• From the fields of India to the fashion capital
  of Paris, cotton , has been making waves in the
  textile industry for centuries. Its versatility
  and durability remain unparalleled, making it a
  popular choice for clothing, home decor,
  accessories, and more. But how did this fabric
  come to be so widely used?
• Join us as we explore the journey of cotton fibre
  to fabric and what makes it such an indispensable
  material.

UNDERSTANDING COTTON

• Cotton is a natural fibre that comes from the
  cotton plant. An evergreen shrub, the cotton
  plant is indigenous to tropical and subtropical
  parts of the world, including the Americas,
  Africa, and India. Cotton has been used to make
  fabric for centuries, and it is one of the most
  popular fabrics in the world.
• Cotton is soft, durable, and comfortable, making
  it ideal for a variety of clothing items such as
  shirts, pants, and dresses. It is also used in
  industrial applications, such as making rope and
  fabric for upholstery.

COTTON PROCESSING FROM FIBRE TO FABRIC

• Cotton is a natural fibre that is obtained from
  the seedpod of the cotton plant. The processing
  begins with the picking of the cotton bolls from
  the plant.
• The bolls are then cleaned to remove any
  impurities such as dirt, leaves, and seeds. The
  next step is called ginning, where the cotton
  fibres are separated from the seeds.

• The cotton fibres are then spun into yarn, which
  can be used to weave or knit fabrics.
• The process of turning cotton into fabric is a
  fascinating one that involves a number of steps,
  from harvesting the cotton to weaving or knitting
  it into cloth. Let's take a look at the stages
  involved in the production of cotton fabric.

HARVESTING AND GINNING

• Cotton harvesting and ginning are two of the most
  important steps in the journey from fibre to
  fabric. Cotton harvesting is the process of
  picking the cotton bolls from the plant, which
  can be done by hand or by machine.
• Once the cotton has been harvested, it needs to
  be ginned this is when the fibres are separated
  from the seeds. Ginning can also be done by hand
  or by machine, and its an essential step in
  preparing cotton for spinning into yarn or fabric.

SPINNING

• The spinning of cotton is a process that has been
  used for centuries to create fabric from the
  fibres of the cotton plant. The fibres are then
  combed or carded to align them in a single
  direction.
• They are then spun into thread or yarn using a
  spinning wheel or machine. The resulting thread
  or yarn can be used to weave fabric or knit
  clothing.
