if you mean "what are the stages of processing cotton than this is your answer.

1. Step 1: Cotton fibres come from the seed pod/boll of the cotton plant. This pod is big and brown, full of cotton wool and seeds. When the boll is ripe, it bursts open ready to be harvested.

Step 2: After the bolls have been harvested by a machine, they are then fed into a cotton gin. This particular machine separates the cotton from the seeds.

Step 3: Then the cotton is pressed into bales so that it can be taken to a factory or mill where it can be cleaned properly.

Step 4: In the cotton mill or factory, the cotton fibres are formed into a fluffy sheet called lap. The lap then goes into a carding machine where wire toothed rollers gently teases the fibres apart. This machine straightens out the fibres and gathers them into loose ropes. They are called silvers.

Step 5: Next, the loose ropes are twisted together by rollers. This makes the ropes stronger and thinner. This process is known as roving or drawing.

Step 6: Lastly, the spinning frame twists the roving into a finer yarn. The yarn is then wound onto a round piece of metal called a bobbin.
