Sanforizing treatment is typically given to cotton fabrics to reduce shrinkage when washed. The process involves stretching, steaming, and then re-sizing the fabric to stabilize it and prevent further shrinkage.
Cotton thread is compatible with fabric made from yarn of plant origin, such as cotton and linen, and for rayon (made from a plant substance), because it has similar shrinkage characteristics. It is not suitable for most synthetics, which do not shrink, or for fabrics treated to reduce shrinkage. Its low stretch is useful for woven fabrics, but not for knits, which require more stretch.
The term for reduction or depreciation in cotton fabrics is "shrinkage." This occurs when cotton fibers contract due to moisture, heat, or agitation, leading to a decrease in the fabric's size. Additionally, "fading" can also refer to the loss of color or vibrancy in cotton fabrics over time.

Cotton is used to manufacture cotton fabrics and cotton-blend fabrics. Cotton is also used to manufacture other products made from cotton, such as gauze and feminine care products.
Wool and cotton are really good for absorbency... Polyester sucks though...
You can make linen from Cotton.
High quality baby fabrics are made up of 100% cotton or cotton/polyester blends. Pure cotton sheets are often much softer then other artificial blends and can be re-washed numerous times for long-term usage.
