Cotton is one of the most widely grown crops in the world, grown in over 100 countries around the world. It has become one of the main materials in the fashion and fabric industries, with millions of tonnes produced annually. From clothing, bedding, furniture to fencing and many other applications, cotton plays an important role in our daily lives.

1. What is Cotton?

Cotton fabric is made from cotton fibers (derived from cotton bolls) or it can be combined with other synthetic fibers such as polyester or semi-synthetic fibers like viscose, rayon, etc. It is famous for its easy dyeing ability, high durability, good moisture absorption, and comfort when wearing. Because of these characteristics, cotton has dominated the fashion and garment industry worldwide.

2. Cotton Production Process

This is how cotton fabric is made:

1. Harvesting: Cotton is harvested in November – December (according to the Gregorian calendar) through three different harvesting periods to ensure quality.
2. Removing Impurities: After harvesting, cotton is cleaned to remove impurities, which determines the quality of cotton fibers.
3. Spinning: Cotton fibers are spun and treated in special solutions to form cotton yarn.
4. Weaving: Cotton fibers are then woven together to create fabric sheets.
5. Dyeing: Cotton fabric can be dyed in different colors as required.
6. Washing: Finally, cotton fabric is washed to ensure softness and quality standards.
