How Cotton Fabric Is Made : From Seed to Cloth

A Story of Sun, Soil, and Skill

With sunlight, water, and time, it grows into a plant bearing soft white cotton bolls. It begins with a tiny cotton seed, sown into warm soil.

What looks light and airy still carries seeds and needs to be cleaned before use. When the bolls open, cotton is carefully picked by hand or machine.

Cotton is then ginned to remove seeds, leaving soft, clean lint ready for use.

They are then spun into yarn, where loose fibres gain strength and become continuous threads. These fibres are carded and combed, gently straightened and aligned.

Here, texture, density, and the very character of the cloth begin to take form. The yarn is woven on looms, crossing threads to create fabric.

Finally, the fabric is washed, dyed, and finished for use.
