Slow, crisp mornings. Chilly weekend afternoons. Freezing cold nights. As summer temperatures give way to fall and winter, we start looking forward to snuggle season.
For us, it means lingering a little longer under the covers before starting the day, finding excuses to curl up on the couch after lunch, and sneaking away at sunset to get under a fluffy comforter. It also means making those moments even cozier with soft sleepwear.
That’s where our favorite kind of warm fabric comes in. With a range of women's flannel pajamas, men's flannel pajamas, and children's flannel pajamas, finding the right pair is simply a matter of preference. From cotton to premium blends, did you know there are two types of this material to choose from? Yarn-dyed and printed.
To help you find your snuggle-season favorites, we thought now was the perfect time to explain the difference.
Yarn-Dyed Flannel Pajamas
For most people, when they picture flannel pajamas, they see: plaids paired with a cozy cabin, a crackling fire, and a mug of something warm in their hands.
For us, when these images come to mind, we think yarn-dyed pajamas.
In this type, instead of adding the pattern to the finished flannel fabric, the yarns are dyed first and then woven together to create the design. The color becomes part of the material itself, giving a rich, dimensional look. This technique is especially well suited to classic patterns like checks and stripes.
The result? A timeless pajama that feels nostalgic.

“Favorite pajamas. Soft, comfortable, well-made, beautiful colors, washes well.” Mitzi B.
Printed Flannel Pajamas
If yarn-dyed brings to mind classic cabins and crackling fires, printed flannel pajamas are where things get a little more personal.
Think patterns that catch the eye. Intricate details. Playful designs. Colors and imagery that say a little something about you.
With printed flannel fabrics, the pattern is applied directly to a soft, single-hued material. This process allows for more intricate designs and a wider range of imagery, giving us more room to play with detail.
The result? Cozy sleepwear that feels unique.
