Flannel
Hi,
I came across the term "flannel cloth" in a lesson plan (Wrap the flannel cloth around a piece of wood). I've always used just "flannel" or "a piece of flannel," so this sounds awkward to me. Is "flannel cloth" okay, all the time or in just some situations?
Thanks!

Flannel can either refer to the specific object "a flannel" or can refer to a type of cloth or fabric. In the former case, "flannel" on its own would be correct. In the latter case, "flannel cloth" may be more appropriate.
