It seems reasonable to begin at the beginning. Cotton is considered the oldest and first known fabric used to produce materials. Over the years 1000s cotton was the staple of all fabrics. Today, it is still produced and used primarily as it was in the beginning.

History:

Cotton was grown yarn and fabric in Pakistan as early as 3000 BC. It is known that about the same time cotton fabric was used by the Egyptians in the Nile Valley. In 800 AD cotton had spread across Europe by Arab traders. Christopher Columbus found cotton growing in the Bahamas islands, when he discovered America in 1492. In the early 1500s, cotton has been used worldwide for the manufacture of cloth. In the United States, the seed Cotton first thought was planted in Florida in 1556. Shortly after, in 1607, farms in Virginia along the James River, are cotton producers.

Cotton fibers were first spun into fabric by machines in 1730 in England at the beginning of their industrial revolution. However, a new machine invented by Eli Whitney revolutionized mass production of cotton for use in the textile industry. In 1793, the cotton gin was patented. This new invention could harvest the cotton 10 times faster than by hand. The cotton gin helped to supply the needed cotton and the value of the crop cotton increased from U.S. $ 150,000 to over $ 8 million.

Manufacturing Process:

The cotton is still harvested a modern version of the gin cotton where cotton seeds are removed and the cotton fibers, called lint, are bailed and sent to the factories. On machines textile mill and pave the tenancy mix and the cotton fiber. This is done by blowing and beating the lint. The cotton fibers are separated into long and short fibers. The short fibers, usually shorted an inch, are sent for use in other industries. The long fibers, measuring 1â € to 1 Â ¾ Â € œ long are inflated and placed in the carding machine. The carding machine cleans even cotton fibers and lines them side by side in the same direction. By combining fiber and cleaning, carding machine makes the fibers into rope untwisted called flexible tape.

The cotton tape is then fed into the spinning frame where it is spun into cotton yarn. Devices day modern mill can rotate up to 2,500 revolutions per second. The spinning process spins the tape in the cotton thread that will be woven or knitted into fabric.
