Brushed fabric by the yard features a soft, raised surface that delivers warmth and a cozy feel. Medium-weight (180–300gsm) and versatile, it’s perfect for hoodies, sweatshirts, joggers, cozy sweat sets, robes, throws, and baby blankets.
Brushed fabric gets its signature velvety hand feel from a mechanical finishing process where fine wire brushes raise the surface fibers, creating a layer of soft nap that traps warmth and feels gentle against the skin. This makes it a natural choice for garments that sit close to the body, like hoodies, joggers, robes, and sleepwear. If you're comparing textures, brushed fabric sits somewhere between the structured weight of Boiled Wool Fabric and the plush pile of Chenille Fabric, offering everyday warmth without bulk.
Our brushed fabrics are available in weights ranging from 180gsm to 300gsm, giving sewists and manufacturers the flexibility to choose the right density for their project. Lighter weights in the 180–220gsm range are ideal for baby blankets and lightweight loungewear, while heavier options above 250gsm suit outerwear linings and thick robes. Pair a mid-weight brushed cotton blend with 4 Way Stretch Fabric for athletic-inspired pieces that move with the body while keeping it warm. For home goods like throws and Blanket Fabric projects, the heavier end of our range delivers the cozy heft customers expect.
We stock brushed fabric in both pure Cotton Fabric and cotton-polyester blends, each with distinct performance characteristics. Cotton-dominant blends breathe naturally and are gentler on sensitive skin, making them the preferred choice for baby items and next-to-skin garments. Poly blends, on the other hand, resist shrinkage, hold their shape through repeated washing, and tend to be more affordable for high-volume wholesale orders. Whether you're a small-batch designer or a large-scale manufacturer, our range of fiber compositions gives you real options without compromise.
When warmth and comfort are non-negotiable, brushed fabric delivers where other materials fall short. Our wholesale selection spans a carefully curated range of cotton and poly-blend brushed fabrics, all finished to produce that unmistakable soft, raised surface that sewists and manufacturers rely on for cold-weather collections. Available by the yard with no compromise on quality, these fabrics are engineered to perform — whether you're cutting hoodies for a streetwear brand or crafting robes for a boutique spa line. If you work with Polyester Fabric regularly, you'll appreciate how our poly-blend brushed options combine the durability and easy-care properties of synthetics with the cozy hand feel typically associated with natural fibers. For those who prefer natural options, our brushed Cotton Fabric selections offer breathability and skin-friendly comfort that's hard to beat in the baby and loungewear categories.
Brushed fabric's appeal spans an impressive range of end uses, making it one of the most versatile cold-weather textiles in any wholesale catalog. Apparel designers reach for it when constructing hoodies, sweatpants, joggers, and zip-up jackets where the interior needs to feel as good as the exterior looks. It's equally at home in the home goods space — think cozy throw blankets, plush cushion covers, and soft Blanket Fabric projects that customers pick up and immediately want to wrap themselves in. The napped surface also adds a visual depth and richness to finished pieces that plain jerseys and standard knits simply can't replicate.
Ordering brushed fabric wholesale through Global Fabric Wholesale means you get consistent dye lots, reliable weight specifications, and the flexibility to buy exactly the yardage your production run demands. Whether you're a small independent designer who needs a few yards to sample a new silhouette or a large manufacturer placing bulk orders for a seasonal collection, our pricing and minimum order structure is built to scale with you. If you're building out a full fabric sourcing plan, consider pairing brushed fabrics with complementary options like Fuzzy Fabric for textured accents or Modal Fabric for lightweight layering pieces that complement heavier brushed outerwear.
