The Journey of Cotton Fabric
From the cotton plant to fabric, the process involves picking the fluffy balls from cotton plants, combing and cleaning the fibers with special machines to remove dirt and seeds. The short fibers are twisted into long, strong threads using spinning techniques, which are then woven together to create fabric. The fabric-making journey includes dyeing the fabric with various colors and patterns for different uses beyond just clothing.
