I think, Hannelore is right. There are some advertises in the web. It seems
to be a flannel mitt especially for the face.

Hello Douglas, hello Lowlanders,



The classic French etymological dictionary by Dauzat, Dubois & Mitterand
(Larousse, Paris, 1964) confims the Welsh origin via English:

* *

*Flanelle*  1650, from English *flannel*, loanword from Welsh *gwlanen*,
from *gwlân*, “wool”



Regards,


Jean-Luc Detilleux
