Question

a cotton shirt, before it reaches you , completes a long journey.Elaborate this journey starting from cotton balls.

Answer 1

Cotton is a natural fibre grown on a plant related to the hibiscus. The seeds are planted in spring and cotton plants grow into green, bushy shrubs about a metre in height. The plants briefly grow pink and cream coloured flowers that once pollinated, drop off and are replaced with “fruit”, better known as cottonbolls.Textile mills purchase cotton and receive the bales from gin yards or cotton warehouses. These mills start with raw bales of cotton and process them in stages until they produce yarn (fibers twisted into threads used in weaving or knitting) or cloth (fabric or material constructed from weaving or knitting).

Answer:

$\huge \mathcal \red {Cotton}$

Ginning-The raw fibres are separated from the seeds by a process called Ginning.Ginning is done by machines called cotton gins. Dirt and other waste are also removed.The separated seeds,if not damaged can be used to grow more cotton plants.

Carding- The cotton fibres are straightened and arranged so that they are easier to spin into threads. The fibres may also be combed to remove the short fibres.

Spinning-The clean straightened cotton fibres are spun into yarn by a process called spinning. Spinning draws out the short fibres from the mass of cotton and twists them together into long, continuous thread.Spinning is the process of transforming cotton fibres into yarn or thread.

Weaving- The yarn is woven into cotton cloth by weaving. Special machines called looms are used to weave the cloth.

Weaving is the process of arranging two threads of yarn together to get a fabric.
