Cotton

What is cotton and how is it produced?

Cotton's been a game-changer in the fashion world for centuries, and it's got a ton of perks. So, what exactly is cotton, and how does it make its way from the plant to our closets?

Cotton is one of the oldest and most versatile natural fibers in the world. It comes from the seeds of the cotton plant, which is grown in tropical and subtropical regions like India, the USA, and Africa. The plant produces white, fluffy fibers that are harvested after they're ready. Harvesting used to be done by hand, but these days, modern agriculture often uses machines to extract the fibers more efficiently.

After the cotton is harvested, it goes through a few steps before it's processed into fabrics. First, the seed hairs are separated from the seeds, a process known as ginning. Then, we clean and spin the fibers into a fine yarn. This yarn is used to make fabrics that are then used in the fashion industry. Cotton fabrics are well-known for being durable, long-lasting, and gentle on the skin.

Here's some info about the pros and cons of cotton

Cotton's got a lot going for it, and that's why it's such a hit, especially in women's fashion. One of the best things about it is how breathable it is. Cotton fabrics are great because they allow good air circulation and ensure that moisture is absorbed by the skin and released to the outside. This keeps your skin feeling nice and dry, even on hot days. Cotton's perfect for people with sensitive skin or allergies because it doesn't have any irritating chemicals and feels soft on the skin.

Another perk is that they last a long time. It's made of pure cotton, so it's durable and tear-resistant. You can wash it a lot without it losing its shape or quality. It's also pretty easy to care for. Most items of clothing made of pure cotton or mixed fabrics can be used at low and not too high temperatures. You can also wash them in the washing machine. On top of that, cotton is an eco-friendly material, especially when it's organic. Organic cotton, also called Organic Cotton, is grown without pesticides or chemical fertilizers, so it's a more sustainable choice. ICAC and a bunch of other groups make sure that things are used in a sustainable way.

Another reason cotton is so popular is because it's so versatile. You can make it into lightweight summer fabrics, like poplin, or more robust fabrics, like denim. This flexibility lets it make a bunch of different garments that are both fashionable and practical while still being really comfy to wear.

Here's how you get it just right: Washing and caring for cotton

Proper care is key to keeping your cotton clothes in good shape over time. Cotton is a strong and easy-care material, but there are still a few important things to keep in mind.

• Washing: You can usually wash cotton clothes in the washing machine at higher temps, like 30 to 40 degrees, and they'll be fine. Use a mild detergent to protect the fibers and keep the colors bright. You can also use higher temperatures for heavily soiled cotton, but pay attention to the care instructions on the label.
• Drying: Ideally, cotton should be air dried because it can shrink in the dryer. If you're planning on using the dryer, go for a low temperature and a gentle cycle.
• Ironing: Cotton is a breeze to iron, especially when it's still a bit damp. You just need a medium to high ironing temperature to get rid of wrinkles. Light fabrics like poplin need less heat than heavier ones like denim.
• Storage: Store your cotton clothes in a dry, well-ventilated place. Don't leave damp clothes in the laundry basket or closet for too long, because that can lead to mold or bad smells.
