St. Cloud State opened its doors to students in 1869, under the name Third State Normal School. The school was one building, the Stearns House, a renovated hotel purchased by the state Legislature for $3,000.
Cotton flannel, also known as Canton flannel, is a type of the fabric that is napped on one side, and is made with cotton fibers. This fabric is stouter than that made of wool, and is known for its increased warmth.
Material is usually 43 to 45 inches wide, we do have some 54 and 60 inch wide materials and they are marked as such. The flannel comes straight from the mill with the sizing in. In other words, it is not preshrunk. Flannel is 100% cotton and does not meet the standard for the flammability of children's sleepwear. Flannel images are a scan of an 8 by 8 inch swatch. Colors are shown as accurately as Internet methods allow.
