft pile, produced by plain or twill weaving of cotton, wool or wool blend thread.
It is thanks to the special method of weaving the threads that this type of material has a characteristic dense structure.
Practical, which appeared at the beginning of the 18th century in the everyday life of the Russian people flannelette fabric was originally wool and had a coffee tint.
Composition of the bike
Previously, this type of material was produced only from wool fibers. But the price of natural flannelette fabric made from wool was too high. Subsequently, cotton threads began to be added to the composition of such fabric.After this, the material began to differ not only in its high consumer qualities, but also in its reasonable price.
Important! The composition of such fabric sometimes synthetic threads and viscose are added to reduce the cost of the fabric.
It must be taken into account that such additives significantly reduce the heat-protective and hygienic properties of such a material. Besides, Non-natural fabrics have lint that rolls off very quickly.
Bike production
Fabric of this type, just coming out of the loom (harshness), does not have a particularly attractive appearance. For this reason, this material is subsequently subjected to additional processing, which includes:
- thorough cleaning;
- plain coloring;
- printing a drawing;
- final finishing.
This allows you to end up with a fabric with a one-and-a-half-layer weave and double-sided brushing. The weave can be finely patterned or large patterned. It depends on the threads used as weft.
Advantages of the bike
To the main advantages This material includes the following:
- high thermal insulation;
- hypoallergenic;
- strength (not afraid of moisture and tolerates temperature changes);
- wear resistance and long service life;
- reasonable cost;
- no need for special care (if necessary, clean and dry at room temperature).
Important! Such fabric cannot be dried on radiators or heaters. If you have limited time, you can use a hairdryer, but it is not recommended to abuse this method.
The use of flannel in shoes
Shoe bike — soft and fairly dense fabric with a small combed pile on both sides. A lining made of such fabric has high performance characteristics and is used as a practical insulation for demi-season shoes.
Boots or boots lined with flannelette will keep your feet well warm both in early spring and late autumn.
These shoes will be an excellent option and for minor cold weather, when shoes with leather lining are no longer warm enough, and models with fur or wool lining are still too hot.
Tips for choosing shoes with fleece inside
It is recommended to purchase shoes with such a lining for the long transitional season, when the temperature does not yet rise above 10°C. When choosing shoes with this type of lining, it is recommended to pay attention to the density of the material. A high-quality bike should have thick pile and a dense structure. The lining should not have a strong specific odor, and no traces of paint should remain on the hands.
Shoes with flannelette lining are most often chosen by people who value warmth and comfort and prefer natural fabrics. Due to its reasonable price, such shoes are available to a wide range of buyers.
